First off, I am not advising that you try to get rid of termites yourself. To get rid of your termite problem you will have to use very potent chemicals and these chemicals need specific handling. If handled wrong, they could be a potential danger to you.
You will also need to know how to determine which area around your home or other building (depending on where the termites are) to spray in order to get rid of these wood-eating insects. However, if you would like to save yourself a pile of money and are a self-confessed do-it-yourself type of person, then it is possible. It is just prudent that you gain as much knowledge as possible about termites before you begin.
Self Pest Control
The main thing you must know on how to get rid of termites yourself is where the termites are so you know where to target to exterminate them. if your would just like to do a termite prevention method (meaning you have no termites at this point) then you will need to be able to know where the termites might come in so this area can be sprayed. If you miss even one little spot, you run the risk of a termite invasion. So always be very diligent when it comes to spraying your home.
After identifying where your termites are in your structure you will need to buy a termite pesticide product. The newest termite pesticide is a product called Termidor. Termidor has been proven to be very 100% effective in all tests and trials performed. That's a pretty good guarantee, right?
Many times when you are trying to get rid of termites yourself you will probably use a termite bait system. Unlike just putting the chemicals into the soil, which by the way will only last a few years, termite baiting lets you put the pesticide directly into the ground outside around whatever structure where you have your termite infestation. The termites will ultimately find this bait, feast on it, and die. Termites baiting systems are getting better day by day.
Since using bait systems is quick and easy to do, you can also use this system to monitor for termites where they are not a visible problem yet. You can use termites bait systems where you can not use soil termicides such as objects near a well or swimming pool. Baiting systems can be used anywhere you might have a concern about using pesticides, and even where other termite treatments have failed.
