Discovering that you have termites near or inside your home is a wakeup call you can’t ignore. All homes in the Valley are built with termite barriers, but after they lose their effectiveness, these hungry insects can easily enter your home and do extreme damage. The sooner you establish a treatment program, the safer your home will be. And you really only have one option – call the professionals at Budget Brothers Termite & Pest.
The two types of termites in the Phoenix area include the subterranean termite and the drywood termite. The former crawl into your home from underground or raised tunnels and search for the wood. Drywood termites show up after rain, primarily during the monsoon and enter through broken window screens or cracks in the building’s walls.
While both species of termites fly, drywood termites rely on their flying skills to enter homes. Once established, both drywood and subterranean termites drop their wings.
Both types of termites eat wood and cellulose, but their similarities end there. The best termite treatment for the drywood termites is access to the interior of the termite galleries, which are the pathways termites eat through the wood. Identifying where they are and reaching these galleries takes specialized tools and experience. At Budget Brothers, we use specialized equipment to assess their locations and apply the insecticides. Once finished, we seal the exterior holes.
The best termite treatment for subterranean termites is much more straightforward. Even when they invade your walls, they head back to their underground nest for moisture. At Budget Brothers Termite & Pest Elimination we apply termiticide around the perimeter of your home, treat all garage walls, treat all plumbing lines and foam all active infestations to ensure the most effective treatment.
The cost of doing this yourself does not outweigh the benefit. While you can find termite treatment products at home improvement and hardware stores, they may not stock the most effective or safest treatments available. There is also a learning curve associated with site or property preparation and application of the treatments, especially with drywood termites.
The professionals at Budget Brothers Termite & Pest have access to materials that the public does not. These materials are much more effective than what most consumers can purchase at a home improvement store. Considering how difficult termite treatment is and the severe damage the bugs do to your home, spending a bit more for professional termite treatment saves money in the long run.
Budget Brothers provides the best termite treatment at affordable rates with a one-year renewable warranty. We use a termite treatment that the EPA has designated as a Reduced Risk Termiticide. This product is fully effective for five years. This product, Dupont Altriset, prevents termite invasions and will eliminate an existing colony. It stops termite feeding shortly after contact, isn’t detectable by termites, and is safe for human and pet exposure.
If you want to permanently eradicate termites from your home, call the experts at Budget Brothers Termite & Pest.
