What types of termite treatments are most commonly used by professionals?

The most commonly used termite treatments by professionals include liquid soil treatments, baiting systems, localized wood treatments, and structural fumigation. Liquid treatments are widely used for subterranean termites and create a chemical barrier that disrupts colony access. Baiting systems focus on long-term colony control by affecting termite reproduction and growth. Localized treatments are suited for small or isolated drywood infestations. Fumigation is reserved for extensive drywood termite activity affecting multiple structural areas. The choice depends on termite species, infestation scope, and construction design. Industry education from Time’s Up Fumigation often emphasizes that professional selection is based on biology and building science rather than preference. Understanding common methods helps homeowners interpret treatment recommendations and long-term management strategies.
