MY BUILDER SAYS THEY ALREADY DO THIS?
Creed Pest Control is one of the only authorized Bora-Care applicators in Story County, and in central Iowa. If your builder says they do these treatments as them if it is a Bora-Care Treatment or a soil treatment. If it is a soil treatment insist they call us to have the job done right with a Bora-Care treatment. While soil treatments have been proven effective, they only last a few years as the earth naturally brakes down the chemicals used to prevent termites. Additionally a proper soil treatment requires hundreds of gallons of chemicals be injected into the soil around your home and I would guess that is something you really don't want. Our Bora-Care treatment is applied directly to the wooden structures of your home and protects it for up to 30 years!
