Broadly speaking

Limited area termite treatments

These are limited to one small area such as a wall or tree stump and treated either using a non repellent chemical or above ground bait station. Although effective on the colony found they do not offer protection from future termite infestations.

Full Termite Chemical Soil Treatments

A chemical barrier is costly to install but offers significant long term protection against termite attacks as it protects the whole property and destroys any colonies that attempt to cross the chemical “zone”.

Full-House Termite Bait Stations

In ground termite bait stations are installed around the perimeter of them home. These types of barriers are more suitable for some types of properties but they do require more regular checking which results in them being the most costly over time.

The cost for these treatments can range from a few hundred dollars to a several thousand depending on the option that is picked and the size of the property but whichever is picked it is important to choose a reliable pest control company that uses quality chemicals and products.

Don’t fall for “cheap” fly-by-night cowboy operators who will disappear once you find out that they haven’t done their job properly.
