They are available in granules form and contain rich concentrates of fragrant red cedar oil which is very effectual in driving away these insects.

The good thing about this system is that the home and foundations are not touched at all. This is great for historical buildings or those where the hole drilling may look a little out of place. Capping the tubes means that they can be checked for years and poison put in only where activity is seen. This is good not only for the householder, but also for the environment because only necessary amounts of poison are used at any given time. It also means that the tubes will stay in situ forever and holes will not have to be re-drilled in future.
Naturally, all of these kinds of treatments fit different situations and circumstances. But the great aspect is that the service provided is custom fit for every particular job. For those with new builds, having the foundations treated as they are built is a good idea, but for those with ancient homes, they can have the tubes sunk into the surrounding garden.
Termite pest control needs to be "nipped in the bud" before the damage starts. Avoid moisture accumulation near the foundation, which provides water needed for termite survival. Divert water away from the foundation with properly functioning downspouts, gutters, and splash blocks. Soil needs to be graded or sloped away from the foundation in order for surface water to drain away from the building.
Cellulose (wood, mulch, paper, etc.) that is in contact with soil provides termites with ready and unobservable access to food. It is very important to eliminate any contact between the wooden parts of the house foundation and the soil. Maintain at least 6 inches between the soil and porch steps, latticework, door or window frames, etc. Never stack or store firewood, lumber, newspapers, or other wood products against the foundation or within the crawl space. Prevent trellises, vines, etc.
Once a colony has established it is necessary to call in the experts to undertake some rather drastic measures to get to the queen of the colony. This can include digging a deep trench all around the home or business premises and laying chemical bait to entice the bugs to eat it. They in turn take the chemical back to the nest which in turn poisons the queen and the colony dies.
