Recent advances in technology has provided safer, more effective pest and termite control products now available in New York. Although safer to use in or around the home or workplace, these products are more expensive and require a far higher level of skill to achieve an effective result. |
The older style pesticides - usually solvent based with a pungent smell - are commonly used by the fly-by-night "cut-price" operators as an overall "blanket-spray" for general pests in the crawl space or subfloor area of a building. You'll find detailed consumer protection advice in the Consumer Advice section of this website, including some important tips on selecting a professional pest exterminator in Lockport . |

Termites infest Lockport homes - will Yours be next? |
On the basis of recent experience, a significant number of homes in
Lockport
will suffer a termite infestation. To make matters worse your home insurance
policy does NOT cover the damage which may involve costly replacement of
floor, wall and roofing timbers.
Fortunately, several excellent termite control products are available - Phantom can offer 100% termite protection in the majority of situations.

With Phantom, the termites cannot detect the chemical in the treated soil as it has no odor, taste or smell to the termites. They are not aware of the lethal effect of the chemical until it's too late. BASF claims that Phantom kills termites that travel through a treated soil area abutting the building, where higher concentration levels are encountered. In addition, termites exposed to the chemical in lower concentrations can transfer it onto other termites - the so called Transfer Effect. This is a very important aspect aimed at wiping out the entire colony - the ultimate form of long-term protection. Both products seem to provide more than 5 years reliable protection if applied correctly to label requirements and industry standards. Phantom and Sentricon products are ultra-low hazard to people and are discussed in detail in the Termite Control section of this website. |
