❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which termite treatment to choose?
Subterranean termites: Termidor or Sentricon. Drywood termites (most common in California, Hawaii, and Florida): fumigation if widespread, or localized heat/Boracare if contained. Your pest control company should identify the species before recommending treatment.
How long does termite treatment last?
Termidor: 10-year product claim; 5-10 years in practice. Sentricon/bait systems: ongoing — requires annual monitoring and bait replenishment. Fumigation: kills 100% of termites at the time but provides no residual protection against new infestations.
