 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. |

Treatment Method
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. |
If traditional
chemical application is out of of the question,
Orange Oil can control your drywood termite
infestations and keep your home protected from the
extensive damage that an untreated infestation can
cause.
