on the
inspection?
» The inspection takes at least an hour, and you should attend so the inspector can show and explain problems to you that might be harder to understand if the only info you got was from the written report.
Fortunately modern termiticides like Termidor and Premise aren't nearly as toxic to people and waterways as the older ones used through the 90's were. (The MSDS for Premise [PDF] says amount required to kill animals is so high it's "practically non-toxic".) Still, many people understandably still want to avoid chemicals or at least choose companies that will apply the minimum amount necessary, rather than just coming in and spraying willy-nilly. In California, try Ecola Services, and in Austin try Term-Trol Exterminating (512-836-3309) whom I've used on a couple of houses. I advise against Chem-Free Organic in Austin, since despite their eco-sounding name, they're really just ABC Pest Control with another set of letterhead and another Yellow Pages listing. You call ChemFree, and the ABC Pest Control truck shows up, and the methods and chemicals are no different than if you'd called ABC's number, as I found out when I called "Chem-Free". . |
