Derived from orange peels, this potent solution serves as a natural deterrent, effectively combating termites without compromising the environment or the safety of your home.
License-To-Kill Termite And Pest Control uses orange oil to treat drywood termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles. Orange oil is not effective against subterranean termites. Orange oil is an extract of orange rinds used in many cleaning solutions and food additives. The active ingredient in orange oil-based termite treatments is D-limonene. Orange oil kills termites on contact by breaking down their exoskeletons and destroying their eggs. While orange oil is considered a low-toxicity treatment, it is not harmless; it should not be ingested, and exposure to the oil or strong fumes can irritate the skin and eyes. Those with allergy sensitivities may experience lung irritation and other symptoms with exposure. Improper applications of orange oil have even started fires as the product is flammable once wicked into wood!

Orange oil is the most common no-tent, no-move-out organic termite control solution. Quality orange oil treatments start with a quality inspection using high-tech optical scopes to determine the extent of the infestation. A branch 3 licensed pest control technician will search wall voids and other inaccessible areas suspected of pest activity using a borescopes to identify areas with termite activity. A borescope is an optical viewing device similar to the cameras used in medical procedures to give doctors a clear view of what is happening inside the body. Instead of looking inside a body, we are looking inside your walls to identify all the areas of termite infestation and treat them with laser-like precision. Call (619) 447-8216 to learn more today!
Once all areas of termite activity have been identified, we precisely drill and treat the infested wood members. We use specially designed tools to treat most areas of the structure, including attics, wall voids, etc. Orange oil is injected into the drilled holes, spreading throughout the wood beams, killing termites and termite eggs on contact. Orange oil can wick through wood via capillary action, traveling through the porous cells in all directions. After treatment, holes are patched and painted; the only evidence left behind is the sweet smell of oranges.
