What is the Best way to Treat Your Home for Termites?
Treating your home for termites can be a daunting task. If you find yourself in need of exterminating a termite colony, there are many questions that may arise. But don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place. Here are the best ways to get these wood eating demons out of your home…
Top 5 Termite Treatment Methods
1 - Liquid Chemical Treatment
The best way to exterminate termites is to let a professional pest control company treat your home with a liquid chemical treatment. These liquid insecticides efficiently and effectively eliminate all termite colonies that come in contact with them. These products have been formulated with years of testing. When you let a professional company treat your home with this method, there is a 100% chance you will not have termites for a very long time. Better yet, these treatments come with warranties.
2 - Bait Station Treatment
Another really good option for eliminating a termite colony is to have a pest control company install termite bait stations. These bait stations are inserted into the ground around the perimeter of the home in 10-15 feet intervals. These bait stations have wood material inside them, then when the termites start to feed on the wood, colony killing poison is added to the wood. Many pest control companies offer this as their primary treatment method, and it does work very well when done correctly. However, Toby’s Pest Control currently doesn’t use this option to treat homes
3 - DIY Liquid Treatment
There are always do it yourself options for many home projects. If you can research the best products to use, and have time to treat the soil. Then a do it yourself option may be a good option for you. This option however wont come with a warranty, if you don’t do the service correctly then you could be at risk for termites in the future.
