| Do you Just Want Your Termites Gone? Or Gone for Good? |
Even the most widely advertised liquid applied termite control chemicals come up short when it comes to the extent of their effect on a termite colony. Sure, they can kill the termites that are in your home now, and a lot of the termites in the ground under it, but they haven't been demonstrated to eliminate entire termite colonies in the ground where they originate. There is not one published peer reviewed scientific paper demonstrating colony elimination of our economically important local termite species with any liquid applied termite control product on the market today. In fact the performance claims on the registered product labels for these liquid chemicals (claims which have to be supported by trial data for review and approval by leading, independent scientists) make no claim whatsoever regarding colony Elimination. |
| Anything Less than 100% Total Colony Elimination isn't 'Gone for Good' |
Under careful controlled conditions designed to simulate what occurs when these liquid chemicals are applied around your home, one independent scientific study' concluded that one of the most widely advestise termite control chemicals killed only 25% of the workers termites - the type of termite colony member respobsible for all the damage to homes.
Another independent scientific study involving another widely advertised liquid applied termite control chemical conducted that it had little, if any, effect on termite colonies.

| Treat Termites at their Source and Finish Them Off. For good. |
When it comes to termite control, we believe there is only one gold standard. Total termite colony elimination, backed up by several peer-reviewed scientific papers, that prove Exterra eliminates the entire termite colony. |
