Termite Protection
In addition, Barnes provides corrective treatment for all wood destroying organisms including subterranean termites, dry-wood termites in Florida and Arizona, powder post beetles, old house borers, wood decaying fungus, and even specific moisture conditions. Termites Cause More Damage than Storms and Fires! There's no doubt that fire and weather cause a devastating amount of damage, and each disaster that occurs is highly dramatic and emotional. In fact, more than 365,000 homes in the U.S. are involved in a fire each year. Less dramatic - but no less disastrous - is the damage caused by termites. Termites cause more than $1.5 billion annually in damage every year. That's more than fires, storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes combined!
While Homeowner's Insurance can help recover losses from fires, floods, and earthquakes, but it is almost impossible to get insurance against termites. Unlike fire and weather catastrophes, when termite damage begins, it can remain undiscovered for years. But eventually it can lead to sagging floors or rafters, loose trim, cracked plaster, and more. Eventually, major repairs to the structure may be necessary. Termite Protection From Professionals At Barnes, our professional pest control operators have the knowledge, the experience, the materials, and the equipment to protect your home against termites.
Conventional Liquid Treatments have been a reliable method of treatment over the past two decades. By applying a liquid barrier under and around the structure's foundation, subterranean termites are denied entry and forced to seek other food sources or starve. Coupled with the newer foam and borate technologies, conventional treatments can provide years of protection against subterranean termite infestations. Termite Baiting Systems A termite baiting system offers an alternative to the conventional liquid treatment. This treatment involves positioning baiting stations (also known as monitoring stations) in the soil around a structure's exterior perimeter. Once the stations are installed they are monitored on a monthly or quarterly basis (depending upon whether the treatment is curative or preventive) by Barnes representatives. Tent Fumigation is a wood-penetrating gas fumigant released into a structure wrapped and sealed with specially designed tarps. Regardless of the type of existing infestation, rest assured that Barnes will have licensed professionals with specialized instruments to provide the tailored dosage for drywood termites or powder post beetle infestations. At Barnes, we make every effort in leaving your home or business just the way you left it... minus the bugs, of course. Tent fumigation is only available in parts of Florida.
