If you notice wood damage within or near your home, you may be in the midst of a termite infestation.

Most times, you can't tell whether or not you have an infestation until the damage has become significant. Termites are mostly small and great at hiding inside food sources or tunnels in the ground. They survive by consuming the cellulose in wood and wood-based products.

Termidor: Termite Protection 

Brown Exterminator Co. uses Termidor for effective and reliable termite elimination. This high-efficiency termiticide is known to be an efficient termite defense system because it uses the most advanced technology to spread through the soil to prevent termite infiltration.

Using Termidor means less trenching and drilling on your property. For our team, less labor and equipment are needed because Termidor provides reliable protection as soon as it is applied. Because of its delayed effect, termites typically pick up and distribute the solution to their colony, which then destroys their colonies and prevents future infestation.

Brown Exterminating Co. can apply Termidor to your property to eliminate your termite infestation. Call us today at 800-892-6207.
