How to Kill Insects Deep Within Wood

If the wood decks and fences that surround your home display termite damage, an aggressive treatment program is essential to prevent the infestation from spreading to your home. Typical wood sealants are simply coatings that sit on top of wood surfaces. It’s vital to start with a product that is both a sealant and a penetrant.

With one lifetime treatment, Petriwood preservation system penetrates DEEP to seal wood, kill insects and trigger wood petrification. You can literally see this exclusive formula leeching into wood and traveling through capillaries. The product is designed to eliminate splitting, cupping, checking and wood expansion by preventing water absorption. The absence of water equals the absence of all fungal and insect issues.

Total penetration of wood, stone and concrete is achieved while delivering a lethal dose of specially modified cedar oil to the termite or ant species living inside or below the material surface.

The other is an organic treatment for grass, trees, gardens and shrubs. It’s specifically formulated to kill insects outdoors without harming vegetation. You may spray it on trees infested by termites or soak mulch beds that harbor a variety of insects.

In the world of termite control, there are instances where you’ll need effective bait to attract termites and instances where you’ll need pesticides to kill or repel termites. For filling trenches around homes and trees, a good bait containing boric acid is indispensible, but remember that it can kill plants. For soaking plants, mulch beds and other landscaping materials, a strong organic pesticide is vital. Old and decaying mulch can become a highly sustainable food source for termites. To recharge the pesticide properties of old cedar mulch, soak it with our concentrated cedar oil solution.
