My name is Bart Bruni, owner and founder of Bestec Exterminators Inc., in South Florida a full service company. I created the first treatment specifications, and the first termite fumigation alternative contract approved by the USDA, that was in 1990. At that time we had the one and only tenting alternative. It was protected for two years. Since then, most all termite companies have knock-off services available in some form or another. Our company has provied thousands of residenial, commerical, and industral property owners correction from Drywood termite infesations and pervention.

The key to choosing a good tenting alternative program is that the company you choose must have Hi-Tec detection methods, the proper choice of material, and aggressive follow up inspections, twice per year minimum (borates that do not posess penitrating quailty would not be a good choice). Although the experienced eye of a termite inspector, and a brite flash lite can reveal a lot of information it is not enough. Inspection with infrared scaners, microwave movement detectors and/or certified termite K-9's are necessary.

Do not be fooled by spot treatment agreements posing to be truly fumigation alteratives. If you need accurate information about this subject, please contact me at the above E-Mail address or visit our web site at bestecexterminators.com.
