The Subterranean Termite Treatment Blueprint

Subterranean termites are not an insect problem sitting on your house. They are a soil problem that has found your house. This blueprint explains what each treatment physically does, what it costs, and what a correctly executed job looks like on your property.

What's inside

• The three legitimate strategies compared: liquid soil barrier, baiting systems and physical barriers
• Which strategy fits which structure — slab, crawl space, hardscape, previous failures
• The liquid barrier step by step: trenching, rodding, drilling, voids, backfill and documentation
• The volume test — the arithmetic that catches under-application on your own service ticket
• Baiting step by step, and the realities nobody mentions at the quote stage
• Cost, duration and warranty ranges, and how to read a retreatment-only warranty against a repair bond
• The first twelve months after treatment: what is normal and what is a red flag
• Why treatments fail — eight causes, none of which are the chemistry
• What a homeowner may and may not legally do
• A post-treatment verification checklist

Who it's for

Homeowners with confirmed subterranean activity who are about to spend four figures and want to supervise the work rather than hope.
