[Living a Fantasy]

We discovered that we had siigns of drywood termites and called Massey and Dean. Orkin Pest Control had the best logical explanation, price, and technicians. Others tried to oversell us using scare tactics. It seems that the best termites to invite into your home are these. Usually come in with furniture (in our case --- a Murphy Bed purchased 8 years ago). These critters move very slowly unlike the subterrain ones that can eat you out of your home very quickly. Nevertheless Orkin recommended and treated our problem with a safe foam chemical that was injected around each door and window in the house as well as in potential wet spots (like the drain of a bath tub). They installed an access panel in a closet for the bathtub drain. The above was for the drywood termites.

There were no signs of the deadly subterranean breed. Nevertheless, they treated that as a preventative measure because we do have a large oak tree which can attract these critters. For this, they inserted and injected a chemical every 12" around the perimeter of the foundation. In addition, they installed Sentricon bait traps outside the house every 10 feet around the perimeter and three feet out. they also sprayed exposed wood in the attic.

$1,600 for everything just described . Could not be happier.

Am not connected with Orkin in any way whatsoever; don't want or get any kind of referral fee; simply want to share our good experience with others here in the community.
