Termite Control
Hume & Company & Company specializes in advanced termite control using Termidor, a non-repellent termiticide. Our methods eliminate colonies through ingestion and contact, ensuring long-term protection. Services include localized treatments, fumigation, and preventive barriers for residential and commercial properties.
Eco-Friendly Treatments
Our eco-friendly treatments minimize environmental impact while eradicating termites. Termidor technology and borate-based solutions target pests without harming ecosystems. These methods protect structures and families with low-toxicity, sustainable practices tailored to Southern Californias climate.
Fumigation Services
For severe infestations, we use Vikane gas fumigation to eliminate drywood termites. This odorless, residue-free treatment penetrates all wood structures, ensuring complete eradication. Post-fumigation cleanup includes sodium borate application to prevent future infestations.
Pre-Treatment Solutions
Hume & Company & Company offers pre-treatments for new constructions, including soil barriers and borate wood treatments. These solutions create long-term protection against subterranean and drywood termites, backed by 10-year warranties for residential properties.
Wood Rot Repair
We repair termite and dry rot damage using borate rod treatments and preservatives. Our upgrades, like attic vent screens and borate-treated wood, reinforce vulnerable areas. Services restore structural integrity while preventing future decay in high-risk zones.
Questions
What are the signs of a termite infestation?
Common signs include mud tubes near foundations, hollow-sounding wood, termite droppings, swarming winged termites, and blistered or damaged wood flooring.
How does Termidor work to eliminate termites?
Termidor kills termites through ingestion and contact. Termites unknowingly transfer the product to others, creating a 'Transfer Effect' that eliminates entire colonies within three months.
Is fumigation safe for my home and family?
Yes. Vikane gas fumigation leaves no residue, odor, or film. Post-treatment aeration ensures safety, and food and belongings remain unaffected if properly sealed.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, and Poway, providing localized expertise for Southern California’s termite challenges.
Do you offer warranties for termite treatments?
Yes. We provide a 12-month warranty on localized treatments and 10-year warranties for pre-treatments, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind.
How can I prevent future termite infestations?
Preventive measures include annual inspections, fixing moisture issues, removing wood-to-ground contact, and applying borate treatments or Termidor soil barriers.
