Have you found signs of a termite infestation in your home? If so, you may be wondering what is the best way to kill termites and keep them from coming back. There are several treatment options available and many different termite control products in use today. Some are more effective than others. If you have recently found termites in your home, below are a few tips on getting rid of these destructive pests for good.

Tip #1: Get an Inspection

The first thing you should do after discovering a termite problem is to call a specialist to conduct a professional inspection of your home. There are many different species of termites, and the type of termite problem you have will determine the type of treatment you will need. In addition, an inspection can reveal how many colonies you have on your property and how long they have been there. The good news is that most exterminators actually offer a free home inspection.

Tip #2: Treat and Control Current Infestations

When figuring out how to kill termites in your home, you need to work with a termite specialist to choose the best options from the variety of treatments available, including:

Liquid Applications: Certain species of termites build colonies inside the timber of your home. For these types of infestations, liquid application treatments are often the best way to kill termites. With liquid application treatments, a liquid termiticide is applied directly onto infested wood or injected inside of it.
Baiting: To kill a colony of subterranean termites, a baiting system may be recommended. With this type of treatment, an exterminator will apply a toxic bait at entry points and in mud shelter tubes that termites use to access to your home. When this bait is consumed, it is then carried back to the underground nest to share with the rest of the colony.
Chemical Barriers: To prevent termites from entering your home, a termite control specialist may recommend a chemical barrier. This will help to treat the current infestations and protect your house from future infestations.

Tip #3: Prevent Infestations in the Future

After getting rid of termites in your home, the next step is to protect against future infestations. It is imperative, therefore, that you get an annual inspection and treatment to prevent termite problems from arising ever again.
