First, you need to determine which type of termite it is. Subterranean or Drywood, as the treatment methods are very different. For Drywood you would likely perform a structural fumigation (known as “tenting”), but local spot treatments are options as well. For Subterranean termites, you will treat the ground around the home with either a liquid termiticide or a bait system. Your exterminator should be able to explain your options and give a recommendation as to which option they believe is best for you and your home.
