There are options for those who want to try, but most don’t have the knowledge or access to chemicals needed to completely eradicate an infestation. Termite StakesTermite stakes can be an effective control method. They must be properly located and maintained. Termites take the poisonous bait back to their colony killing others. If the bait runs out, termites will find other food. Termite Poisons and ChemicalsTermites are extremely dangerous to homeowners due to the damage they can cause in a short amount of time.
