What is best product to use for termites?
I have termites and got two bids which are comparable around $1,100. One Company uses Sentricon which uses tubes and a bait system over a 2 year period. The tubes are in the ground, scanned and monitored periodically for termites. After that I would have to pay $275 per year annually if I want to continue. The other Company usesTermidor and provides a 1 year warranty. With Termidor they drill holes and spot treat. After that I have to pay $107 per year. Has anyone had experience with either of these? What are the advantages or disadvantages with either?
I need to treat existing termites as well as PREVENT them. How can I do both?
The systems are equally effective but work differently, and cost is also a factor. What it comes down to is the type of warranty that is offered on each and whether you can afford more money upfront. If you would rather spread the cost out, I would suggest Sentricon, whixh is used at the White House, Alamo, Statue of Liberty, etc. This system must be monitored regularly by professionals or it is 100% useless. Conversly Termidor is effective for a long period of time on its own, but it IS necessary to renew the warranty they offer.
As I said before, each form of treatment is effective at PREVENTING SUBTERRANEAN termites. Neither will effect drywoods or wetwoods and neither will effect any existing termite infestation.
