A Guide to DIY Termite Treatments
Termites love to munch on wood and wreak havoc on your home. Before starting treatment, you need to confirm you’re dealing with termites. Look out for those mud tubes they build to travel around. If you spot any damaged wood or droppings, it’s a sure sign they’re around.
Once that’s out of the way, dig a trench around your house’s foundation, about six inches wide and deep. Then, you mix some termiticide with water in a bucket.
Next, pour the mixture into the trench, four gallons for every ten feet. Let it soak, and spray the soil you put back in. Then, fill the trench back up with the soil.
There are many termite treatments you can try. One popular option is using bait stations or traps. They attract and eliminate the little buggers. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make your termite killer using natural ingredients like orange or neem oil. This approach can be an effective and eco-friendly tool.
But DIY termite treatments aren’t always a walk in the park. Sometimes, you might need to call in professional exterminators. That’s the best option if the infestation is out of control, or you’re dealing with a tricky termite species. With a bit of vigilance and the right tools, you can protect your home from those sneaky little bugs. Watch this video to see how professionals do it.
