Termite Control
Termites infest nearly 5+ million U.S. homes each year. Termite colonies work 24 hours a day, and unless there are obvious signs of infestation, a termite colony can go undiscovered causing serious damage.
Subterranean Termite Infestations are only eradicated by injecting chemical directly into the soil under or around the home. Sometimes this requires drilling holes thru the concrete foundation or trenching under and around your home. Then the chemical is injected the holds and into the soil below. The holes are sealed with a concrete patch. A more advanced infestation can be found in 2nd story eaves and attic areas.
What you can expect from Quality First
Our licensed termite inspectors conduct a thorough inspection of your home or business.
We will provide you with a report that contains a diagram of your home or business that will indicate any areas where infestation, infection and/or damage may exist. We will recommend a method of treatment to resolve your termite problem and protect your home or business. Additionally, if infestation or infection damage is found, our inspector will provide you with an estimate for all treatment and/or repairs.
Our inspectors will discuss what long-term prevention plans are available, such as termite service control policies for future protection.
The inspector will also be looking for other issues such as fungus and/or dry rot, and conducive conditions that can lead to potential problems. Some of the most common problems are plumbing leaks, cellulose debris and earth to wood contacts.
Preparing for your termite inspection:
For the most thorough inspection, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the inspector:
Ensure that areas under all sinks in bathrooms, kitchen and laundry areas are accessible to the inspector. Move all items a minimum of 2 feet away from the interior garage walls. If your home is built on a raised foundation, the inspector will go under the house. Please ensure that the access opening to the sub structure is accessible. If the access is located in the floor of a closet, clear out the closet. For the exterior perimeter, ensure that all landscaping is trimmed away from the structure for easier accessibility for the inspection.
Quality Care Treatment
Spot Treatments are less costly and does not carry the inconvenience of vacating the property for 3 days during the fumigation process. A termicide is injected into small holes into the termite galleries delivering the treatment material directly to the colony. A local treatment may apply if the infestation is not extending into inaccessible areas that are impractical to open for a liquid or foam application.
Foam Treatment offers effective, long lasting residual protection. By mixing a long-term soluble borate solution into exceptional foam solution, we can then reach inaccessible areas, using a high pressure injection system, creating a barrier between termites and your most valuable assets. The foam contains a surfactant that allows the chemical to slowly absorb into the wood, eliminating any active infestation as well as creating a chemical barrier against future infestation. Foam concentrates fill in where termicides cannot reach. Adding foam to our products, Timbor, Bora-Care, and Termidor enhance the coverage capabilities over conventional treatment methods. The security is in knowing that blind spots within your voids and slab floors are thoroughly protected. The way the foam enhances our treatments is by holding the chemical concentrates in a suspended encapsulating state. It lasts for hours and breaks down leaving termicide residue on contact with wood surfaces and/or soil instead of running off unevenly as conventional sprays often do.
Annual Control Service is a valuable investment to protect your home or business. Our Annual Control Service allows you to extend the length of your guarantee for as long as you choose to continue the service.
