Drywood Treatments
The Turner No-Tent Solution
It used to be that in order to fumigate a home the entire family would have to move out as well as any pets, plants and even the goldfish. To avoid contamination from the toxic chemicals that would be pumped into the house all food needed to be double wrapped in plastic bags. The utilities and power would need to be shut off, and the home from roof to ground would be covered with large tarps. Then, as if that wasn’t enough this process could take 3-4 days and cost thousands of dollars.
Though this inconvenient, difficult, expensive and time-consuming process killed all of the termites in the home there was nothing to keep them from coming back—even in the same year. And in specific homes with heavy drywood termite activity, the question isn’t will they come back, but when will they reinfest.
Bora-Care® THE BETTER SOLUTION
Finally, the solution to this problem is here and Turner Pest control offers it. Whole House Drywood Treatment with Bora-Care is an EPA-registered termicide and fungicide that is sprayed directly onto the wood. Containing the active ingredient borate (remember 20 Mule Team Borax®?) Bora-Care is a mineral salt that is proven to be less toxic than table salt to humans, pets, birds and fish when toxicity levels are compared in a laboratory setting, yet still deadly to insect pests. And because it is a mineral salt, it won’t break down over time. Bora-Care’s patented formula when sprayed penetrates deep into the wood and remains there for the full life of the wood, providing residual protection.
