The best termite treatment depends on your infestation, home, and budget. But, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), soil-applied barrier treatments, such as liquid termiticides, are among the most common termite treatments. The other common treatment type is termite baits. Termite baits are placed in the soil around your home every 10 feet and monitored regularly to ensure your home is safe from future termite contaminations. Work with a termite professional to determine the best treatment for your situation.

When baiting traps for iguanas, avoid using herbs, fruits, and vegetables that are toxic to them, such as fresh sage, rosemary, avocados, and eggplants. While fresh, ripe fruit is effective at attracting iguanas, be cautious of pits and seeds from fruits like apples, pears, and peaches, as they are highly toxic. Additionally, steer clear of citrus fruits, a natural deterrent to iguanas.
