COMMERCIAL pest control
Living in Oklahoma, your structure will always be susceptible to termites unless you have had the foundation pre-treated before built, or you have your home treated with a baited monitoring system. Experts estimate that termite damage alone amounts to between $1.5 billion and $16.6 billion per year. While we may need proper rest to be productive, these almost microscopic pests do not.They are constantly foraging for sources of food and water while multiplying in numbers.
Getting rid of termites is all about understanding how termites function and determining the proper treatment method for your home or business and protecting the surrounding environment.
Hobbs Pest Control, LLC offers two primary types of termite treatments:
1. baiting system
The idea behind a termite baiting system is to surround a house with bait stations that draw in foraging termites. When termites find a bait station, they begin feeding at the station. Since termites are a very social species, they share their food and even clean one another. Using our knowledge of termite biology and behavior, we can eliminate a colony when they share active bait with one another.
Trelona© ATBS gained our confidence for a few reasons:
- Faster Discovery: The bigger Trelona© ATBS stations are found faster and more often. 1
- Faster Consumption: The highly palatable bait matrix results in faster consumption by termites as compared to other food sources.2
- Faster Colony Elimination: Faster discovery and continued feeding promotes faster control. Through social interaction, termite unknowingly pass the active ingredient onto other termites. 3

2. chemical tratments
The idea behind a liquid treatment method for termites is to create a barrier of insecticide between where termites live and your home or business.
Typically, this treatment method involves trenching around the foundation of the house, filling the trenches with termiticide, and filling in the trenches. This approach also involves drilling holes 12-18 inches apart where carports, patients and porches meet the main body of the house. Termiticide is injected into these holes and the holes are patched. Significant advancements in termite treatment chemicals like Termidor© have made liquid treatments extremely effective.
