How Long Does Liquid Termite Treatment Last? 

Termites are a serious problem that can cost you thousands of dollars to fix. They are especially common in the spring months and are commonly found in warmer climates. There are several types of treatment, and the type you choose will depend on the species of termites in your home. If you do not know what type of treatment you need, you may want to hire a professional pest control service to do the job for you.

Baiting stations are another effective way to deal with termites. These systems require frequent inspections to ensure that the treatment is working. However, they do not work in all cases, and it can take up to six months to completely eradicate a colony. 

Liquid termite treatments are one of the most effective ways to treat termites. This treatment is usually applied around the foundation of your home and involves boring holes into the ground near the perimeter of your building. Then, a chemical barrier is created by injecting liquid termiticides into the soil. The chemical prevents termites from getting to your home and keeps them from coming back. Depending on how well the treatment is applied, the colony should be eliminated in just a few weeks. 

Soil treatments are also effective. These treatments use liquid termiticides to create a chemical barrier between your property and the colonies of termites. These treatments can last anywhere from five to eight years, depending on the application method and the environmental conditions in your area. Occasionally, these treatments are used in conjunction with a liquid treatment to extend the life of the barrier. 

Fumigation is another method of treatment that is effective but does not offer a long-term solution to your termite problem. These treatments are only effective for a few years and will require regular monitoring to ensure their effectiveness of the treatment. You should also avoid placing large piles of firewood or lumber near your home. You should inspect your outdoor furniture regularly to see if there are any signs of damage. You should also make sure that your yard is free of decaying trees, and other clutter. 

Termite baiting is another option and is a relatively new form of termite treatment. It can be a bit costly but is a great method of termite control. Using this method, a termite specialist will inject diluted liquid Termidor along the base of your home. This chemical will be absorbed into the soil, and the colony will start to die off after a few days. Unlike baiting, a termite colony will not be able to return to the moisture-rich soil of your property. 

If you have a large infestation, you may need to do a combination of treatments. You can choose to have a professional termite control company come out to your home to do a full treatment, or you can do it yourself. A professional should be able to determine what course of treatment will work best for your situation, and will suggest the best aftercare.
