Should you wait until you see termite damage before you do something about it?
Termites can do terrible hidden damage to your home as is shown in the beams above. A great percentage of this damage occurs behind your walls and under floors where its severity isn't immediately visible. Visible termite damage most often means extensive hidden problems. Don't wait -- call us today for a free inspection and estimate. Don't let termites eat you out of house and home.
Take Action Now to Avoid Future Problems: Many people don't become aware and concerned about termites until they see the obvious signs of their house being eaten out from under them. The time to do something about termites is now, to handle any current infestation and/or to prevent any possibility of future problems. Instead of hoping you don't have a termite problem, call us for a free inspection and estimate before you have extensive rebuilding to do.

ABOVE: Typical signs of termite infestations include swarming of winged adults in the spring (March, April, May, and June) and occasionally autumn (September and October). A "swarm" is a group of adult male and female reproductives that leave their nest to establish a new colony. Swarming occurs when a colony reaches a certain size.
Termidor—America's first 100% termite solution
 Preferred Pest Control uses proven Termidor® technology to control termites—the number one most destructive pest in America. Termites are a concern for homeowners in 49 of the 50 states. In any given year termites damage more homes than fire, and the cost of termite damage is about twice that of storm damage.
  Termidor is a new type of termite chemical barrier control that for over 6 years has faced the stiffest tests that both U.S. and foreign researchers could throw at it. Without exception, Termidor passed with flying colors. In fact, no other termiticide in history has consistently returned '100% effective' results whenever and wherever it was used.
"Transfer Effect" controls the whole colony
Termites are social insects who live in large, underground colonies. They feed each other primarily by passing food from mouth to mouth. They groom and contact each other as they forage for food. Termidor takes advantage of this social behavior to control and kill the colony.
As well as eating Termidor, a termite will also unknowingly carry it back to the colony on its body. Every other termite it contacts, feeds or grooms will itself become a carrier, contacting and infecting others.
Because the fipronil in Termidor is slow-acting and allows the termite to continue its normal routine, the termite remains active long enough to transfer the termiticide to a large number of other termites in the colony before dying.
This combination of ingestion, contact and 'transfer effect' (which is unique, and puts Termidor in a category by itself) routinely provides 100% termite control.
Can be 2-6 times faster than a bait system
Termidor's unique 'transfer effect' manages termite colonies a lot faster than bait systems. Typically, a Termidor treatment will provide 100% control of termites in 3 months or less. Baits can take from many months to several years to control the colony.
Pre-Construction Treatment
If you are building a home, you should be aware that the best time to treat for termites is before the slab foundation is poured. Call us today to see how inexpensive it is to apply a chemical barrier between your house and potential termite problems.
