At Precise Exterminating Service, Inc., great care is taken to protect your home and the surrounding environments that are treated for termites. Here is a great resource to learn more about termites at homepestcontrol.org. Your home should be safer after pest treatments and not poisoned by toxic chemicals. That is why it is important to use IPM or heat treatments.

Before diving into the solutions, it is important to understand the scope of damage that a termite infestation can cause and why you should hire highly experienced professionals, like Precise Exterminating Service, Inc.

Termite Damage

Imagine stepping onto your patio for your morning cup of coffee only to feel your foot suddenly break through the boards beneath you. We have probably all seen a similar scene to this one in a movie or TV show, but it does portray the kind of fast destruction that termites are capable of.

Termites are known for very quickly eating through the wood in swarms. Unfortunately, this weakens and destroys the wood of all kinds, including doors, floors, walls, and even trees on your property. 

While they cannot eat through a home’s concrete foundation, termites can swiftly destroy almost the entirety of the wooden structure. Without addressing the problem quickly, damage can be extensive and expensive. 

Remember, where there is one, there are many. By the time you see one termite in your home, there is a near guarantee that your home has an infestation, and you need to call a professional- fast.

What is Integrated Pest Management?

IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management and refers to the practice of taking environmentally friendly methods of handling unwanted household pests.

While termites are known for causing a lot of damage to your home, they also are a part of the natural world. As a result, toxic pest treatments will not only kill termites but can potentially spread to other places that termites travel and unintentionally soak into the ground and poison the environment.

Integrated pest management also ensures that the areas in and around your home are set up to effectively prevent future termite infestations, not only to exterminate the cause of your current problem. 

These methods require extensive, in-depth knowledge about termites in order to be effective. Precise Exterminating Service, Inc.’s staff are highly qualified and experienced in using a variety of efficient integrated pest management methods to solve termite infestations quickly.

Why Use IPM Methods?

Non-toxic chemical treatments will not only exterminate termites but they will not harm you or your pets, either. That does not mean your pets should consume the treatments, but neither you nor your family will suffer consequences to your health simply for residing in the presence of nasty chemicals.

IPM involves taking preventative measures to control your pest problems. Termites are attracted to wood, so removing excess wood, like mulch or firewood, from around the base of your home can make a huge impact in curbing the spread of these pests.

Despite its effectiveness and safety, integrated pest management in the pest control industry is not a guaranteed method when looking to companies for termite solutions. It is important to look for a company, like Precise Exterminating Service, Inc. that will get the job done in the safest, most long-lasting way possible.

While sometimes nontoxic chemicals and other natural solutions are used to exterminate and deter termites, heat treatments are also effective and safe.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment is an extremely effective way to kill termites in your home. However, there are various things to consider before an expert can determine whether heat treatment is the right option.

As the name suggests, heat treatments use heat within a tented enclosure around a house to quickly kill termites. It is eco-friendly and chemical-free, so residents could return to their homes shortly afterward.

Despite the great success of heat treatments, it is best paired with other integrated pest management methods to prevent further issues because there are no chemical deterrents. 

Overall, heat treatments are a great option to solve a termite infestation. Just remember that you will need to follow up with more preventative measures. 

So, Why Use a Natural Termite Solution?

With so many options and companies to choose from in the midst of a termite infestation, why should you opt for the natural services provided by Precise Exterminating Service, Inc.? Simply put, because the job will be done right.

Safety is a huge priority, for you, for your family (pets included), and the environment. Harsh chemicals are not necessary in order to get rid of termites.
