Rescuing Flooded Homes From Disease Contamination, Mold, Wood Rot and Termite Damage with Jim Gorman of Nisus

Summary: And now for today’s topic I got on the phone Jim Gorman corporate V.P. of Marketing for Nisus Corp.. Hey welcome to the podcast. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me. Yeah man. So I understand a lot of things are going on. You guys are getting hit with the floods and a lot of homes are getting damaged. And you know we talk you know you’ve got you’ve contacted us about discussing what you guys could do to help. And a lot of guys are going to probably be hurting and you know being on hold for some of this stuff and what you guys can do for them. So I think it’s an awesome opportunity. Just tell us a little bit about you and a little bit about your company. Nisus Corporations is Americas Premier New Home Pre Treatment Solution That way people who don’t know about you can know well Nisus corporations has been around since 1989 and our first product was born here and more care was developed as a log home preservative and then the inventor by Dietrich found that it killed insects and killed termites and so he registered it as pesticide. And as you know today Boracare is the number one termite pre treatment in the nation. We’ve probably got about a 45 percent market share of new construction homes that are treated using Boracare. And so far it’s been a great right. Now we have a full line of products for pest control. We have a division that sells chemicals into the wood preservation industry. So we have copper naphtha Nate that is a replacement for Creosote and pentacle or a phenol. And so we have that and we’re starting hopefully we’ll start another division this year. So that’s kind of exciting. Nisus has been part of the flood recovery effort So but Nisuss has been part of the flood work really since Katrina. And our company was on the ground after the Ninth Ward flooded and training pest companies how to go in and disinfect because as you know when there’s flood waters those flood waters are not just nice clean water that it’s they’ve got a lot of toxic elements in you know grudges flood all sorts of things that you know release things into that flood water. And you also have a high level of E. coli and things like that. So one of the things that we saw is that people didn’t understand that they really needed to protect themselves when they were doing clean out and they needed to disinfect the structure. So we talked pest control companies to do that. Then we showed them how to apply borer care with mold care which kills mold and helps prevent mold from growing back to the structure to the wood in the structure. And then of course whenever there’s a flood termite treatments have to be reapplied as well. So we we have gone down into these areas and you know starting with Katrina there was a number of companies down there who’s really lost the majority of their customers and they didn’t have things for their employees to do. And so by getting this program setting up and helping them help their community rebuild we were able to help these companies put their employees back to work and we’ve had a couple of guys tell us that you know we really saved their companies. So but then as the you know more floods came. Baton Rouge was another one and we were down there in Houston we were down there and Knoxville has had some flooding in the last week or so just from a heavy rain event. We’ve got a small number of house is flooded compared you know like maybe 800 homes that have been flooded. But it was you know we probably had one hundred
