To begin with, we have a solution for every termite problem and we will find a way to make it affordable for almost everybody. At a minimum, we can do a spot treatment in the affected area with Phantom or Termidor & that will kill those termites pretty quick. That will also kill any other termites that happen into the treated zone, but it will not kill termites that come up from a different nest or colony in an untreated area. A spot treatment is kinda considered a band aid approach, but it is a very "environmentally friendly" approach and if that's what you can afford to do, then we will certainly oblige you.

We still do conventional treatments, quite a few of them in fact. That's where we dig a trench (about 4"- 6" deep and wide) around the perimeter of your home and drill patios, porches, plumbing, and electrical drops so that we can saturate the soil with termiticide. The termiticide bonds with the soil to give you a treated zone at all potential entry points. I want to tell you a little about drilling your slab because some people think it will damage the integrity of their foundation... it won't. However, if you have nice ceramic tile or hardwood floors, we will only drill it if we know that termites are active in those areas, and sometimes we don't even have to drill your pretty floors then, but that gets kinda tricky and every situation is different... we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

We also offer termite monitoring and monitoring/treatment programs. This what we call Termite Management because we are actually managing termite populations. IT IS NOT TERMITE BAITING, we feel that baiting insinuates that we are trying to "catch" termites with a "lure" and they have to eat the termiticide for it to work. Termiticide that termites have to eat spread through their colony by trophylaxis (they feed one another by oral and anal excretions) and it can take a long time to control termites that way.  We do install monitoring stations around the perimeter of your home and we have to check them at least quarterly... every three months. Here is some important information about termite monitoring... DON'T BURY THE STATIONS IN BARK MULCH, it's hard for us to find them if they're buried under a foot of mulch.
