Certain lawn and garden insecticides use active ingredients that are also used for termite control. However, effectiveness depends entirely on placing the chemical where termites encounter it—typically by injecting it into the soil around the foundation.
Too many variables (soil type, foundation construction, termite species, moisture) affect treatment success. Homeowner applications rarely achieve complete, lasting protection.
Hire a licensed pest control company. Request bids for a "retreat and repair" contract covering initial treatment and annual inspections. Compare total 10-year costs to make an informed decision.
