Removing Termites

When it comes to termite control, the good news is that new, effective management techniques continue to emerge. Subterranean termites, which live underground, are the most likely type of termite to attack your home. Generally, these control options for these termites work by:

• Establishing a chemical barrier to keep termites out of your home, or kill termites that come into contact with the barrier.
• Baiting termites with edible material that kills them.
• Preventing termite infestations with new home construction treatments.

The less common drywood termite lives in the dry wood – hence the name – found in your home and can be treated with spot and tenting applications. Click here to learn more about subterranean and drywood termite basics.

What should I ask for from my PMP?
When you meet with your PMP, ask about the products they plan to use around your home. A PMP might use a chemical treatment like Termidor® termiticide-insecticide or a baiting system like Advance® Termite Baiting System. No matter the choice, your PMP will be able to answer all your questions regarding the treatment plan.
