Termite inspections

McCann Exterminating offers professional termite inspections performed by licensed pest control professionals. A thorough inspection covers the entire home, inside and out, to look for signs of termites and how they may be entering the structure.

Step 1: Phantom direct application treatment

• McCann Exterminating uses Phantom termiticide-insecticide as part of its termite control program.
• Phantom is described as an "undetectable" (non-repellent) liquid termite control product that termites cannot sense and therefore do not avoid.
• It kills termites through both ingestion and contact. Individual termites are affected over time, which allows the product to spread through the colony.
• Phantom has undergone extensive testing, is approved for use in every termite state including New York, and is designed to provide long-lasting residual control.

Step 2: Advance Termite Bait System

McCann Exterminating also uses the Advance Termite Bait System as a second step in termite elimination:

• Bait stations are installed in the soil around the perimeter of the home after inspection.
• Stations are checked regularly for termite activity.
• When termites are found in a station, a termite bait cartridge is installed so termites can feed on the bait.
• Termites that feed on the bait return to the colony and share it with other termites. As more termites feed, the colony is gradually eliminated.
• After a colony is eliminated, monitoring cartridges are reinstalled and inspected regularly to detect and treat any new colonies that may invade the property.

Termite damage and risk

• Subterranean termites can work 24 hours a day and often cause damage in hidden areas such as behind walls, crawl spaces and basements.
• Termites can cause significant damage if left undetected for years.
• Most homeowner insurance policies do not cover termite damage, so regular professional inspections and a bait system are recommended to help prevent costly damage.
