Termidor. Was recommended by friends that use to own a business. Used to only be sold to companies. It’s expensive but much cheaper than hiring a company.Any recommendations on getting rid of termites? Bait/liquid? Company you would or have used?
Thanks,
thanks, I contacted Terminex, Orkin and Akita. Just starting my research.I suggest you call a company like Oriken and have them fix the problem. Dealing with termites on your own is too complicated and you might not get it right. You will pay about $2K to eradicate the termites but it is worth it.
How did you treat stoops, driveways, other surfaces that are concrete/stone/etc.? Termidor is easy to apply to areas with dirt against your house but I've been wondering what to do about the other places.Termidor. Was recommended by friends that use to own a business.

Another vote for Termidor....it is the Gold Standard of current termite treatments. Depending on where you live, the longevity is around 8-10 years.thanks, I contacted Terminex, Orkin and Akita. Just starting my research.
I’ll send you the directions if I can figure out how to do that. I have some at my house which I used a couple years ago and worked great. I don’t remember off hand how I applied it frabkly.How did you treat stoops, driveways, other surfaces that are concrete/stone/etc.?

Yeah termite treatment isn't expensive and evidence that you properly inspected and treated would be needed if you ever needed to sell your house. It might be ok to self-treat in some cases, but right now you should pay to get a good professional out to at least find out where they are and if they've done any damage.
In the old days the termite companies had this great chemical that they could spray around your foundation and it would keep a house termite free for 20 years. But that chemical has been banned because it was dangerous for the workers who applied it. Now the chemicals are much less effective and have to be re-applied more frequently. But if you live in a termite climate (and most of North America is now termite country), it's worth it.

Yup, that's the best stuff. What most people don't know is that they use that to keep ants and other insects out of your house as well. That's why they have specials with termite treatments like insect control treatment for free. They are already putting it down.Termidor. Was recommended by friends that use to own a business.

The primary eliminate the contractor would install is the termite metal flashing above grade and vertical termite insulation attached to your foundation walls below grade, followed by soil treatment in termite infestation areas.Stupid question, however, here goes! Built home in 87. Poured basement, walls at least 1' above ground level. Lot about 1 acre. Empty wooded lot to my south and hundred of acres of woods East. Need I do anything to prevent the little varmints showing up here! Thank you!
