Hi, I have a rental house that got termites about 4 years ago. I had all the damaged wood replaced and then had the house treated for termites. They also installed Sentricon bait stations. They put wood in the bait stations. Each year they have been checking the bait stations quarterly. If termites were in the wood, they changed it out and put in bait. This year, they have changed the procedure and now put the bait out but only check it annually. They also say they do a visual inspection of the house, annually. I got the bill to renew the service for $240 from Arrow Exterminators. This will cover the bait stations and any type of retreat if the house gets termites again. This seems to be very expensive for what they are doing. They have also told me that they will remove the bait stations if I don't renew. They said that I didn't purchase those and was only allowed to have them as long as i renewed. I know there are other programs out there and even Home Depot has termite bait stakes.
Anyone have experience, comments or expertise to share??
Could I do the treatments myself? If yes, please share information on how to get rid of termites naturally, thanks
