Got a Termite Problem?

As a homeowner, there are a lot of things that have probably crossed your mind to be concerned about or get preventive maintenance for. Unfortunately, once the home inspection has long passed, termite prevention probably isn’t of the highest priorities. After all, the inspector didn’t find any termites 6 years ago when you bought the place, so surely you’re still in the clear, right?


Picture this Scenario
It’s too cold to do much outside, so you decide to finally tackle that home improvement task you’ve been putting off to paint your bedroom. You’ve picked out the color, acquired all the items necessary to complete the job, all that’s left to do is move your furnishings to one side of the room and get started.

In the midst of moving your dresser, you accidentally knock a hole in the wall – oops! Good thing you’re a hard-knock expert at small wall repairs! Moving along, because you’ll fix the hole after you finish painting the first wall, you begin prepping. As you’re laying the last of the paint tape and plastic down and cracking open that fresh can of beautiful sea foam green color you picked out, something flitters past your face. You don’t think much of it, swatting it away, and dip your roller into the freshly poured paint.

As you take the first swipe with the roller, something else flits across your face and you swat again. This time, whatever it was lands in that freshly rolled paint… a flying ant?! Uhhh… A flash of fear washes over you as your thoughts collect and reality sets in. You slowly turn around to gawk at that hole in the wall. To your dismay – those ‘flying ants’ aren’t actually flying ants at all… but termites awakening from their colony tucked behind the wall you just knocked a hole into!

Oh. My. Goodness! Your first instinct is to set the house on fire, but that seems a bit irrational, doesn’t it? They’re just termites… living inside your walls… eating away at the wood holding your home together. Maybe you’ll just patch that hole up and pretend like it never even happened. But that’s not going to solve the problem is it? That’s just putting a cover over a problem so you can pretend like it’s not there. Obviously ignoring the problem isn’t going to make it go away. So, what do you do?

The answer is simple. You’re going to call a certified termite expert. You’re going to call A B Pest Control & Insulation!

Call A B Pest Control – the Certified Termidor® Experts
A B Pest Control & Insulation is a certified Termidor® expert who can help eliminate your termite infestation. They’ve been hiding out in your home going undetected for so long, and it’s time to fight back with the same tactic. Termites can’t avoid what they can’t detect. Termidor is an advanced undetectable liquid technology. That means termites cannot see, smell, taste, or avoid it. Instead, they contact, ingest and share Termidor, completely unaware that doing so inevitably will kill them.

Termidor eliminates termites in several ways. When termites eat Termidor-treated material, they will die. But Termidor doesn’t stop there. It eliminates termites by contact as well. And since termites can’t detect its presence, termites can directly ingest and contact Termidor as they go about their normal routines.

The Termidor “Transfer Effect™”
Whenever a termite ingests or touches Termidor, it can become a “carrier,” transferring Termidor to other termites it contacts. These termites, in turn, can become secondary carriers, behaving normally while they transfer Termidor to other termites they contact—and so on within the colony. Because Termidor is slow-acting, it gives individual termites ample time to transfer it to others in the population. This unique, spiraling process is called the “Transfer Effect,” and its devastating results maximize the protection of your structure.
