Subterranean termites (Reticulitermes flavipes) are a significant pest in North America, known for their extensive underground colonies. These colonies can house between 60,000 to over 1 million termites, including workers, soldiers, and reproductive individuals. At the heart of the colony is the queen, whose primary role is to reproduce. An Eastern subterranean termite queen can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day, ensuring the colony's rapid growth and sustainability. This prolific birth rate makes these termites a formidable threat to wooden structures, necessitating vigilant monitoring and control measures.

The Threat of Subterranean Termites and How HALO Home Services Can Help

Subterranean termites are one of the most destructive pests in Southern California, causing billions of dollars in property damage across the United States every year. These termites live underground in large colonies that can house millions of members, making them highly efficient at tunneling through soil and into your home’s wooden structures. They create extensive networks of mud tubes that provide moisture and protection as they forage for food, which includes your home’s foundation, walls, and wooden beams.

The damage caused by subterranean termites is often more severe than other types because of their large colony size and relentless feeding habits. They can quickly compromise the structural integrity of a building, leading to sagging floors, damaged walls, and even complete structural failure if left unchecked. These termites are particularly adept at hiding their presence, as they enter homes through tiny cracks in the foundation or gaps around plumbing. By the time visible signs appear, such as swarming winged termites or mud tubes along your foundation, significant damage may already be done.

Ordinary Sub Treatment            VS.             HALO Blockade     

  1. Drill Hole Placement: Holes should be drilled approximately 2-3 inches from the foundation or from the edge of the concrete slab.

  2. Spacing Between Holes: The holes should be spaced about 10 inches apart to ensure adequate coverage and distribution of the termiticide.

  3. Drill Bit Size: Typically, a 1/2 inch drill bit is used for creating these holes.

  4. Application: Once the holes are drilled, inject the termitecide at a rate of  about 1 gallons of the solution per 10 feet in the drill holes per foot of depth. 

  5. Sealing Holes: Once the treatment is complete, seal the holes, possibly using plugs designed for this purpose, to prevent any escape of the termiticide and to maintain the aesthetic of the concrete surface.

  6. Trench Treatment: Alongside drilling, it is advisable to also perform a trench treatment around the perimeter of the structure where possible. This involves digging a trench (about 6 inches wide and deep) and applying the solution directly into it, enhancing the barrier against termites.

  1. Drill Hole Placement: Holes should be drilled approximately 2-3 inches from the foundation or from the edge of the concrete slab.

  2. Spacing Between Holes: The holes should be spaced about 18 inches apart to ensure adequate coverage and distribution of the termiticide.

  3. Drill Bit Size: Typically, a 1/2 inch drill bit is used for creating these holes.

  4. Application: Once the holes are drilled, inject the termitcide into the soil using a 360 degree tip on a power sprayer

  5. Sealing Holes: Once the treatment is complete, seal the holes, using plugs designed for this purpose, to prevent any escape of the termiticide and to maintain the aesthetic of the concrete surface.

Protect Your Home with HALO's Blockade: The Ultimate Defense Against Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites can wreak havoc on your home, causing extensive and costly damage before you even know they’re there. To defend your property against these relentless invaders, HALO Home Services offers Blockade, an advanced termite control solution that provides unmatched protection for your home. Blockade is a full perimeter barrier treatment designed to create a virtually impenetrable shield around your property, ensuring that termites never stand a chance.

​

Unlike traditional termite treatments, Blockade uses highly advanced, non-repellent products that termites cannot detect. As subterranean termites tunnel through the soil, they unknowingly pass through the treated zone, picking up the product and carrying it back to their colony. Over the next 6-8 weeks, this revolutionary treatment is transferred from termite to termite, ultimately reaching the queen and decimating the entire colony. This comprehensive approach not only eliminates the current infestation but also prevents future colonies from establishing themselves on your property.

​

HALO’s Blockade is more than just a treatment—it's a proactive solution that provides peace of mind. Our expert technicians conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify the optimal placement for the barrier, ensuring complete and lasting protection. With HALO’s Blockade, you can trust that your home is safeguarded against the devastating effects of subterranean termites, without the hassle or disruption of more invasive methods.
