Don’t Set Out The Welcome Mat for Unwelcome Guests: Natural Treatment for Termites

Generally, no pest is welcome in your home, but one of the most obtrusive and potentially destructive pests to your property are termites.  Termites mostly feed on dead plant material and love to digest wood, causing severe structural damage to homes.  In the wild, they are important to the eco system as they recycle plant matter, but in a home, they are a very unwelcome guest.

When it comes to killing off pests in the home, we are always in favor of using natural methods. Green methods are nontoxic, and the environment is safe for everyone.

Termites are one of the hardest pests to eradicate because the extermination process has a number of drawbacks for the homeowner, including having to shut off the utilities and temporarily moving out. Alternatively, treating a termite problem with XT-2000 Orange oil provides three outstanding benefits.

Treatment is Highly Effective

In some termite treatments, when harsh chemicals are used, the problem is not completely rectified. The pests often reappear, and multiple treatments are needed. Orange oil, on the other hand, is 100 percent effective the first time it’s applied.

This essential oil kills termites on contact because it destroys their respiratory tracts. The oil is absorbed quickly through a wooden surface immediately upon being injected, and the oil soaks into all of the cells of the wood, making it possible to treat large areas without much effort.

No Inconvenience to the Homeowner

Many exterminators require that residents temporarily move out of their homes and shut off their utilities. People can’t stay in their homes during the extermination process because the treatments are too hazardous. When termites are exterminated using orange oil, individuals aren’t required to move out of their houses. The fact that it’s not necessary to move out helps customers to save on renting hotel rooms. Also, homeowners don’t have to deal with the hassles of turning their utilities back on.

Will Not Affect Health in a Negative Way

A lot of chemicals in termite treatment can negatively affect a person’s health. People who struggle with chemical sensitivities and who suffer from respiratory problems can’t be exposed to pest extermination substances. Because orange oil is all natural, studies show people can be exposed to it without suffering from any ill effects.

Do you suspect you may have a termite problem?  Homeowners who want to exterminate termites the natural way should research companies that offer such a service to make sure that the companies that they consult have a similar process, such as the one found at www.planetorange.com, which is 100 percent free of any unnatural substances.
