How Do I Get Rid of Termites?

Is DIY Termite Control an Option?

We understand the appeal of trying to handle termite problems on your own. However, when it comes to termites, it’s best to leave it to the professionals.

But if you’re curious about some DIY methods, here are a few that homeowners sometimes try:

• Traps and baiting systems
• Changing indoor temperature (extreme heat or cold)
• Boric acid 

These methods might offer some level of prevention or minor control, but they’re simply not robust enough to tackle a full-blown termite infestation. It’s always best to rely on professional expertise.

What Are the Most Effective Professional Termite Treatments?

When you decide to call in the experts (and trust us, you’ll be glad you did!), there are two primary treatment options that have proven to be highly effective in eliminating termites and providing long-term protection:

1. Liquid Termite Treatments

Liquid treatments have come a long way in recent years, offering a powerful and long-lasting solution to termite problems. Here’s what makes them so effective:

• • Long-term protection: Some liquid treatments can safeguard your home for up to 13 years! That’s over a decade of peace of mind.
  • Low environmental impact: Modern formulations are low-odor and designed to target termites specifically, minimizing the impact on beneficial insects.
  • Versatility: These treatments can often control other types of pests as well, giving you more bang for your buck.
  • Minimal disruption: Once applied, these treatments rarely need to be reapplied, meaning less hassle for you in the long run.

2. Bait Stations

Bait stations offer a different but equally effective approach to termite control. Here’s why they’re a great option:

• • Irresistible to termites: The bait used in these stations is specifically formulated to attract termites, luring them away from your home.
  • Discreet protection: Bait stations are strategically placed around your property’s perimeter, providing invisible but powerful protection.
  • Colony elimination: The bait is designed to be carried back to the colony, effectively eliminating the entire termite population over time.
