No way!
Termites congregate in the thousands. It takes full-strength pest-control products and a trained professional to locate them and destroy them.
You can try baits and pesticides, but it’s unlikely that you will eradicate a significant number of the bugs—or that you’ll have the time or discipline to shoo them away for good.
The Pros have special equipment that the average homeowner is unlikely to have, like hammer drills, sub-slab injectors, rodding devices, engines equipped with pumps and protective gear.
Termites can damage or even destroy your home, so don’t fool around with homemade remedies. Call a trained professional to exterminate the nasty critters as soon as you suspect they have invaded your home.
Here are the tell-tale signs that you have a termite problem:
- Crumbling drywall
- Small holes in wood
- Insect wings
- Thin mud tubes
- Sagging doors or floors
