This is a job best left for professionals. If you feel you can take this job on, will help guide you through this process. They can suggest the correct insecticide or bait for the problems you have and walk you through it all.

For controlling termites ,mix some black oil with kerosene and spread it over the surface where termites are seen. It is good pest control device which we can do ourself.

First, make a map of your house that points out where the termites are. This will speed things up. You can buy liquid or bait that will kill the termites. With the bait treatment, you just dig small holes where you know the termites are and drop the bait in.

They have a little tank of stuff that you can buy and spray around your house but it didn't work when we did ours so we called the exterminator they can get ahold of stuff that is much stronger than we can.

There are different baiting systems available, liquid pesticides, as well as a product that has been around for many years called sodium borate used for termite control. You will need to identify the type of termite for effective removal.

Would highly recommend getting a trap. Put some pesticide on some of your wood soo when they come it will kill most of them as they get deeper in the wood. Remember if you want to do this on your own do research look at your options see what suits you.
