Professionals employ various methods to combat termite infestations, selecting the most appropriate treatment based on the termite species and the extent of the infestation. Common approaches include liquid soil treatments by applying termiticides to the soil around a structure to create a chemical barrier that deters termites from entering, baiting systems that involve installing bait stations containing slow-acting toxins that termites carry back to their colonies, leading to the colony’s elimination, wood treatments by directly applying termiticides or borate solutions to wood surfaces to prevent or address infestations, and fumigation, which involves enclosing the entire structure and introducing a fumigant gas to eradicate termites throughout the building.
