Atlas Termite & Pest Control Offers Targeted Defense by Termite Type

Sep 24, 2026

Atlas Termite & Pest Control in Norman, OK, has launched specialized termite eradication protocols tailored by species. The program combines species-specific baiting, liquid barriers, and thermal diagnostics to protect Cleveland County homes from subterranean and drywood termite threats.

Norman, United States, September 24, 2026 /PressCable/ -- NORMAN, Okla. — Atlas Termite & Pest Control, a leading provider of residential and commercial pest management in Norman, Oklahoma since 1959, has announced an expanded extermination framework delivering targeted defense protocols customized to specific termite species. Recognizing that uniform treatment plans fail to address the biological differences between termite varieties, the company has updated its diagnostic tools and application methods to eliminate subterranean termites, drywood termites, and wood-boring pests common to Central Oklahoma.

Termites cause billions of dollars in structural property damage across North America each year. In Oklahoma, warm summers, fluctuating soil moisture, and rich agricultural terrain create ideal breeding grounds for destructive wood-destroying organisms. However, different species exhibit distinct nesting behaviors, dietary preferences, colony structures, and entry pathways into residential homes and commercial buildings.

For instance, Eastern Subterranean termites nest underground and rely on subterranean mud tubes to travel into home foundations, seeking moisture and cellulose. In contrast, Drywood termites nest entirely within dry structural timber, requiring no contact with soil and spreading through airborne swarmers during warm seasons. Applying a standard liquid soil barrier against a drywood colony, or relying solely on surface spray against deeply entrenched subterranean colonies, leaves property owners vulnerable to unchecked structural destruction.

Atlas Termite & Pest Control’s species-targeted defense framework directly eliminates these vulnerabilities through rigorous species identification, custom chemical formulations, and advanced barrier technologies.

"A common mistake property owners make is treating all termites as if they act the same," said Justin Blank, General Manager at Atlas Termite & Pest Control. "Subterranean termites require subterranean soil barriers and slow-acting baiting systems that eradicate the underground queen, while drywood termites demand localized wood penetrations or specialized structural treatments. By identifying the exact species before applying a single treatment, we eliminate the infestation at the source and save homeowners thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs."

Atlas Termite & Pest Control’s expanded extermination service incorporates specialized defense channels designed around the exact biological habits of Oklahoma termite species:

Subterranean Termite Defense (Eastern & Arid-Land Species): Deploying non-repellent liquid termiticides around home perimeter foundations, slab gaps, and utility penetrations. Termites carry the active agent back to their subterranean nests, eradicating the entire colony, including the queen.

Targeted Baiting & Monitoring Systems: Installing discrete, subterranean bait stations around property perimeters to monitor termite activity year-round and eliminate colonies before they reach building structures.

Drywood Termite Localized Treatments: Utilizing deep-wood injection technology, borate wood preservatives, and specialized foam termiticides to penetrate structural beams, attic trusses, and window frames where drywood colonies nest.

Moisture & Exclusion Management: Identifying internal plumbing leaks, high soil-to-wood contact points, and crawlspace moisture accumulation that attract subterranean species, providing long-term structural exclusion advice.

Thermal Imaging & Moisture Meter Diagnostics: Employing high-resolution thermal imaging cameras and acoustic detection technology to locate hidden mud tubes and internal gallery networks behind drywall without invasive drilling.

Since opening its doors in 1959, Atlas Termite & Pest Control has served as a trusted pest control provider for families, property managers, and businesses throughout Norman, Moore, Edmond, and the greater Oklahoma City metro area. The company's focus on technician training, environmental safety, and continuous monitoring ensures that property owners receive long-term protection backed by renewable service warranties.

With termite swarming season posing annual risks to local properties, early identification remains the most effective defense against costly home repairs.

"Our goal is to give Cleveland County property owners complete peace of mind," added Blank. "With our species-specific treatment protocols, we don't just mask the symptoms; we eliminate the threat entirely and protect the structural integrity of your home."

TNT brings in Hornsby as new import

Defending PBA Governors’ Cup champion TNT tapped Nick Hornsby as its new import to take the spot of Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson as the team prepares for the resumption of the tournament this October. The Tropang 5G made their official announcement on their social media accounts Thursday. “Bagong Tropa. Bagong armas. Meet the newest addition sa TNT Tropang 5G. Ready to make his mark,” the team posted. “Welcome KaTropa Nick!” The 31-year-old American is seen as a stand-in import with original choice, three-time Best Import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson who is still recovering from an Achilles tendon injury he sustained last December. He suffered the Achilles injury while playing for the Meralco Bolts in the East Asia Super League Season 3 home-and-away tournament last December. TNT team manager Jojo Lastimsosa said they don’t want to rush Hollis-Jefferson’s return. “We want to make sure Rondae is fully ready before we put him back on the court. He needs more game simulations and we don’t want to rush his return. We want him as close as 100 percent as possible,” TNT said in a statement. Hornsby is coming off a recent stint with the Edmonton Stingers  in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. Hollis-Jefferson, the left-handed American-Jordanian known by his initials RHJ, actually rejoined the team’s practice several weeks back, suiting up for the multi-titled PBA squad during a friendly match against the Jordanian national team, which used it to prepare for the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. TNT though elected to bring Hornsby, more likely to give the do-it-all Hollis-Jefferson more time to get himself back into shape. His brother Rahlir lasted just four games since replacing Darius Day. Rahlir averaged 22.8 points, 12 rebounds and over four assists, where TNT limped to an even 4-4 record, behind the 7-3 cards of NLEX and San Miguel Beer, as well as Converge (5-4) in the Governors’ Cup. The tournament is currently on a break to give way to Gilas’ international tournaments. TNT hopes to secure a win when the tournament restarts on Oct. 7 as the Tropang 5G battles Terrafirma.

Sotto returns to Japan, signs deal with Altiri Chiba

Kai Sotto will be returning for another season in Japan after signing with new team Altiri Chiba. The Chiba squad welcomed the 7-foot-3 Sotto through its official announcement on its website on Thursday. “I'm looking forward to joining the club Altiri Chiba. I'm very excited to meet the team, Coach Andrej [Lemanis], the staff, my teammates, and the fans!” Sotto said in a statement posted on the Chiba website.  Sotto was coming off a stint with the Koshigaya Alphas in the Japan B.League 2025-26 season, where he averaged 13.1 points and 9.4 rebounds, as he made a successful return from a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury on his knee. The left-handed Filipino is fresh off a return stint with Gilas Pilipinas, where he averaged 15.5 points, 15 rebounds and 2.0 asssists as the Philippines scored a two-game home sweep against Jordan and Iran in the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers fourth window in Manila. Sotto will be making his much-debut with Chiba on Oct. 3 against the Kawasaki Brave Thunders, with the Japanese squad hoping to improve on its 19-win effort from the previous season. “I'll do everything I can to help this team win and achieve great things this season,” he added. Altiri CEO and representative Yoshihide Niwa  welcomed Sotto to the team. “He is a big man who combines imposing 220cm stature with a soft touch around the rim and the passing vision to bring his teammates into the game,” the Japanese team official said in a statement.
