Fumigation
This type
of treatment is for Drywood Termites only.
The
Drywood Termite thrives in warm, moist, coastal regions. As a
result, most infestations occur in the warmer regions of the U.S.,
including Florida, California and Texas. If you live in any one of
these areas, your house could become an appetizing meal for these
wood-destroying insects.
Drywood
Termites are systematic destroyers. They have a rigid caste system
with workers that can devour your home from the inside out.
It all begins when male and female termite swarmers fly away from an
established colony. These swarmers are looking for a new home where
they can mate and start new colonies.
Once a male and female find a small opening in wood, they break off
their wings and enter. Of course, because there are many
male-female pairs in a swarm, more than one colony could infest your
home.
The pair seals the opening and mates within the wood. Soon, the
queen's eggs hatch. The offspring, making up the caste known as
workers, then do the work of the colony. As workers, they will tend
the young, and go to great lengths in search of food for the
colony--even if that means devouring the wood of your precious home.
Powder-Post Beetles--Another
Home Invader
Adult Powder-Post beetles lay
eggs in the wood which hatch into whitish, worm-like larvae that
destroy wood for months, or even years. These larvae leave behind
trails of destruction--long tunnels packed with powder-like
particles of partially-digested wood ready to begin the cycle of
destruction again.
Fumigation--Complete Control
If our inspection reveals a
Drywood Termite or Powder-Post Beetle problem in your home, only one
option has been scientifically proven to provide complete control:
total fumigation.
A wood-penetrating gas fumigation is the only sure way to kill
all the enemies within. This safe, thorough procedure has been
performed effectively for decades on homes, schools, museums and
other buildings. Whether you have termites or other wood-destroying
insects, we will release the required amount of fumigant into your
home. This fumigant penetrates the wood and destroys the existing
infestation. Once the fumigation is completed, you'll re-enter your
home knowing that the battle against wood-destroying insects is
finally over. And you have won.
Localized Treatment
In some cases a Drywood Termite
infestation can be eliminated by treating only the affected area.
The most common method of localized treatment is to drill small
holes into the termite galleries/tunnels and inject a termiticide.
It is important to note that this method can be used only
when the area of infestation is completely visible and
accessible. A total fumigation will be recommended otherwise.
Key
Benefits
1. Full
penetration of wood members = complete control.
2. Elimination of
inaccessible infestations.
3. Safe and
effective
4. The fumigant is
odorless, clean, non-staining, non-flammable.
