Common Termite Remediation Questions

The length of time you can live in a house with termites depends on the severity of the infestation and the amount of damage they have already caused. While a small infestation may not significantly impact your quality of life, or even be noticeable in many cases, a larger infestation can cause serious damage to the structural integrity of your home and potentially lead to serious safety hazards.

One of the most widespread chemicals used for killing termites is Fipronil. It’s one of the most common insecticides used by termite exterminators to kill termites fast. However, it’s toxic and generally used in outdoor areas only. Popular brand names of termite killers include Taurus, Bifen, Termidor, and BioAdvanced. All insecticides have pros and cons: Some are safer around humans but don’t last as long. Some may kill nearby plants or have power odors. Some are designed for safe indoor bait stations but take much longer to work.

Termites can start causing damage within just a few weeks of settling in, and while the signs might not show up right away, they can hollow out drywall and structural wood within a few months. If left untreated for a year or more, the damage can be extensive and expensive.

There’s indeed no guarantee termites won’t return to your home, even after top-notch professional treatment. In areas where these hardy pests are prevalent, it can be tricky to banish them for good.

However, maintaining preventative measures, keeping a close eye out for early signs, and purchasing an ongoing professional treatment management plan can ensure you keep termites at bay and reduce the chance of any damage. Professional whole-house termite treatments can last five years or more.

First, you’ll start noticing fewer flying termites in the air. Second, you’ll see fewer ground-based termites near the entrances to their colony, and eventually none at all. Third, if you have access to part of the nest like mud tubes, you can scour away a section and watch it. If the tubes don’t get repaired, the nest is probably doomed. Again, it can take several weeks for termites to fully go away, depending on the type of treatment.
