About Orange Oil Termite Control
and D-limonene Based Products
|
|
Orange
oil products contain the active ingredient
d-limonene. D-limonene is extracted from
the rinds of oranges, and it's the same chemical
found in many household products. Due to d-limonene's low
toxicity, it has become the preferred termite control method
for many home owners and industries. Orange oil is
also used in the manufacturing of resins, cleaning
compounds, and as a fragrance additive in many products. |

Get an Honest Opinion
At Bug Central, our trained inspectors can
determine the extent of your infestation and give you an
honest evaluation of how effective a "no move out" termite
control process will be for your home or structure.
D-limonene based termite and pest control products are not
considered an alternative to tenting as the two processes
are completely different and offer different pros and cons.
We want to offer our customers all the facts and explain the
pros and cons of all termite treatment options so that you
can make an educated decision when selecting your control
method. Because we offer "no move out" treatments and tent
fumigation, we can give you an unbiased
opinion regarding your specific termite control needs.
Beware of companies that are only trying to sell you on one
treatment option. No infestation is the same and no
single treatment method can handle every type of termite
infestation. |

Treatment Methods
D-limonene can be used to
treat most areas of a structure. Areas once considered inaccessible become
visible through the use of fiber optic scopes. When there is
a reason to believe termite infestation extends into
inaccessible areas such as wall voids, a small hole can be
made to look inside. Once the extent of the termite
infestations is known, treatments can be made to control
the termites. Once injected into the termite galleries, the d-limonene kills termites and their eggs. Termites
not directly hit with the product will die if they eat any
wood recently treated. Because d-limonene based products will
biodegrade in a short time, we recommend using a low
toxic residual chemical like Bora-Care® for long lasting
protection.
