Early Detection Termite System

Controlling termite infestations has become a more advanced practice due to the evolving nature of the termites and climate change. The termite swarms of the past that attributed many pest control service calls during spring and fall swarm season, which also contributed to 50% of the pest control industries’ revenue stream, aren’t as prevalent now.  Although studies indicate termite colonies has grown over the years, people are less aware of possible termite infestations; therefore, early detection termite systems have become increasingly important.  Understanding the benefits and the need to utilize early detection can make or break a pest control business in today’s world.

Reclaimed Crawlspaces & Unfinished Basements

Over the years, building codes and modern home builders have preferred enclosed foundations made of either hollow blocks or bricks. Although this method of home building added to the aesthetics of a home and decreased it’s energy consumption, it also can lead to problems such as moisture, mildew,  mold, fungus, rot and odors. These are all perfect living conditions for pests; therefore, understanding how and why to reclaim crawlspaces can improve the living quality and structure of a home significantly, while keeping pests at bay.

Insulation Pre & Post

As we continue to build homes further and further into traditionally wooded areas we are forcing wildlife to adjust to living side by side with humans. They have become quite comfortable at this, and they are costing homeowners a fortune removing, sanitizing, disposing of contaminated waste and re-insulating of structures both in attics and crawlspaces in the underfloor areas. Understanding insulation and also adhering to today’s strict energy efficient guidelines takes a lot of industry knowledge. Let us help you making the right choices.

Gutters

Gutters will catch debris from leaves, pine straw, shingle coating, soil and seed that collect in gutters. This results in stopping up the gutter that leads to water damage to the roof edge, facer board, and ice block that results in roof decking damage. Insect and rodents also use the debris that collects in gutters for harborage and is a main source of mosquito development. Gutter cover systems assist in preventing gutter stoppage and helps protect the structure from insect, rodents, animals, and water damage.

Tube Systems

Tube systems first used in Australia, started catching on in the United States shortly afterwards during the 1980’s. With over 30 years of research, still little is known about this effective treatment by many pest control services. Tube systems are used to apply pesticides in void areas in walls and under structures without the need to have to go inside. This type of application process has proven to be very effective for both common insects that find their way in and subterranean termites. Spot treatments to specific areas can be made without intrusion of messy holes and inconvenience to occupants. Insecticides are applied in areas where insect find harborage and not on exposed surfaces. If you would like to know more about Tube Systems contact Paul Hardy.
