Any time your dealing with an insect that eats your house, it is
very important that you take it very seriously. We here at Alpha and Omega take all of our services very seriously and leave
no stone unturned when it comes to Termite control. Our company uses the best product on the market for Termite control and
that is Termidor SC.
Termites eat wood, and can consequently
cause great structural damage to your home if left unchecked. A typical homeowner's insurance policy does not cover destruction
caused by termites, even though they cause over 1 billion dollars in damage to homes throughout the United States each year.
Our job is to create a chemical barrier that Termites cannot survive through to access your home. This barrier is created
both on the outside and inside using state of the art equipment and trained technicians that take pride in the way that they
do their job. We guarantee our service
completely and offer extended warranties annually.
Termite Inspection
You can’t assume your home is termite-free just because you’ve
never seen them – they only swarm once or twice a year, and you might miss it! We thoroughly inspect your home
or business, looking for the tell-tale signs of termite infestation. Some of the things we look for are:
- Mud tubes built for traveling above ground
- Damaged or hollow-sounding
wood
- Pinholes in drywall or wallpaper
- Small piles of sawdust
- Piles of small wings
- Other specific
termite indicators
In addition, we offer Real Estate
transfer termite inspections.
Termite Treatments
To control these unwanted pests, we provide an effective treatment plan, which may include:
- Exterior Protection - a continuous chemical barrier is created around the
exterior of your home or building to keep termites from entering
- Direct Contact - as possible, we apply chemicals
directly to the pests
- Insect Growth - we apply chemicals which duplicate the insect's natural hormones to
disrupt their growth and development
Termite
Facts
Subterranean termites are extremely destructive. First they build tunnels to wooden structures, and then
they burrow into those structures to obtain food. Any wood or cellulose-containing material constitutes termite food, and
given time to do so, they’ll eat until nothing is left but a shell. Termites avoid light and air, so they build their
colonies where you’re not likely to stumble upon them.
Is
it a termite or an ant?
On the off chance you do see them, remember that it’s easy to confuse termites with
ants. Fortunately, there are features that distinguish them.
