What should local treatment of drywood termites include?

Local treatment of drywood termites involves targeting the infested wood directly, and wood injection is considered one of the most effective methods for this purpose. This technique involves injecting a termiticide directly into the infested wood galleries or tunnels created by the termites. By delivering the chemical treatment right where the termites are living, wood injection ensures that the maximum amount of the pesticide reaches the pests, effectively eliminating them.

While surface sprays and foam applications can deter or kill termites externally, they may not penetrate deep enough into the wood where drywood termites are residing. Fumigation, on the other hand, is more suited for larger infestations and entails enclosing the entire structure to ensure even penetration of the gas, which is not always practical or necessary for localized infestations. Therefore, wood injection stands out as the most targeted and efficient method for treating drywood termite infestations locally.
