Anchor Pest Control serving Pensacola, Mobile, Alabama to Ft. Walton Beach, Florida

Builders who focus on quality know it's not just the finished product or what you can see that makes a quality structure. It also includes the planning, the foundation, the materials, the attention to detail, and their ability to bring it all together that makes a sound structure. Part of that process is their attention to detail. An important detail is the selection of an effective termite treatment to protect the structure.

Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Bob Crawford stated in an August 1999 press release that:

"New home buyers should be certain to ask builders how their homes have been protected against termites. For new construction, it is the builder that selects the pre-treatment company. Some builders select their soil treatment contractors based solely on price and there is a temptation for these companies to under price and then cheat on the amount of chemical protectant used. Consumers should demand that their builders use companies that will do the job right and make certain they have a full warranty covering any re-treatments and repairs should they be needed."

Quality builders know that they can trust the experience and knowledge of Anchor Pest Control when it comes to termite pre-treating of their construction projects. Whether it is a single-family home to the largest of commercial buildings, they know that Anchor will do it right. Anchor Pest Control has earned a superb reputation for their pre-treatment processes of new construction.  Here are the steps to a proper soil pre-treatment:

• Treat the soil before the foundation is poured.
• Treat any areas where concrete will abut the initial treated area. For example: Porches, Patios, A/C pads and driveways etc.
• To do a Final Application once the final landscaping and grading are in place.

In addition to chemical pre-treats Anchor Pest Control also provides the BORA-CARE treatment to the wood during construction.  Here are the things you should know:

1. Builders are saving a full day of cycle time by switching to BORA-CARE pre-treats.  BORA-CARE eliminates the need to coordinate schedules with cement companies and pest management professionals.  BORA-CARE can be applied at any time during the dried-in phase of construction.  See how our product is used by one of the best home builders on the Gulf Coast.
3. BORA-CARE eliminates weather delays.  Traditional soil treatments require application to dry ground after footers are dug.  BORA-CARE is applied directly to the wood in a two-foot barrier on the walls, subfloor, sill plates and piers.

5. BORA-CARE eliminates the need for crews to leave the job site.  In traditional soil pre-treatments, workers are required by law to leave the site during application and stay away until the application is completed.  With BORA-CARE your crew can keep right on working.

7. HUD’S change in policy provides alternatives to builders. In January 1999, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) changed its 99-A form to allow direct wood pre-treatment of BORA-CARE as a primary tool against termites in new home construction.

Efficacy tests show proven results.  Over a ten-year period, research from an ongoing study at the Harrison Experimental Forest and Mississippi State University’s Forest Products Laboratory proved wood treated with BORA-CARE repelled termite attacks and prevented subterranean termites from tubing over wood.
