Mold Prevention

DA Exterminating wants those affected by recent flooding to know that we are here to help with pest control and mold prevention.

According to Dr. Mike Strain, commissioner of La. Department of Agriculture & Forestry: “If your community floods and soil around your home or business washes away, you will need to retreat that area because the termiticide barrier may no longer exist. If you have a termite contract, you should contact your pest control company for an inspection.” Strain also said that property owners should be mindful of pests such as rodents that will be trying to get away from floodwaters and looking for food.

Mold is also a huge problem due to flooding. DA Exterminating can make preventive treatments with a very effective Bora-Care with Mold Care product.

Bora-Care Mold Prevention with Mold-Care

If your home or business has been damaged by floodwaters, DA Exterminating can apply Bora-Care with Mold-Care to all affected structural wood once the building is gutted and the wall coverings and wet insulation are removed. This prevents mold from developing. The wood does not have to be dried prior to treatment. Wood decay and mold can begin to grow almost immediately. By applying Mold-Care, the moisture levels in the wood are lowered, eliminating the ability of mold and decay fungi to live or develop.

Mold-Care is a leading weapon against mold. It acts as a surface-protectant, killing all forms of fungi, sanitizing and disinfecting the treated area. Bora-Care is the leading borate-based wood preservative, rendering treated wood impervious to termites and other wood-destroying insects, as well as wood decay fungi. It diffuses into the wood where it remains for the life of the wood, providing residual protection. When used together, they create a highly effective solution to control insects and prevent mold.
