Hi-Tech Termite Information

Termites cause over a billion dollars in property damage a year in the United States.

That’s more than all fires and floods combined. Rather than fast and furious, termites work slowly and silently as they eat away your home or other property. Whether old or new, damage is done without you realizing it.

You might not
need to tent for termites..

Hi-Tech Termite Control’s microwave system saves you:

• Time
• Money
• Inconvenience

Check for yourself:

Several species of termites attack structures in California. You can check for signs of termite infestation even before having a professional inspection. Small brown, beige or black droppings around baseboards, window sills and door jams can indicate termite presence. Brown mud tubes or tunnels can indicate serious infestation. If you discover either of these clues,
call Hi-Tech for an appointment.

An Advanced Technology

Hi-Tech’s microwave technology is clean and efficient. In 1993 it was tested by the state of california and had a 97.4% efficacy on the structure that was treated.

Microwaving is used in conjunction with state-registered chemicals such as Termidor and Premise2 to treat drywood and dampwood termites.

For subterranean termites Hi-Tech uses state-registered chemicals such as Boracare or Prelude. These subterranean termites are also treated with Termidore, either by soil treatments or slab foundation injections

Is tenting always necessary?

No. However, our licensed inspector will advise a full-structure tent fumigation if necessary.
Whether Hi- Tech fumigates or uses the microwave system, our service contract is the same. Based upon the nature and extent of termite infestation, Hi-Tech’s advanced technology could be your answer. It requires:

NO tenting
NO moving
NO removal of plants, plastics or furs
NO removal of food, cosmetics or medications

Better yet…

NO landscaping or roof damage
NO disconnecting computer, security systems or antennas
NO special tree or shrub trimming

Work is quick and easy

Simply stated, microwave energy converts to heat that kills termites infesting the wood.
Heat is generated by a magnetron mounted on a tripod for easy access to floors, walls and ceilings.

The magnatron’s funnel-shaped wave guide directs microwaves to the infested area, penetrating the wood and killing the termites.
