How our termite treatments work

The best way to treat termites depends on the specific type of termites infesting the property (such as drywood, dampwood, or subterranean termites), the severity of the infestation, and other factors.

Bait station System

Our termite bait station systems are designed to align with termites' natural foraging behavior. When termites encounter the bait, they consume it and share it with rest of the colony, helping to reduce termite populations over time.

  • Effective for subterranean termites
  • Protection begins immediately with products that work around the clock
  • Low-visibility bait stations are placed to create a barrier around your home and minimize disruption to your yard
  • Eliminate existing termites and monitor if new activity appears
  • Annual inspections and bait station refills
  • Secure locking station caps keep bait in, but kids, pets, and animals out

Liquid termite treatment

Liquid termite treatment starts with digging an trench around the house, and the termiticide is applied along that foundation. When termites come into contact with the liquid treatment, they can spread it to other termites they interact with as they return to the colony.

  • Effective for subterranean termites
  • Protection begins immediately with a product that works around the clock
  • Annual inspections and bait station refills

Termite bait system & liquid treatment

Formosan termites are one of the most aggressive and destructive termite species. Known for their relentless feeding habits, they can cause significant structural damage in a relatively short amount of time. Due to the severity of their activity, controlling Formosan termites may require a dual approach that combines both termite baiting systems and liquid treatments for effective results.

Fumigation treatment

Fumigation may be a necessary treatment option when dealing with drywood termites. This process ensures complete eradication by using a controlled fumigant gas that reaches hidden areas where drywood termites reside.

  • Effective for drywood termites
  • Reaches deep into wood, cracks, and crevices for a thorough treatment
  • Sealed containment ensures full exposure to fumigant
  • Safe and carefully controlled process with proper aeration

Drywood Defend System

Protecting your home from drywood termites is crucial, especially in California, Florida, and Hawaii where they pose a significant threat. These sneaky pests nest within the wood they infest and do not require connection to soil, making detecting and eliminating them challenging.

That's why we offer a comprehensive solution through our Drywood Defend System™. Our proactive approach help fortify your property against the threat of drywood termites.

A termite inspection is recommended in several situations. It's often required when buying or selling a home, as lenders and insurance companies may request proof of a recent inspection. Even if you're not in the process of buying or selling, it's a good decision to get an inspection if you notice signs of termites, such as mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, or frass. Regular inspections—typically once a year—can help catch an infestation early before it causes significant damage.

The cost of termite treatment depends on factors like infestation severity, termite type, and whether you need treatment, prevention, or ongoing protection. At Terminix, we offer flexible payment options to help make termite protection more affordable. You can choose monthly or annual payment plans, and for larger treatments, financing options may be available to fit your budget. Our expert termite exterminators customize solutions to fit your home and budget.

While DIY termite treatments are available, they are generally not effective. Termites are persistent and can be challenging to eliminate without professional help. A professional termite exterminator can assess the extent of the infestation and provide a more thorough and long-lasting solution.

Termites can cause significant damage to your home before you even notice their presence. Taking proactive steps to prevent infestations and recognizing the early warning signs can help minimize costly repairs. Here are a few basic preventive measures and early detection tips:

  • Reduce moisture: Fix leaks, improve drainage, and keep wood from direct contact with soil to help deter termites.
  • Store wood properly: Keep firewood, lumber, and mulch away from your home's foundation.
  • Use treated wood: When building or renovating, use termite-resistant or pressure-treated wood.
  • Maintain landscaping: Keep bushes, trees, and mulch away from your home to help reduce termite sheltering spots and make it easier to spot mud tubes or structural damage caused by termites.
