MORE THAN WHAT YOU SEE
The Termites You See May Not Be the Whole Problem.
Termites can travel underground and enter a structure in multiple locations. Visible activity may not represent the only area where termites are present. Pestora begins with an inspection, addresses active locations directly when appropriate, and then develops a treatment plan around the structure and its construction.
Termites may remain hidden before obvious signs appear.
South Carolina Treatment Standards
Pestora performs termite treatments according to applicable South Carolina treatment standards, registered product labels, and the construction of the structure.

We treat crawlspaces, supported slabs, garages, porches and more. The method adapts to the home’s construction.
How a Liquid Termite Treatment Protects Your Home
1
Exterior: Trench & Treat
Where appropriate, a narrow trench is created beside applicable foundation areas and treated according to the selected termite treatment system.
2
Slab: Drill & Treat
Applicable slab areas and potential termite entry points may require drilling and treatment according to the structure and treatment plan.
3
Crawlspace: Foundation Protection
Crawlspace treatment may involve foundation walls, piers, supports, soil areas, and other potential entry locations depending on construction.

The Pestora Termite Treatment Process
01 Inspect
Perform a thorough inspection to identify visible activity, construction type, and potential entry areas.
02 Treat Active Areas
When active termites are found, Pestora may use an appropriate direct treatment such as targeted liquid treatment, foam, or Actisol application.
03 Establish Protection
Perform the selected whole-structure treatment according to construction, treatment method, and applicable standards.
04 Complete & Restore
Remove accessible termite shelter tubes where appropriate and patch treatment drill holes.
05 Bond & Inspect Annually
Issue the termite bond and return for the scheduled annual inspection according to the agreement.
When Active Termites Are in Accessible Wood
Pestora does not automatically treat every piece of crawlspace wood. When active termite activity is found in accessible wood, an appropriate direct treatment may be used where warranted.
- Targeted liquid application
- Foam treatment
- Actisol application
- Borate treatment such as Bora-Care where appropriate
The selected method depends on activity, accessibility, construction, and the treatment plan. Not every termite treatment includes a borate application.
