DIY Pest Control?

Breesway said

Thanks, guys.

Brennan, who do you use for termites? I was thinking about doing that on my own as well. Is it true that the only way termites can get into your house is through the foundation? I figured if we just kept it all clear and then sprayed a termite solution around, we might be ok. Our house hasn't had a termite contract since 2001 so that's why I'm looking into it now. Previous owner didn't have one and we never got one.

The problem with doing termite control by yourself, is that if you do end up getting termites you'll be screwed. A lot of home owner insurances will not pay a dime if your house is damaged by termites. However, contracting with a termite control company does usually say that if your house is damaged they will repair it when you are under contract.


They can come under your foundation and need only the tiniest space to crawl through.


I would really recommend hiring a company for this and not DIY.


I use Orkin.
