To our neighbors and all those affected by the Southern California wildfires, we extend our heartfelt condolences for the losses and challenges you’ve faced. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. This tragedy is near and dear to all of us at Natural Science Exterminating, as our owner’s mother-in-law lost the home she had been lovingly remodeling for the last five years, as well as an apartment building.
After multiple decades of pest control and management in Orange County, we remain strong in our commitment to 100% customer satisfaction as we expand our service area to include Los Angeles. To support the people of LA rebuilding homes and communities after the Eaton Fire in Altadena and Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades, we are offering 20% off Bora-Care treatments for new construction homes.
Bora-Care and Thermal Acoustical Pest Control (TAP) insulation are low-toxicity, eco-friendly solutions—two of the best in the industry for providing lasting protection against pests, preventing wood decay and structural damage, and preserving both the value and integrity of your property. It is best to install TAP insulation and apply Bora-Care during the build and remodel phases, as these are the only windows of time when the home's framework is fully accessible.
What Is Bora-Care? The Industry Standard Against Termites, Insects, & Wood Decay
Bora‑Care is a termiticide, insecticide, and fungicide registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
When Bora-Care is applied directly to the wood at this stage, its active ingredient, a borate mineral salt, penetrates deep into the wood and remains effective for the life of the wood. It preserves the wood by preventing and killing termites and other wood-destroying organisms.
- Termites: Termites are one of the most common household pests in the United States, particularly in California, where they cause billions of dollars in damage each year. They feed on wood for its cellulose content, making any wood or wood-based material a target for destruction. When applied as a preventative treatment or pre-treatment, Bora-Care is especially effective against termites, disrupting their ability to digest wood and ultimately killing them.
- Carpenter Ants, Powderpost Beetles, Old‑House Borers, & Wood‑Boring Beetles: These insects do not eat wood like termites do, but their burrowing and nesting weakens the structure of wood, causing significant damage and increasing the risk of structural collapse. Bora-Care acts as a delayed-kill insecticide for wood-damaging pests by disrupting their digestive systems and preventing them from feeding, leading to eventual death by starvation.
- Wood Decay & Rot—Fungi and Algae Growth: When wood is exposed to moisture, fungi and algae can develop, leading to wood degradation. However, wood treated preventatively with Bora-Care helps stop wood-decaying fungi and algae from taking hold. If the wood already has fungi or algae, treating it with Bora-Care helps stop their spread and prevents further damage.
What Is TAP Pest Control Insulation? Energy-Saving Thermal Insulation, Soundproofing, Fire Retardation, & Pest Control
TAP insulation is an EPA-registered product that offers thermal insulation, soundproofing, fire retardation, and pest control, with a lifetime warranty.
In California, where the sunny heat and numerous species of pests can be relentless, poor insulation and pest damage can quickly escalate, leading to significant energy and repair costs. TAP insulation helps homeowners save thousands of dollars on energy bills by maintaining your ideal temperature at home. In the hotter months, it keeps cool air conditioning from escaping the home, and in colder months, it keeps the warm air from the heater from escaping. Made from cellulose fibers, primarily recycled newspaper, TAP insulation is infused with naturally derived borate, which repels pests and is toxic to them but safe and non-toxic to humans.
As the only pest control insulation product on the market today with the Energy Star® label, customers who choose to have TAP insulation installed are eligible for up to a $500 tax credit.
