Professional Termite Treatment (Fastest & Most Reliable)

Hiring a licensed pest control company is hands-down the fastest & most effective way to eliminate termites. Pros have access to tools and treatments that aren’t available over-the-counter, such as…

• Liquid termiticides – Applied around the foundation to create a protective barrier and kill termites on contact.

• Termite bait systems – Strategically placed to attract and kill termites throughout the colony.

• Foam or dust treatments – Injected directly into walls, wood, or soil where termites are hiding.

Why it’s the fastest

Professionals can identify the source, treat hidden areas, & often begin treatment the same day – stopping the infestation before it spreads further.

Spot Treatment with Termiticides

If you’re dealing with a small, localized infestation, applying a store-bought termiticide directly to affected areas can help.

• Works best for visible termite activity

• May offer quick results in a confined space

• Less effective for large or hidden infestations

Fumigation (For Severe Infestations)

In extreme cases, whole-structure tent fumigation may be the fastest solution.

• Involves sealing the home and releasing a gas to kill all termites inside

• Typically requires you to vacate the home for 2 – 3 days

• Effective against drywood termites & widespread infestations

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment involves raising the temperature of infested areas to levels that are lethal to termites (usually over 120°F).

• Fast and chemical-free

• Great for drywood termites

• Requires professional equipment

The fastest way to get rid of termites is to hire a professional who can assess the situation and apply the right treatment quickly. Even if it’s through termiticides, bait systems, or fumigation, expert help ensures the problem is handled effectively & safely.
