Phoenix Termite Control
“There are two types of homes in Phoenix…those with termites and those
that are gonna get “em!”
If your Phoenix home doesn’t already have termites…it’s just a matter of time before they
will infest. Everyday unsuspecting
homeowners have their home secretly invaded by termites. Hidden termite damage can diminish a home’s
value and result in thousands of dollars worth of damage repair. Need an online Phoenix Termite Control quote?
Many areas of Phoenix were once virgin desert
or farm land with moderate termite pressure.
Construction has created moisture sources, shelter from our desert heat,
and food (the wood in your home). As a
result termite populations are
exploding and the demand for Phoenix termite control has never been greater.
As the homes age…the initial protective barrier wears out…no longer fending off
the hordes of termites waiting to feast on your home.
Termites are destructive, causing major
structural damage to homes and commercial buildings across the United
States. Yearly estimates of damage run
into the billions of dollars.
Phoenix homes are more likely to see large termite infestations and the resulting
damage as termites feed year round unhampered by cold weather or freezing
temperatures.
Bill’s Phoenix Termite Control recommends
that every home should be inspected at least once a year for termites. Order your FREE TERMITE INSPECTION today.
Phoenix is home to several species of termites and
not all infestations should be treated the same. For example, treating the soil around a home has
no effect on an infestation involving Western Drywood or Dampwood termites. Homes recently treated for one termite
species should be inspected yearly for evidence of other types.
Most Phoenix termite exterminators are only familiar
with the more common native species of subterranean termite. These termites are easily detected by the
shelter tubes constructed on foundation walls or inside garages. Detecting other termite species found in Phoenix
can be difficult for inexperienced exterminators. Undetected
termite infestation can result in structural damage and depreciate the value of
your home.
Phoenix homeowners should have their homes inspected at least once a year by a
trained and experience termite inspector.
Catching a termite infestation early can save the cost of expensive
damage repair and maintain a home’s resale value.
When termites are found it’s important that a
complete termite treatment with an effective product be done early in the
infestation. Maintaining a continuous
protective barrier minimizes the chance of re-infestation, while using an
effective termiticide ensures a lasting treatment.
Effectively getting rid of termites requires
a specialized set of termite skills. Experience is required to know where the
likeliest entry points are in your home. Entry points are may be hidden and hard
to access.
Phoenix termite control requires specialized
equipment most people don't own. From rotary
hammer drills to soil treatment rods, and foamers, this equipment helps exterminators
find and root out termites that may elude homeowners.
Typically a service to eliminate termite infestations
involves hundreds of gallons of termiticide injected along and under a home's
foundation, underneath concrete slabs, or within walls. These access points and
materials are not readily accessible to the general public.
Choosing
a good Phoenix termite control exterminator can be a complex decision as there
are hundreds of termite exterminators in Phoenix alone.
Phoenix
termite control companies offer different treatments and warranties to deal
with termite issues. In many cases, they should come back to retreat the
affected areas at no extra charge. Make
sure this provision is included in your termite control agreement.
Many
liquid termiticides can last for five years or more when properly applied. Not all termiticides are the same…a termiticide
that works well in other states may not fare so well in the sandy soil of our
Sonoran Desert. The actual length of
time these treatments control the termite problem in your home will depend on
the thoroughness of the application, the severity of the termite control issue
in your area, type of termiticide used, and other conditions. Normally if swarmers are found the year after
you have an exterminator come out, it's because of human error in application
and not in failure of the chemicals.
Termiticides
are tested thoroughly for any effects they might have on the health of people
and animals. Before any chemical can be used, it must be tested and approved by
the EPA and the State of Arizona.
Rather
than focus solely on the price of a termite service Arizona homeowners need to
be aware of what termiticide is being applied around their home, how and why.
