Termite Control
Black Flag offers comprehensive termite control using advanced methods like Termidor and Bora Care. Our treatments target both drywood and subterranean termites, ensuring complete eradication. Services include inspections, eco-friendly chemical applications, and long-term prevention plans tailored to residential and commercial properties.
Bora Care Treatment
Bora Care penetrates wood to provide lifelong protection against termites and decay. This low-toxicity solution uses borate to kill pests and prevent infestations. Ideal for attics, crawl spaces, and structural wood, its safe for families and requires no overnight relocation during application.
Orange Oil Application
Orange Oil (XT-2000) uses citric acid from citrus peels to eliminate drywood termites. Injected directly into infested wood, it kills termites and eggs on contact. Safe for humans and pets, it leaves a fresh scent and requires no harsh chemical residues.
Termidor Soil Treatment
Termidor creates a non-repellent barrier in soil to stop subterranean termites. Its transfer effect spreads the solution between termites, eradicating entire colonies. Applied at low doses, its odorless, EPA-registered, and effective for long-term prevention.
Vikane Fumigation
Vikane gas fumigation eliminates all drywood termites in a structure. It leaves no residue or odor, allowing immediate reoccupation. EPA-recognized for environmental safety, this method penetrates wood thoroughly and is ideal for severe infestations in homes and buildings.
