Painting Options

Bug Juice (recommended): is the only EPA-registered insecticidal paint additive on the market for both interior and exterior use including kitchens and pantries. It’s ideal for controlling infestation from insects such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, hornets, flies, silverfish, and weevils. It is used in residential applications as well as commercial buildings like hotels, restaurants, convention centers, and nursing homes.

Bug Juice does not repel insects; it is a contact pesticide. It begins to work after an insect makes contact with the treated surface. Bug Juice will not affect the color or drying time of the coating. It is recommended that you hose off the treated surface with water twice a year. This provides a clean surface for insects to land on. Bug Juice does not have an odor and will last up to 5-7 years. Cost: $275 average to treat the entire home

Okon Paintbooster (recommended on stucco or concrete applications): Creates a water repellent barrier that reduces premature paint failure, wood rot, and mold growth by reducing water absorption. Ideal for exterior surfaces subject to moisture condensation—like stucco, window sills, outdoor furniture, garage doors, siding, fences, and more— OKON PAINTBOOSTER contains a proprietary “water beading agent” that protects against water absorption and makes water bead-like on a newly waxed car! Help keep stucco from cracking in Georgia’s varying temperature and weather.

When added to any latex paint or stain, the water-based paint conditioner and water repellent additive improves flow and leveling and reduces brush, roller, and lap marks—making paint easier to apply! It increases the open time when painting in direct sunlight, making it great for jobs in hot temperatures. And, because of its high acrylic content, PAINTBOOSTER does not affect the color or reduce the coverage. Cost: $285 average for entire exterior.

Mildewcide: Stay-Clean I/E is a mildewcide paint additive designed to inhibit mold & mildew growth on interior and exterior surfaces. Stay-Clean I/E can be applied on most interior and exterior surfaces, including bathrooms, kitchens, decks, and pantries.
