Pest
Control
Ants are ranked #1 in the structural pest control marketplace. Carpenter Ants cause damage to structures by using their large (jaws) mandibles to create nesting places in wood. Large colonies of Carpenter Ants will create a sound similar to putting rice crispies in milk. The large piles of (saw dust) frass they leave behind, cause many property owners to panic.
New technologies in ant control are moving away from short term repellents that break down quickly in the exterior elements and lock in pests post treatment, in favor of long lasting transfer effect materials which are circulated through colonies of ants by their own foraging workers. The new materials applied go undetected by working foraging ants thus providing a phantom punch to the colony followed by complete elimination.
Comprehensive
Carpenter Ant Control Technologies:
- Termidor
for Ants- an attractive low grade material labeled for ants in 2003.
- Termidor is non-repellent- ants,
unaware of treatments pick up material as they forage. This formulation will not trap ants inside the home after service like previous repellant materials.
- Outstanding
contact activity with long residual- highly active at low concentrations.
- A
new mode of action, transfer, and secondary kill- material is transferred
from ant to ant.
- Low
water solubility- more resistant to rain and natural outdoor effects.
- Odorless-
no complaints of foul smell.
- Will
not damage treated surfaces or plants- outdoor plants are not
harmed by Termidor
Carpenter Ant treatment requires a professional approach to insure control of the main colony and the satellite colonies in a structure. The Micro-Injector System allows treatment of areas we could never treat before.
The Micro-Injector is a stainless steel electrical unit which pumps air under pressure. Our technical staff will plug in the unit to treat large sections of wall voids, soffits, voids behind vinyl and aluminum siding. The Micro-Injector has a trigger wand for precise volume control and application of the low grade liquid material into the air stream.
Our philosophy on Carpenter Ant Control is to put the treatment in voids where ants nest, rather than along the interior walls and floors where you live. We also incorporate the use of granular and water-based microencapsulated low grade time release materials to knock down ant populations in and around structures.
Cockroach
Services:
Integrated Growth Regulators (I.G.R.s) affect cockroaches very differently than conventional pesticides. I.G.R.s do not kill adult cockroaches, they affect the early instar (babies) by causing deformities in reproduction and curled wings on their backs. I.G.Rs will affect the second generation of cockroaches which usually re-infest an area after the adults are all knocked down. Contact insecticides , which kill the adults, are used in conjunction with I.G.R.s and represent the second phase of our one-two punch program. Contact insecticides are delivered in our microinjection air stream units to flush and penetrate behind cabinetry and roach nests. Click here to view our Insect Bait Technology Program.
Rodents
We deploy our Advanced Rodent Control Technology program, the industry's newest and most advanced program for rodent control.
- Twice
as effective for rats and mice over old rodent stations.
- Mice
and rat burrow baiting, bait station installation.
- Tamper resistant: Our newly designed rodent stations are up to 57% more effective due to enhancements in the construction. We use only bait block materials which are solid, not loose meal or pellets. Once bait blocks are locked in our tamper resistant stations, your pets and children may resume normal activities.
