► Found termites in your property in New York NY? |
|
 |
In brief, if you are a home owner in New York NY, we recommend you obtain the services of a termite control company in New York NY that uses the safer, more effective termite control products, such as Phantom and Sentricon - discussed in detail in this website. |
 |
In certain circumstances, where Phantom cannot be used to achieve a complete termite protective soil treatment, we recommend the Sentricon termite baiting system be used. You'll find details on various termite control products and methods in the Termite Control section of this web-site. |

►Termites infest New York NY homes - will Yours be next? |
|
On the basis of recent experience, a significant number of homes in New York NY 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.
|
Phantom is used for soil treatment at the base of a building to prevent subterranean termite entry into the building and by a delayed transfer effect can eliminate termites in other areas inside and surrounding the building. |
|
|
| Phantom works differently from other soil treatment products. Most other such termiticides are repellents, which means they keep termites away from a treated soil area. This means any gap in the treated soil zone can be easily detected by the termites, to enable their unrestricted entry into the building. |
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. |
