TORPEDO PEST CONTROL - Laserfiche WebLink

20 Service Centers Nationwide TERMITES, CARPENTER ANTS AND OTHER WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMS: Pestmaster will offer the following service protocols for treatment of termites and other wood destroying pests:  Treatment of soil for subterranean termites, using “trench and treat” methods, and drill and treat when treatment below concrete is recommended.  Fast knockdown of termite or carpenter ant “swarmer’s”. This is done with fast acting fogging equipment and performed when the building is empty. Pyrethrin’s are the preferred material used because of its fast kill of swarming termites and the fact that it has no residual.  Dry wood termites may be addressed with localized treatments using borates such as Nisus Bora Care. It is essentially non-toxic and lasts indefinitely on the wood. We will use our 40 years of experience to determine if treating the wood with a drill/spot treat method is best, but in some cases, we will utilize a “foaming” type of service, with the active ingredient in the foam.  Carpenter ants are nocturnal, so a nighttime inspection will help us locate the source of the infestation. We will use a material well known for successful treatment of carpenter ants called Termidor (or equivalent). Additionally, we may utilize a bait that foraging carpenter ants will locate and transport to the colony, thereby eliminating the entire infestation.  Other wood destroying organisms, such as fungus infections, will be treated once the cause is identified and checked. Examples of this would be excessive moisture buildups (in sub areas) due to a plumbing leak or possibly insufficient ventilation. BED BUGS: Once infested areas are detected, we have a variety of control methods available to use, these steaming treatments eliminate bed bugs and their eggs by steaming the infested areas. This is an effective, non-chemical, non-toxic product, which makes it safe to be used around people and their pets, including the elderly, children, or other sensitive populations. Other Bed Bug treatment options include:  Pheromone Monitoring Traps.  Steam.  Low-toxicity residual pesticide applications and “insect growth regulators” (IGR’s) for bed bugs. Another aspect of bed bug pest control is education, and Pestmaster technicians will help educate the staff and ensure everyone is aware of the importance of reporting any suspected bed bug presence. Once there is an infestation of bed bugs, they spread extremely efficiently, so technicians will need to expand their investigation of bed bugs to other likely locations where they may have spread. They can live for up to a year without any food source, and they are very mobile – spreading via clothes and furniture, through walls, and even by walking straight out the door across the hall to another home.
