Currently there are three types of treatments available for use by the professional: soil treatments, wood treatments, and baits. Soil treatments are liquid termiticides diluted with water to ensure adequate coverage in the soil. Injection of this system in the soil creates a treated area that repels or reduces the population of the termites and envelopes your house with a long-term protection. This is the most commonly used system and may be used in combination with baits and/or wood treatments.

Wood treatments involve treating infested wood or potentially infested wood with liquids such as a traditional treatment or borate materials. This treatment type protects the wood from infestation and reduces or eliminates the infestation in the wood at the time of treatment. Baits are relatively new and involve installing bait stations in the ground around the structure to be protected. Termites then eat the bait and transfer the active ingredient throughout the colony. This system reduces or eliminates the population of the colony feeding on the structure. Baits are very popular since there is no interior drilling and they generally are less bother for the homeowner or building occupants.
