Environmental Pest Control Conducive Conditions

Environmental Security Pest Control provides an integrated pest management approach that beings with a home inspection. During this inspection we identify "conducive conditions" that can cause pest control problems currently, and in the future.

It is critical to examine your property for environmental conditions, structural elements and property limitations to alleviate future pest problems and ensure Environment Security Pest Control technicians deliver the best service possible.

Examples of Conducive Conditions:

  • Wood to Ground Contact. Evidence proves termites like wood. Many termites live in the ground. When wood comes in contact with the soil it is much easier for termites to infest that wood. Wood in the ground is exposed to decomposing fungi that attracts termites and damages wood itself. If that wood is important to you, you must protect it. Environmental Security will reveal those typically hazardous installations of wood in and around our homes to help you identify and protect yours.

  • Excessive Moisture. Construction techniques and materials are designed to keep your house water resistant, but often their installation affects the maintenance of the structure. Just 16% moisture in wood content will promote fungal growth. Fungi and the metabolic gases from the decomposition of cellulose material in your construction attracts termites and other pest to your home. Excessive moisture is not an illusive concept. The illusive part is identifing the source of the moisture in a moisture laden environment like Florida. Environmental Security Pest Control will help you explore these concepts to the fullest so you may understand how to protect your home better and the extended value of a pest control professional.

  • Types of Construction. Your home's foundation type is important to understand for the inspection, treatment, and prevention of pests like subterranean termites.  Different types of buildings have space in between walls, floors, foundation, and attic that can harbor pests. Environmental Security Pest Control considers construction material and design elements to help you exend the value of a pest control professional. Some types of construction that create conducive conditions include:

    • Monolithic

    • Concrete block perimeter (supported or floating)

    • Off-grade (crawl space)

    • Piling

    • Basement
