Looking for their hideouts!

You can start by checking your home over for anti termite rinses. Most new homes already have a coating of anti termite finishes on the home. Check the doors, windows and flooring to ensure that the home is free of termites. If you have bought the home recently, then do find out from the previous owners if they have carried out an anti termite process on the house.

This is better as you can call up the same professionals and ask for a simple reapplication of the solution for a lesser rate. Take the time to check out the furniture and wooden flooring to find out whether they have been treated for termites. Termites come up from the earth and all untreated furniture and flooring will get easily infected if you are not careful.

Protecting your Household!

Protect your furniture with termite rinses and polishes that are available online just for this purpose. Never use wood furniture that has been outside in construction projects as they are usually infested with termites.

Finding the right gears!

You can go online to buy termite baits that work well to kill termites. The price is very reasonable and easy to use by non-professionals too. The entire system is very easy to use as it has several stations that are placed all around your home. Then a monitoring system is placed around the house which consists of a piece of wood inside a ball of plastic with holes to attract termites. If the block of wood is attacked by termites, you have an early warning system of possible termite infestation.

Chemical treatments for getting rid of termites:

You may or may not get liquid solutions to use but unless you are familiar with the use of liquid repellents and chemicals; please do not use the solution. You can try to pump holes in the ground and then drain the solution in to the ground. Professionals also work on the same method but they drill deeper holes that push the solution deeper into the ground.

Termites are repelled by the smell of the repellents. Please be very careful of the older chemicals that are used to kill termites as they can easily leak into the water table and contaminate water. Solutions like Permethrin 36.8% , Cyper TC or Dominion 2L are all of the older family and they are not recommended for use by non professionals. They are also environmentally unsafe and can cause allergic reactions and breathing problems if used with out care.

One of the best chemical, which in use nowadays to kill termites is, FIPRONIL. This solution is a much safer chemical that is preferred for use nowadays. The quantity required is smaller and it’s not as toxic older solutions. At present, if you are going to try out the liquid method of killing termites then this chemical is the best alternative. Please remember to redo the solution at least once a year to keep your home clean.

There are several other methods of killing termites but if you are not sure that all the termites are dead or if the termites keep coming back, then do call in the professionals.
