What about Orange Oil?
One of the most common questions our customers ask is about orange oil treatment for termites. Orange oil treatment has been heavily marketed by a few companies for about the last 10 years or so. Some of the claims made have stretched the effectiveness of the orange oil product.
Fumigation Preparation
Preparation often includes the following: trim plants, trees, hedges, ground cover, and other growth 12 inches away from building; remove all potted and indoor plants including any plants under the roof overhang and patio cover; remove TV antennas; detach drain pipes and fences; remove any loose ground cover (bark, gravel, ivy, etc).
When to Fumigate
Millions of homeowners battle termite infestations every year, and many of their homes are tented and treated by whole-structure fumigation with Vikane gas fumigant. In order to advise you as to what is best in your case we would have to perform at least a limited termite inspection of your home. If you have not had a complete inspection in a few years a full termite inspection is advised.
