Biovent Termite

Pest Control

About us

Biovent Termite specializes in same day termite inspections and treatments with Termite Tracker technology. Biovent Termite is a partnership between Gee Chow, Patrick Tamayo and Juler Hernandez. We have no employees or subcontractors. We are licensed by the State of California, PR 5856 and fully bonded and insured. Biovent Termite uses Termite Tracker technology to determine active from inactive infestations and pinpoint active infestations. That way we can minimize chemical use and save our customers money. See our Tracker demo video on youtube. http;//www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2IHQh19D2s We do charge for an inspection, but discount the inspection fee if we do the treatment the same day. We charge the inspection fee if we find no active infestations or if treatment is done the second trip out. Our inspections generally take longer than most companies. Most companies only visually check for infestations. We go beyond visual evidence. After our visual inspection we will test those areas to verify whether or not an infestation is active and then pinpoint the extent of active infestations. We can then write the report on site and perform treatment the same day. This way we minimize chemical and gas use, and save our customers time and money. Biovent Termite believes in minimizing our impact on our environment with Termite Tracker technology. Termite Tracker technology is scientifically tested and developed and made in America.

Description of Work: We were extremely satisfied with the service provided to us by Biovent. They were very professional and really seemed to have a passion for what they do--termite treatment using effective but safe chemical alternatives. They were very thorough, really willing to get into tight crawl spaces and attic areas and agreed to come out several times to ensure all the work was completed to our satisfaction. We loved that they saved us from having to tent our home! Instead they provided a much more cost effective yet credible solution for managing termites than any of the other companies we looked at. They do spot treatment and charge per infested area. Throughout the process if they noticed any other home issues (like broken ductwork or missing support beams in our foundation) they gave us a heads up so we could be aware of our home's maintenance and repair needs. We were so impressed because these observations had nothing to do with termites. It really felt like they were treating our home as their own! They were quick and efficient in completing the work and never tried to upsell us. I would say that out of the 10 or so different companies we have used in the last few years for work in our house (like appliance repair, flooring, landscaping etc.) the Biovent folks were our favorite and we hope to use them for all our future needs as well.

Gee Chow and one of his partners promptly showed up at the scheduled time, inspected my garage, house exterior and interior, went under the house in my crawl space, and checked my wooden fence. Afterwards, they explained what they had looked for, how they knew it was old evidence as opposed to new evidence of any problems, and then typed up the report. This took place over nearly 2 hours. The price was very reasonable: $300.00
Description of Work: Provider inspected my house, garage an wood fence for any termites or beetle infestation. They did not find any evidence of current activity. They only found evidence of past beetle problems, which I had taken care of 7 years ago when I had the house fumigated.

$200 would have covered one localized treatment. Since there was no problem, they examined the whole house and prepared a typical termite report. Friendly and honest.
Description of Work: Checked out what I thought was a termite problem. Turned out not to be a problem. They then performed a thorough examination and prepared a written report, with recommendations.

Biovent is very much the and quot;alternativeand quot; termite company. Orkin inspected quickly and recommended a full perimeter and interior chemical treatment for about $3200. The goal is to create plume of termiticide chemical saturating the soil all around the foundation, and keep it from washing away over time. The inspection itself was free. But the inspector was not able to show any actual evidence of a current infestation, claiming that was basically impossible. It felt like and quot;flying blindand quot;, with no way to determine need, and more importantly no way to come back later and verify if the treatment actually worked. So I contacted a UC Berkeley termite researcher asking about and quot;termite sniffing dogsand quot;, and ended up with a referral to Biovent instead. Biovent inspected slowly and carefully and concluded that we have no active infestation, and that with a few small changes to the house, we could see a future infestation before it gets serious. This inspection cost $300 (a price inclusive of one spot treatment). Biovent supplemented manual inspection with an electronic listening device. This device screws into wood and can hear and quot;chewingand quot; noises nearby, supposedly 4 feet in either direction. In some ways is a shame there were no termites, as it would have been fun to cut into the wood and actually see them (see this article where detection technology found termites manual inspection missed: RISKY BUSINESS Pest Control Technology Magazine 2/12/2001 http://www.pctonline.com/Article.aspx?article_id=39472 ). Those interested in a less invastive approach to termite control should also look up the new DuPont Altrisetâ„¢ termiticide
Description of Work: "Alternative" style termite inspection and spot preventative treatment.
