Termite Protection and Warrantee
Note: Termite inspections are Free
Termites cause somewhere between 5 and 10 billion dollars in damage to structures annually. The Shenandoah valley, because the climate, is in a part of the country where termites are very active. An area which is considered to be a very high pressure area with a lot of termite activity in comparison to areas farther north. This is because we have a warm and temperate climate-we get substantial amounts of rain per year-and before anyone moved here in the early 1700s, this area was covered with forests and still is for the most part. For millions of years, termites thrived here because of these conditions and an abundance of wood from the native trees. Brown Exterminating offers free inspections and advanced treatments for termites in Rockingham county, Augusta county and Rockbridge county Virginia.
When you invest in termite protection for your home, you are investing in the protection of your biggest investment. Brown Exterminating in Harrisonburg has been inspecting, treating and guaranteeing termite damage since 1972 and is the pest control company you can trust to get the job done.
Every product used Brown Exterminating for termite removal has a label which is the EPA approved document that gives instructions for using the chemical to protect a structure from termites. It has instructions for treating methods, chemical mixing instructions, and the volume of chemical that is to be used to do an effective treatment. In Virginia, the label is the law, which means that when a pest company does a treatment, they have to follow these instructions to the letter when treating. To do less than what the label says is not only dishonest and deceitful, it is a violation of state law.
 Brown Exterminating uses chemicals containing neonicotinoids (The name literally means “new nicotine-like insecticides”) such as Termidor in a very controlled manner for termite protection. It is the only product on the market that has been 100 percent effective in all the USDA test sites and is safer to mammals and the environment than past traditional termite pesticides. Brown Exterminating uses the Termidor perimeter plus label, which does not require the drilling and injecting of brick veneer. Before Termidor was registered and brought to the market, the manufacturer treated over 5000 houses with termite infestations using the perimeter plus label instructions with 100 percent success. It is the best termite treatment to date.
How some exterminating companies save money on termite protection at your expense.
- They drill the holes at 18 to 24 inches, even though the label say "drill holes no farther apart than 12 inches."
- They do not dig a trench and inject the soil. They may just drill and inject the brick veneer. This is actually about 25 percent as much work as doing the job the way the manufacturer suggests for an effective treatment. They may just spray the outside, but this does not work because the termites live in and come from underneath the soil to attack your house. Chemical that is sprayed on the surface will not come into contact with the termites and will degrade in a couple of months if it is not protected from the elements by being incorporated in the soil.
- They do not apply chemical at the label rate. There are companies that will reduce the volume of chemical that is needed to give a complete and uninterrupted treated zone around the house, as well as mix the chemical at a weaker rate than you are supposed to. Making the chemical mix weak will affect how long it will last.
- Use of older, less effective, but less expensive chemistry. There are some products on the market which are much cheaper than Termidor, however they do not control termites 100% of the time. Some pyrethroid class chemicals with the active ingredients permethrin or cypermethrin actually fail to control termites as often as 25 percent of the time. Termidor is the only product that has been 100 percent effective, with no exceptions, however it is as much as 5 to 6 times more costly.
Brown Exterminating follows label directions exactly to insure that the protection is complete, effective and within the boundary of the law. We stand behind our work and our standard 1 year warranty for termite treatments. This is why we have been successful for over 40 years.
