Termite Treatment Company Near Me

When Treating Wood Destroying Organisms, you have options. These Organisms and insects will cause destructive damage to the home to the point that they may become structural and ultimately result in expensive repairs. Suppose you suspect a termite infestation or see insects around. In that case, it is best to contact a pest control specialist like Imperial Pest Prevention at 386-956-9506 to perform a WDO inspection and discuss Termite and Wood Destroying Organism treatment options. Below are some treatment options that are available from Imperial Pest Prevention.

Borate Wood Treatment Company

Borate is a powder or liquid Used at Imperial Pest Prevention, which helps protect the wood from termite infestations and other wood-destroying organisms such as wood-decaying fungus. Borates are readily absorbed into unfinished lumber, creating a barrier that eliminates termites from eating the treated locations. This termite treatment works best to protect vulnerable areas of the home that cannot be readily repaired, such as subflooring, floor joists, exposed studs, crawl space framing and sills, attic trusses, and rafters. Borate treatments help stop wood-damaging insects from infecting adjacent untreated wood locations. We at Imperial Pest Prevention recommend this treatment for any crawlspace or attic. It also works very well for those choosing to do remodeling and who want to treat lumber locations before sealing up the studs or framing in a wall.

One thing that many customers like is the fact that it is a natural selection of the control. Borate consists of oxygen and boron. When termites feed on treated wood, borates slowly disrupt the metabolic functions of the insect. Because it acts gradually and is undetectable to termites, termites are social; the borates eventually prevent the termites' food processing, causing those insects to starve to death.

Termite Bait Stations Vs. Liquid Treatment

Dating back to Pre 1989, Chlorinated hydrocarbon was the preferred product for termite liquid control and a good reason. These products were phenomenal at controlling termites and lasted a very long time. They were fantastic for termite control, but they started to show up in municipal water supply testing as time went on. Safety concerns caused a quick halt and resulted in a ban that ultimately resulted in the banned products.

​

Liquid termite treatments are most used as preventative and corrective measures to help prevent or correct subterranean termites. Imperial Pest Prevention utilizes nonrepellent treatment products containing Fipronil, like Termidor. This choice of product providers' superior results is cost-effective for a homeowner and has an extremely high success rate vs. termite bait stations year after year. Full-service termite treatments will vary from home to home, depending upon the home's size and construction.

 

  • This barrier is designed to last five years before requiring additional re-treatments.

  • This barrier is odorless, colorless, and tasteless to termites allowing termites who pass through a treated zone to become an unknowing carriers of the termite treatment, resulting in the contamination and eradication of the whole infected family of termites in that colony.

  • This effective termite treatment is also safe for the environment without causing adverse environmental reactions.

Termite Spot Treatment Company

Termite Spot Treatments are another termite treatment offered to homeowners and businesses. The Downside to this type of treatment is that it is complicated to guarantee termites' spot treatments. Termites are hidden destroyers that remain hidden and can be in more than just one affected location that may show symptoms of an infestation.

Spot treatment is usually for a highly localized, isolated location. It is the delivery of a termiticide into a site or void where termite infestation symptoms may be present in the attempt to control that localized area. It is still a shot in the dark as far as a treatment success rate, as termites may be present in more prominent sites that may be hidden. Imperial Pest Prevention will not deny a consumer a spot treatment, but we will educate the purchaser of that service. Hence, they have a clear decisive choice going into that decision.
