What Options Will A San Diego Commercial Termite Control Company Give You?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

When your home becomes infested with termites, the only real solution may be to fumigate, if it’s gotten bad enough. But when it’s your business, shutting your doors for three or four days and losing all those profits just isn’t an option. And you’ll probably be so busy running your business that you won’t have time to take care of the termite problem yourself. So what’s a business owner to do? Call a San Diego commercial termite control company! Here are just a few of the options that these professionals will offer.

If you have only seen a few termites and aren’t sure that there’s an infestation, or even more than just a couple wanderers, a spot commercial termite treatment may be your best option. With this type of treatment, a San Diego commercial termite control company will target and kill termites that have been seen, or areas where they know they go. However, spot treatments don’t cover an entire area and they also don’t target the entire colony. So if you have more than just a few termites to get rid of, a more intense treatment may be needed.

If the termite problem in your business is more than just a few termites, but not exactly a full infestation either, termite baits may be a viable commercial termite treatment for you. These baits contain a substance that is extremely harmful to termites and will eventually kill them. Before they do however, the termites that wander into the bait will collect enough of it to take back to the other termites in the colony. Once that happens, all of the termites who take the bait will then die. Many different types of termite baits are available so be sure to speak to your San Diego commercial termite control company about which one is right for you.

If your business has an infestation, or is well on its way to one, you may need a full comprehensive commercial termite treatment. With this type of termite treatment a full barrier is placed around the structure of the building, such as around crawl spaces and slab foundations, and the termites’ living space. This barrier will surround the entire structure so that no termite can enter. Because this is such a full-scale operation, a comprehensive commercial termite treatment is one of the most expensive that you can use; but it’s also the most effective.

No one wants to have to deal with termites invading their business. But if you find that they have made their way in, don’t panic! You have tons of options available, and the right San Diego commercial termite control company will be able to recommend one to you.

Accuracy Plus can handle all of your pest control needs, both inside and outside. Call us at 888-675-0258 for more valuable information.

When Should You Hire A Termite Pest Control Company?

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

When termites are spotted in a home, most homeowners are faced with the question of whether or not they’re going to deal with it themselves, or if they’re going to call in a professional exterminator. And if you’ve recently found yourself in this situation, there’s only one answer: call in termite pest control professionals, and call them as soon as you can!

Termites rarely travel alone, unless it’s swarming season and they’re traveling off to begin a new colony; and even then, it’s only a matter of time before they form that colony in your home and start to tear the structure down, piece by piece. Because of this, as soon as you see a termite in your home, it’s important to call someone who’s experienced and knowledgeable about how to get rid of them. Even if it’s not a full infestation by the time you get termite pest control, catching termites early is the best protection you can give your home.

Even in swarming season, which is generally in the spring and fall months, it’s best to call in professional termite pest control if you see even one termite in your home. When termites swarm, they leave one colony to go begin another. And if they decide that your home makes the perfect spot for a new colony, it won’t be soon before you have a termite problem that is out of control.

So, don’t waste time wondering whether you should take on a termite problem alone, or call in some termite pest control. Call professionals at the first sign of termites so that the problem is never a very big deal.  

Accuracy Plus can handle all of your pest control needs, both inside and outside. Call us at 888-675-0258 for more valuable information.

Is Salt An Effective Ant Pest Control Measure?

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

If you have ants in your home, the chances are good that you’ve already searched online for different home remedies for ant pest control; and you’ve probably found a lot! And out of all the home ant pest control measures that are suggested, salt always comes out as number one. Many people swear by salt, saying that sprinkling some of this down around ant hills outside and on the trails inside the home that it will keep the ants away. Truthfully however, salt may kill ants, but it’s not enough to keep them from entering your home. And, if you don’t use enough of it, the ants will generally just find a way to move around it.

The theory behind using salt for ant pest control is that when the ants walk into the salt, it will dry out their body, successfully killing them. But, ants actually need to be submerged in salt before it has that kind of effect. And while ants may crawl into your salt shaker and die, if you just sprinkle it around the inside and outside of your home in a single path, the ants will just walk through it or around it; and walking through it doesn’t expose them to it enough to kill them.

Salt isn’t the only spice that’s used as a home remedy in Los Angeles ant pest control. Cinnamon, bay leaves, and chili powder are just some of the spices often used to get rid of ants. But they will all have the same affect that salt does; the ants will find a way to avoid it and get to the sweet stuff in your home that they’re looking for.

The best way to get rid of ants in Los Angeles is to call in Los Angeles ant pest control professionals. Exterminators and pest control companies will be able to get rid of the ants inside and outside your home using products that they know are both safe and effective. And in fact, calling in a Los Angeles ant pest control professional is even safer than laying down spices. Imagine if chili powder or cayenne pepper (another touted ant control remedy) got into your pet’s or your child’s eye – the damage could be severe! But with professional Los Angeles pest control, you can be sure that the ants won’t find their way in and that everyone is safe. And you don’t have to cover your entire house with salt to do it!

What’s Better- Orange Oil Termite Treatment or Tenting?

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

Your home can be severely damaged by termites without you being aware of it. Termites eat through wood leaving behind worm-like holes. This can cause parts of your home’s wood structures to be hallowed and weakened. It is possible to kill termites and stop the damage to your home. The most popular treatment options by exterminators are orange oil termite treatment and tenting. Before you can pick the best termite treatment for your home, you need to know which is better.

Orange oil termite treatment contains a natural occurring ingredient, d-limonene, to kill termites. This treatment is lethal to termites, but your family, pets, and plants will not be harmed by orange oil treatment. D-limonene has a low toxic level and is the preferred termite control method of many exterminators. With orange oil termite treatment, you do not have to move out of your home or stay away for a long period. It is not harmful to any living being other than termites. It leaves a pleasant orange scent in your home as it kills termites.

Tenting for termites, on the other hand, is a more complex procedure that uses toxic chemicals to gas your house to kill termites. The house needs to be emptied of humans, pets, and plants before this type of termite removal can be done. Food has to be sealed or removed before tenting for termites begins. Your house is tented and sealed and lethal gas is pumped into it. Fans are used inside to circulate the toxic gas throughout the inside walls. After some time, the exterminator will air out the house and then test the air quality of the house before you can move back in. You should avoid tenting if possible, but, ultimately, the exterminator will tell them the best option available to them.

Accuracy Plus is available for all of your pest control needs. We provide orange oil termite treatment when treating your home. For more information about our services, visit our site or call us at 888-675-0258.
