This alone does not meet our standards with regards to controlling unwanted pest in your attic such as roaches, ants and silverfish. Our exclusive Pest Guard Insulation service is a cellulose insulation product that we then treat with a borate to boost the level of effectiveness. Although this product will not effect wildlife, it will  upon contact help control most insects in your attic. These insects if left untreated can carry disease, damage wallpaper and contaminate your kitchen.

Air Duct Sanitation

Sanitation involves applying an antimicrobial chemical to kill bacteria and/or airborne contaminants and to minimize the chance of re-contamination. However, unlike spraying your kitchen counter or cleaning your bathroom sink, duct sanitation must be done with care and only when necessary to kill excessive microbial growth. At Universal Star Duct Cleaning™, our technicians take the utmost care to sanitize only in safe and effective ways. Some of these include:

• Recommending sanitation only when mechanical cleaning is insufficient to prevent bacteria or airborne contaminants from becoming a health hazard (e.g. after flood or sewage contamination, vermin infestations, etc.)
• Using only EPA-approved chemicals.
• Using such chemicals only as prescribed.
• Sanitizing only metal ducts and other non-porous parts of your HVAC system.
• Maintaining proper ventilation.
• Advising the homeowner about the specific pest the sanitation is designed to protect against.
• Advising the homeowner about any protective actions they need to take, such as leaving the house during the chemical application.
