Termites: A Multimillion Dollar Problem

What is the most destructive condition to which your home can be subjected?

If you answered termites, you answered correctly. This age old problem has never been eradicated and can only be contained with regular treatment. If containment is the answer, then a natural consequence to solving your problem is by calling Oliver Exterminating.

Since its inception, this company has managed to grow not only in size, but in reputation.

This foremost and most widely recognized company in the treatment of termites informs us that these creatures abound in our schools, government buildings, commercial establishments, and everywhere you can imagine.

Termites usually operate in the foundation, walls or roof of your home. They can eat through concrete, electrical wiring or wooden beams. Confronting the problem begins by determining where they appear to be in your house. In many cases, the walls holding up your ceiling can have a very significant tell-tale sign. This sign is a brown line that could appear to be paint spots. The agent you invite into your house for a consultation will proceed to determine the extent of the problem and the course of action that should be taken.

Treatment can begin by drilling a half inch hole every two feet or so in your floor. A non-harmful chemical agent is then injected into these holes. Treatment for walls, roofs, etc. is similar. On occasion, a family will be required to vacate their residence for a 24 hour period when stronger chemical remedies are needed. The chemicals normally used, however, are not harmful to you and your family.

Let’s take a look at this company.

Established in 1956, Oliver Exterminating has branches in San Juan, Bayamon, Arecibo, Mayagüez, Ponce, Caguas and in the Dominican Republic. At present it is the only company of its type dedicated to industrial pest control with ISO 9000 2000 certification in the year 2008, both in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

The company employs approximately 150, including an internal technical director. Their fleet of trucks numbers 125, some recently changed for brand new models. A policy of $5,000,000 for public responsibility is their sign of social responsibility.

How do they serve their clients?

The company prides itself in the vast experience each of their employees has in the eradication of termites and other harmful creatures. After 54 years of continued service, very few like-minded companies on the island can claim that banner. In having so many branches, the company assures their clients immediate and clearly defined action no matter where they live.

The ISO 9000 certification certainly goes a long way in defining the company’s desire to provide great service and the ability to sustain intense scrutiny by any independent source. Both quality and client satisfaction are measures of this certification.

Their technical staff offers sanitary inspections for hospitals, restaurants, etc., training to targeted meetings and educational seminars in the proper processes and control of mechanical/physical health hazards.

Other island wide services include elimination of bird problems, ants and roaches, mosquitos, ticks, etc.

In conclusion, it is gratifying to anyone with any of the above mentioned problems to know there is a dedicated company with excellent products which is staffed with many qualified professionals.
