First, some termite infestations, particularly dry wood termites, require fumigation to rid a structure of the colony. While fumigation is an approved and sometimes necessary treatment approach, the termiticides used aren’t safe to breathe. That’s why customers have to leave their homes and take their pets with them until the fumigation is completed and the property is cleared.
If you have termites and you’ve been hesitant to call in a professional termite company because you’re wary of home fumigation, we’ve got good news. Thanks to advancements in termiticides and termite control processes, many infestations can be eradicated using environmentally safe termite control.
Low-toxic termite treatments provide a range of benefits:
Local termite treatments are an effective alternative to fumigation for many termite infestations and they could be just what your home needs. Localized termite treatment is when a structure is treated in various locations known to have a termite infestation. Not to be confused with termite spot treatments, which is a single application to a specific spot, localized treatments may also qualify for a full-structure warranty just like a fumigation treatment.
Hi-Tech Termite Control localized, eco-friendly termite extermination options include:
We’re proud to feature some of the most advanced, noninvasive termite technology available. Our patented microwave device, the XTerminator 4.0™, focuses microwaves into wooden structural members, wall voids, and other areas without the need for drilling, spraying, and other intrusive methods.
Orange oil is a natural, plant-based solution that is highly effective as a localized treatment for termites. Composed of 95% d-Limone, orange oil treats infestations by soaking into the wood where the termites feed. Orange oil is not only an effective and eco-friendly termite treatment solution, but it also continues to work for up to six weeks after an application. That means deadly long-term effects for termites and more protection for your home.
Another proven plant-based termiticide, Altriset is particularly effective against dry wood and subterranean termite infestations.
