Termites can cause extensive damage to your home if left unchecked. Here are five simple ways to get rid of termites.

 

Termite Baits

To attract and kill termites, place termite baits around your house. They carry the bait back to their colony, which helps to eliminate the entire population.

Use Borate Treatments

Use a solution based on borate to treat wood surfaces. Borates infiltrate the wood, eliminating termites that eat it and prevent more infestations.

Apply Liquid Termiticide

Apply liquid termiticide to the soil around your home. This creates a barrier that kills termites on contact and prevents future infestations.

Install Physical Barriers

Install physical barriers like steel mesh or sand around your home’s foundation to block termites from entering.

Pest Control

Contact a pest control professional for a thorough inspection and specialised treatment options to effectively eliminate your termite problem.
