Homeowners love the concept of a “built-in” pest control system, and contractors – particularly masons – can profit from offering product add-ons to their customers, including pest control products. Pest Control Solutions Inc. has developed patented chemical application appliances dubbed the Perimeter Pest Control System. An inexpensive and reusable Chemical Injection Port has been developed for use on brick wall systems. It gives the Pest Control Company a means to provide additional pest control treatment on the interior of brick wall systems and can be used with existing pest control treatment and protocols. It is equally suitable for residential and commercial properties.
