HomeTeam Pest Defense

What is the benefit to owning a Taexx system?

When HomeTeam Pest Defense services your home, the technician will inject distribution lines inside the walls with pest control materials limiting contact with your family and pets. It's effective because the pest control materials target pests where they hide, live and breed - inside the walls. And, it's convenient.

Does the Taexx integrated pest control system control termites?

No. It is not a deterrent for termites. However, we offer other products and services that will guard against termites including our termite baiting system and termite treatments of wood and soil.

What if I have blown-in insulation?

Exterior finishes, foundation design and insulation type effect which walls Taexx is installed. Taexx is designed to meet the specific needs of each builder. The Taexx system will be installed in designated exterior or interior walls or a combination of both.

What happens if a Taexx distribution line is cut during construction?

Typically, damaged lines are found and repaired prior to closing up the walls. In the rare instance of a cut line enclosed in a wall, HomeTeam Pest Defense technicians can detect a damaged line during treatment and mark the line at the port box to prevent further treatments of that single line. The Taexx system typically has 10-15 zones and will cover adequate pest control even if a zone is disabled.

Does the networked home system, taexx, qualify for “green” programs?

Yes. The Florida Green Building Coalition (3 points), as well as numerous other "Green" programs, provides "Green Points" for including integrated pest management practices, specifically, precision targeting of pesticides to areas not contacted by or accessible to the occupants.
