Getting Rid of Termites Without Tenting
WouterGetting rid of termites without tenting can be a daunting task, but there are many options available. Using a professional exterminator can save you time, money, and effort. These treatments are not only effective, but are also less harmful to your home.
The most common way of killing termites is by using a chemical treatment. These chemicals are pumped into your home, at least four feet underground. These fumigants will then seep into the wood and kill the termites.
Another method of killing termites is to use heat treatment. This works by heating the air inside your home. The temperature is raised to 120 to 130 degrees. You can then continue this treatment for one or three hours.
Heat treatment is not only more efficient than fumigation, but it is also much safer. However, it can be expensive. It’s recommended that you contact a termite company for a quote. You can find a company online or on the Better Business Bureau.
One alternative to heat treatment is liquid nitrogen treatment. This is a chemical that is used to kill termites, but it does not affect people. It’s a bit difficult to buy large quantities of this, though.
Neem oil is also another termite killer. It disrupts the reproductive cycle of termites, which results in the destruction of entire colonies. To apply neem oil, mix it with a little bit of water and mild liquid soap. The resulting solution can be sprayed on the infested area.
