Homeowners today are recognizing the need to take proactive steps to prevent termite damage, rather than reactive ones once they have an active infestation with costly damage repairs.

     Dr. Ken Brown, Principal Research Entomologist and Ed Freytag Senior Research Entomologist, City of New Orleans Termite Control Board say “the best option for termite control is prevention.” Dr. Mike Potter, Professor and Extension Entomologist with the University of Kentucky states “The best answer for a homeowner who asks how do I keep termites out of my house, is to pay a pest management firm to have the house treated preventively.”

     Your family’s well being comes first when deciding what’s best for your home, and you get that with Black Pest Prevention. We combine effective, affordable termite protection and monitoring techniques that render a more responsive, yet highly effective solution.

     Black Pest’s exclusive PreventionPLUS™ Service incorporates all three of the basic termite treatments available today for a true multi-layered approach.

     The first treatment is known as a Termite Bait System. This approach involves installing termite bait stations around the exterior perimeter of your home. The stations are monitored on a quarterly basis and upon finding termites in a station a bait cartridge is placed inside of the station which is fed upon by termites destroying the colony attacking your home.

     The second treatment is known as a Liquid Barrier Treatment. This involves trenching the exterior around your foundation walls and placing a liquid non-repellent treatment into the ground. Termites do not know they have contacted the treatment because it is non-repellent and return to the colony transferring the product to the rest of the colony attacking your home and destroying it.

     The third treatment is known as a borate wood treatment. This involves applying borates to the inside foundation wall in your home’s crawl space. Borates block the termite’s ability to derive nourishment from the food it eats. In other words, as termites ingest borates, their ability to convert food to energy is obstructed. And they starve to death. And so does the entire colony attacking your home, as termites are social insects that share food.

     The PLUS in PreventionPLUS™ means you also receive our Integrated Pest Prevention Service to protect your family from over 40 different insects. We will perform an extensive Pest Prevention initial service inside and out, follow up automatically one month later and then monitor and treat the exterior on a quarterly basis. It is effective; prevents pest entry by focusing outside where pests live and breed. It’s convenient, because you don’t have to be home; no interruptions to your schedule or lifestyle.

     Our PreventionPLUS™ Service is backed with a comprehensive, no nonsense $1,000,000.00 repair and re-treatment guarantee. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with Black Pest’s termite treatment, we’ll keep coming back, at no additional cost to you, until you are satisfied. In the event Black Pest is unable to correct your termite problem, we will refund your initial treatment service charge.
