When I first moved to Southern California some 10 years ago, one of the first things which caught my attention in a weird sort of way (Before I went on Hollywood Blvd.) was when I came across a house being fumigated. It was a strange and almost shocking sight. It looked eerie and almost monstrous. I remember asking the taxi driver to stop and let me look at what he later explained to me was a house being fumigated and that this was standard treatment for termites in California.
Is orange oil better than creating the monstrosity which met me over 10 years ago? Now that I know what fumigation really entails as well as some of the enduring criticisms of this mode of exterminating termites by environmentalists and others, I have an interest in termites orange.
Simply stated, orange oil is a chemical compound made from orange peels which is deadly to termites that come into contact with it and it can also block other termites from eating which results in the pests starving to death. However, termites orange is not without its own controversy and detractors. The product can be traced backed to the'30s when people used arsenic as a pesticide, criticism and doubt from environmentalists still hound the use of this method of exterminating.
It is pumped into wood for exterminating dry wood insects oftentimes through the tunnels made by the termites. But some argue that this method of treatment is not as effective as fumigating because it only kills those insects which come into contact with the oil whereas fumigating spreads out and reaches termites even in remote areas of a house.
However, orange oil is said to be more environmentally friendly than fumigation. Nevertheless, this form of treatment continues to struggle against being accepted over its rival. For instant, returning to California, there the law seems to approve orange oil and other forms of extermination for spot treatments but not for whole house treatment. If the entire house or other structure needs to be treated, then California requires that either fumigation or heat treatment be used. - 30446
