Removing Termite Infestations in Louisiana

Are you concerned you might have termites in your Baton rouge or New Orleans home? Do you know that termites can be active all year round, especially in Louisiana? Did you know that termite damage is typically not covered by homeowners’ insurance? If you have had termites in your Louisiana home or know anyone who has had them, then you know of the horror stories that come with a termite infestation. At Pelican Pest Control, if you need assistance with locating an infestation, getting rid of it, or simply preventing it before it happens, we can take care of you! 

Signs of Termites In Your Louisiana Home 

In most cases, if you have a Louisiana termite problem, you will know. However, there are some cases where if you have never taken preventative measures then an infestation could be arising slowly without your knowledge. The type of termite you have in your house can also affect the way you see them because drywood termites burrow deep in wooden structures and subterranean termites hang out underground. If you want to keep damage minimal, it's crucial to pay attention to the signs of termites listed below: 

Peeling paint or discolored drywall

Wood that sounds hollow 

Loosening tiles or buckling floorboards

Excessively squeaky floorboards 

Crumbling wood 

Any pile of discarded wings

Mud tubes or tunnels on the foundation of your home

Any flying swarms of termites

Frass which is termite droppings, often confused with wood grains or sawdust

There are ways to attempt to prevent termites like piling your wood at least 20 ft from your house, clean up any wood or plant debris around your house, trim your bushes and branches away from your house, and reducing moisture in and around your home. However, when termites have already found a way in, there’s almost nothing you can do on your own to get rid of termites besides call a team of professionals.

Our baton rouge, Louisiana Termite Treatment Process

Termites cause more than $5 billion worth of damage to homes around the US each year, but with our help, your home will not be one of those. The way we treat termites in or around your home is very in-depth as we want to make sure we are thorough with our removal. We work hard to protect your home and your family from a termite infestation using the process below.

Inspection

We’ll begin by performing a thorough inspection to determine if termites are active in your home. All of our pest professionals have the training needed to spot the subtle signs of a termite infestation that the untrained eye might miss. We’ll inspect the entire interior of your house, looking in each room, closet, and even the attic. We’ll look for dead swarmer termites, bubbling paint, exit holes, and mud tubes. Outside, we’ll examine around the foundation of your home to check for mud tubes. 

Treatment

We offer two termite treatment options, bait stations or liquid treatments. Based on the findings of our inspection, we’ll discuss these options with you and help you choose the one that will work best for your particular situation.

Bait Stations 

We use Trelona ATBSⓇ bait stations, which work to provide ongoing structural protection through termite elimination. We will install these bait stations around the perimeter of your home by digging a 2 to 3 inch diameter by 1 inch deep cavity into the ground 10 to 20 ft apart from each other. Bait stations provide year round protection and are mostly used for prevention from future infestations. 


While tunneling in search of a food source, termites find a Trelona ATBS bait station, feed, then leave a pheromone trail behind them as they travel back to the colony. Upon returning to the colony, they share the bait with others and recruit more termites to follow the pheromone trail back to the source. What they don’t realize is the bait contains Novaluron—an active ingredient that prevents the termites’ vital process of molting. Over time, more and more termites will have fed upon the bait and start to die, beginning the process of colony elimination.

Liquid Treatment

Our other termite treatment option is a liquid treatment using Termidor HE Liquid. We’ll dig a trench around the entire perimeter of your home, apply a liquid treatment into the soil, then refill the trench. We’ll also drill holes into your slab and apply treatment within the holes before patching them back up. This treatment creates a barrier around your house. If termites pass through it, they’ll bring the termiticide back to their colony, again, eliminating the entire thing.

Follow-Up

After every treatment we use on your property or in your home, we will always follow up 60 to 90 days later. With termites especially we want to make sure our products worked with the elimination of the termites as well as the prevention of further infestations. After initial follow up, our professional pest removers will also come out to your property once a year to inspect any installed bait stations and provide any services needed to them. With the Louisiana weather, termites are inevitable but we will do our best to fully prevent them from entering your home.
