When bidding a service one must fully explain every detail of what you need to do and why its the best method to accomplish the desired result.you must define the problem,offer solution,describe the benefits of said solution and then you must qualify your company as the best choice ,ask for the order and get the payment

Use a back end of a screwdriver to tap the wood no way you can damage healthy wood

Inspection shouldn't damage anything

this was very informative

Sure, but it costs $6000 to 9000 for fumigation here in the south so I can imagine the cost in California.

They are not complicated.at all

Spiders catch mosquitos right?

How did you know to say THOSE words!? The specific words necessary to prevent the delusion I was cooking up for myself from getting warm? It barely even started cooking and you got me. So we’re sure they won’t leave me alone out of respect???? lol stranger things have happened with critter respect & our mutual understandings. How dare you ruin my delulu ugh I’m way too freaked out to look closely at anything

You guys are full of Baloney!!! I'm a carpenter, and find live termites quite often.. have used commercial termite spray and in a pinch tried Orange oil... the orange oil killed the live termites almost immediatly

Bait stations are a joke you probably still have termites

Do not have bait this is a joke

Borate is only as prevention

We are not killing colonies that is a joke

Thank you Ryan Garcia

Very informative! I hope they service my area.

Thank you for this video, good content that created a lot of good and informative conversations below.

BS

how much is it?

What stake do you use to secure the station?

That trick question got me to burst out laughing

This is really good advice !well done. Thank you for the info.

The chemical treatment works. Baits do not.

I have a wooden leg and learned that it had a termite infestation using the valuable information in this video. Thank you!

Do you test also in the attic?

Maybe you can do a video on how the EPA is, by definition, a rent seeking government agent.

U are payed and a Liar

Oh look it’s the circus

This may be a good preventative for a home with with no termite issues or preliminary sightings or swarms. Nothing is guaranteed. I personally believe its great for the pest company because its easier to put bait stations without doing any spot treatment or trenching... But->> to treat termites, if you have seen swarms, trenching the entire perimeter of the home where available using a product like Termidor or Taurus SC, and then spot treatments inside the wall of the affected area of the house with injection by use of a product like Termidor foam is better than putting bait stations out and hoping they will leave the food in your house to go outside and eat while they may be eating your house?? lol... nip it in the bud.

When a rodent eats the poison, it does not die immediately and can carry around enough poison to kill a larger animal like an owl, Fox, cat or dog, endangering wildlife and pests. Traps do not introduce poison into the food web.

Rodent bait can kill wildlife and pests through secondary exposure which is a likely scenario. I think this is worth discussing.

How does the Vikane Termite killing gas get inside the walls and ceilings if they are totally sealed by painted and caulked surfaces and edges?

We just bought our house 3 years ago (in Florida) and I think we're REALLY screwed, because it appears there have been termites this whole time, potentially. The house itself is block, which I guess is good, but, all the interior walls are normal, plus all the wood holding up the roof. And we definitely have termites, but we just don't know yet the extent. And we just found this out AFTER the house was flooded, and damaged in multiple other ways, by Hurricane Ian. Insurance screwed us, giving us only about 10% of what we should have gotten, only $7,500. I have no idea how we're going to fix this. Anyone seeing this, just please pray for us that we'll just need to fumigate rather than tearing the rest of the house apart, replacing all the ceiling/roof wood. There's no way we could afford that. I need a miracle right now.

You were very accurate!!!

Great video

Thoes bait stations do hold 3 mouse snap traps, or one rat trap very well

👍

Is there a way to apply borates before the build of a home? Wondering out of curiosity since I plan on eventually building my home and it termites was a thought that crossed my mind so wondering if applying for rates in the beginning could perhaps helping prevent it

I don’t dare to ask but how much? We live in a 20 unit complex. Our HOA is on it but I just wanted to know we are not getting ripped off.

This poison causes them to die slowly (up to 10 days) and painfully by internal bleeding. The poison is intentionally designed to be slow so that the rodent will come back and eat more and more of it. This way by the time they get sick they've already ingested a lethal dose.

What do you recommend instead; besides hiring somebody?

Where's he going?

I told my termites to leave, but they just gave me the finger.

Orange oil is a mild solvent and therefore nothing more than a mild irritant. It's non-carcinogenic and perfectly fine. For example, you wouldn't spray orange juice into your eye as that might sting but that doesn't make it unsafe to drink. This is truly a misleading video. It's like saying to do the same with vinegar... I mean duh, nobody advocates lathering acid on yourself but most people feel comfortable handling vinegar. Also, let's see the Safety Data Sheets for the chemicals being used by this company, for only then can we yield a fair comparison. I suspect that's counterproductive to profits, though. Inhaling practically any vapor in large quantities can be harmful. Orange oil is just that: orange oil. If you're that scared, don't eat or smell an orange ever again. I won't speak to its efficacy on contact treatment for termites, but I can attest to its efficacy as a contact killer for ants. In short this video is clearly done to fearmonger and stir you away from competitors or DIYers, only using loose evidence when convenient for the narrative they set out to claim. Quite clearly disingenuous.

Someone answer a question I've thought of for a while. If you spray around the base of your home, what's actually going to kill the termites? I mean they spread by flying in the spring to your house. They don't land on your lawn, they fly onto your walls and then find cracks to enter your home. So what is the point of base spraying your home?

But do they work though ? 🤣

What you got against bugs? You guys are the real pests.

what happens to the rats once they eat the bait? how long it takes for them to die? what happen if another animal eat the dead rat?

I dont buy anything thats being sold to me unsolicited. Period.

Great, detailed video. Thank you for explaining.
