5 Star Termite & Pest Control's independent lab test: H2O

A comparative lab test was performed to assess the purity of 5 Star’s double filtered water vs the city water supply. This water is used in every treatment, termite or pest, performed by 5 Star. The important results have been highlighted to show that our filtration systems removes nearly all dissolved solids and chlorine from the city water supply. Chlorine and other dissolved solids begin the breakdown process of these low-in-toxicity chemicals before they are even applied. This allows the active ingredients in our ETT444 treatment process to last much longer.
