FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What does XT-2000
Orange Oil smell like?
A: Oranges, plain and simple.
Q: How long do I smell the oranges?
A: Typically 4 to 5 days.
Q: Is XT-2000 Orange
Oil a primary treatment?
A: Yes, as long as you chose to warranty your
house with XT-2000 Orange Oil. A
primary treatment is when your whole structure is under warranty. A secondary
treatment only warranties the treated areas, not the whole structure.
Make sure to ask you XT-2000 Orange Oil Specialist for a whole home warranty!
Q: Once the termites
are located, how does XT-2000 Orange Oil kill termites?
A: With the drill and treat method, a technician
will apply enough XT-2000 Orange Oil to saturate the infested wood member.
Once saturated the orange oil will wick through the wood, getting to
all of those hard to reach areas. And once XT-2000 Orange Oil comes into
contact with termites, its lights out!
Q: How does XT-2000
Orange Oil work compared to fumigation?
A: The capillary action of XT-2000 Orange Oil
works in many ways like fumigation, but without the same risks! Orange
Oil moves through wood like a gas, along the path of least resistance,
filling up the treated piece of wood until the termites have no place
to hide. Unlike fumigation, XT-2000 Orange Oil treatments are specifically
targeted to the area of infestation, so you don’t need to move out.
Q: How do you find everything?
A: Integrated Pest Management, like all treatments,
requires a thorough inspection. Drywood termites cannot hide from a complete
inspection. An inspector with basic knowledge of termite entomology will
be able to determine all of the possible areas of infestation. Even when
the infestation is occurring in an inaccessible area, such as a wall
void, with the right tools no termite can stay hidden.
Q: How can drill and
treat methods be effective if you do not apply XT-2000 Orange Oil to
every piece of wood in my house?
A: If there is no evidence of infestation, then
the piece of wood is free and clear of termites. There is no need to
treat every board, only the infested ones.
Q: Is XT-2000 Orange
Oil flammable?
A: XT-2000 Orange Oil is categorized as combustible.
A combustible product has a higher flash point than products labeled
as flammable, so they are not as much of a fire hazard as a flammable
product. Many household products are also categorized as combustible,
such as some dishwashing liquids and furniture polish.
