Conventional
termite control involves the use of liquid termiticides. We
treat actively foraging termites using Termidor.
Termidor
isEPA registered and approved
and is applied at very low rates.
Typically, the active ingredient (fipronil)
is just 0.06% of the finished solution.

works". Click here to view the entire Termidor
homeowner
video.
A Termidor Treatment
begins with trenching. 6 -to- 8 inch deep
trenches are dug along
the exterior foundation walls where termites are actively foraging.
Next, we inject
the trenches with Termidor until absorbed into the soil, we then
back-fill each
trench with un-treated soil. In certain instances when we are unable to
trench because of obstructions such as roots or large rocks, we then
treat the soil adjacent to
the foundation by long rod, injecting Termidor at 6" -to- 12"
intervals.
When it is not possible to trench because of concrete slabs, porches or
blacktop surfaces, drilling is required. Slabs must be
drilled vertically at 12 inch intervals and no more than 6 inches from
the foundation. The soil below the slab must be treated from the bottom
of the slab to the top of the footing. This method of
drilling and treating is also used for dirt-filled porches and stress
cracks sometimes found in slabs.
Once the concrete or black-top is
drilled, an appropriate low pressure injection method [liquid or foam]
is used to treat below the surface of the slab. Following the
injection process, all drill holes are then neatly sealed.
When your home is treated with Termidor, a "Treated Zone" is
established around the home. With a Termidor barrier in place, Termites can't
smell it, see it, or feel it. Since they don't know it's there, they
forage freely in a treated area.
Once a
termite has
ingested or contacted Termidor treated material with its body, it
becomes a "carrier." Every
other termite it contacts will be
infected...which
in turn infects every other termite it contacts. But Termidor works
slowly, letting termites contact many others before dying themselves.
With Termidor there is no odor and no worry for people
or pets.
In
situations where the infested structure is within 50 feet of a well or
100 feet of a body of water, termite baits and wood
treatment applications may
be the only treatment options.
Termidor Sub-Slab Foam Applications
Adding foam enhances the coverage capabilities over conventional
treatment methods. Generally, a combination of both
foam
and liquids are required on most treatments. The rapidly expanding
action of Termidor foam helps penetrate into remote areas where conventional
liquids will not go or reach. Foam is primarily
injected under concrete slabs, behind brick or other veneers, into framed walls,
hollow block voids and shallow crawl spaces.
Since gaps can occur under slabs when dirt settles, traditional liquids
are not always able to provide complete coverage. Therefore, the soil
not treated or the underside of the exposed slab provide pathways on
which termites can travel.
By using
Termidor foam, the foaming action of Termidor is able to "carry"
the pesticide up and onto the bottom of the slab. Termidor foam also
provides
outstanding lateral
coverage to the soil beneath.
This has proved to be invaluable for some homes
where settling has occurred underneath the slab. Termidor foam does
this by precisely targeting the potential problem area. In most cases
foam treatments will provide outstanding coverage and produce results
in a relatively short time frame.
Wall
Void Foam and
Wood Treatment
Applications
Bora-Care
is a
patented liquid formulation that protects structural wood from
attacking wood destroying organisms. It contains disodium octaborate
tetrahydrate also called DOT, a ("borate
compound") as the active ingredient and also contains glycol
penetrants to help the active ingredient diffuse and permeate into the
wood. Bora-Care works by eliminating
wood as a food source and or harboragefor termites, carpenter ants,
wood-destroying beetles and decay fungi.
A Bora-Care
treatment is odorless, does not affect painting, staining or gluing and
does not change the appearance of the wood. Most importantly, Bora-Care treated wood is nontoxic to
humans and animals.
BORA-CARE
provides double protection by acting as both a contact poison and a repellent to termites.
As a contact poison, it will kill termites that come in contact with
treated wood. University studies show that BORA-CARE will provide 100
percent mortality to termites in just five days. This is an advantage,
since termites are repelled or eliminated before wood damage occurs. Wood
Injection: Bora Care is the
recommended treatment of choice for wood and wall void treatments. Bora-Care can be
applied as a surface spray on areas such
as sills, rim-joists and sub-flooring. Additionally, localized
infestations can be treated by drilling small holes into the wood.
Holes are then injected
with Bora-Care, thus filling the termite tunnels inside
the wood.
Wall Void
Foam Injection:Another
technique for applying BORA-CARE is foaming. In existing structures
where construction is complete, wood can be treated without removing
sheet rock or other wall covering by drilling small holes
(at least one per void) and applying an expandable
dry foam with the consistency of a shaving cream to the interior
portions of a wall void. When we want to maximize horizontal coverage
to specific
areas, [e.g. on sill plates and around wall studs] a foam treatment
both protects and provides the best coverage of imbedded termite
infestations both on and inside the woods
surface.
The Advance termite bait system Click

to see how the Advance System works
The
Advance
Termite
Bait System
utilizes
the latest termite research and
technology available. It features
the ultra low
disturbance station design that keeps termites feeding voraciously on
the Puri-Cell™bait matrix, which leads to colony
elimination.
The Advance Termite Bait System with it's
revolutionary dual
stage
station
design is without question the best bait system
to come along in the
last 10 years... as well as the system we recommend above all others!
This approach involves
installing the Advance Termite Bait
Stations around the
perimeter of a home every 10-15 feet see (Product
Brochure). The
stations are
then checked on
a regular basis by the PMP. Upon finding termites in the stations, a
active bait
cartridge is placed inside the station which is fed upon by
termites and destroys the colony attacking the home.
With the
Advance Termite Bait System, Technicians need not enter your
residence or business to monitor or treat for termites.
Why
choose the Advance Termite Bait System over other baits?
Newest
technology
available in a
sturdy station designed to minimize tampering from children and pets.
Offers
the latest advancement in
termite baiting technology via a dual stage process that features an
ultra low disturbance design to pattern termite's natural feeding
behavior, leading to enhanced colony elimination.
Features
Puri-Cell™, a unique
food source preferred in studies by termites over the wood used in most
homes.
Allows significant
amount of bait to be fed to the colony in less time to eliminate your
termite colony faster, giving you peace of mind.
The
Advance System can be installed as a
"stand alone" defense or (when applicable) combined with other
treatment methods such aswall
void foam
and wood
treatment applications.
A
detailed monitoring Inspection Service Report is left behind following
the completion of each
quarterly Inspection. This report covers termite activity [hits] at all
the Advance Station sites located on your property. The report
also
indicates weather or not we have introduced the active bait matrix[diflubenzuron].
Hundreds of thousands of homeowners
sleep
easier. Shouldn’t you be one?
In
the field the Advance Termite Bait System intercepts termites in as
little as 15 to 45 days and
eliminates colonies in as little time as 120 days. Low impact to your
family and pets, ATBS relentlessly and quickly offers outstanding
performance, making it a superior option to all other types of termite
control.
UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER TESTIMONIALS
"Our research studies in Ohio indicate
that the Advance Termite Bait System shows considerable promise for
termite control. The eastern subterranean termite (Reticulitermes
flavipes) quickly infested the Advance stations, with strong "hits" in
just 1 to 2 months, which allowed us to quickly progress to the baiting
phase. Termites readily consumed the Advance bait matrix, which led to
the cessation of termite activity and colony elimination within several
months."
Dr. Susan Jones
Ohio State University
"We have worked with diflubenzuron
for Whitmire Micro-Gen as well as with other companies on a number of
occasions and we are convinced this is in fact an effective active
ingredient in the control of termite infestations."
