I really appreciated this blog post! I always thought termite foggers were the go-to solution, but your explanation made it clear why they aren’t effective. Thanks for highlighting the alternatives that actually work—definitely going to look into those!

“It’s best to call the professionals. That way, you’ll be sure that you’ve got rid of all the termites once and for all.”

There is no way to get rid of termites once and for all.
Those chemicals were banned years ago.

These are a good idea in the roof when termites fly, often roof infestations are from colonies of termites that are birthed by the queen specifically to fly and start a new colony, if you have flying termites, it would be beneficial to fog your roof the next day before they start to infest the wood and are harder to destroy and will cause damage, making sure your roof is sealed is a good idea.

When my waterbed developed a leak and I went to replace the mattress I noticed I had termites in the wood. To get rid of them I took the old mattress outside cut it into a big sheet of vinyl covered by water bed like a tent and set off 2 roach bombs under it. Two days later I set off one more and three days later I set off One more. When I moved five years later and dismantled the water bad There were no signs of termites eating my word away anymore. So in my opinion bombs work fine

In reply to Ami. Ami, thanks for your comment! None of the authors think that their readers are stupid :) We just want them to be cautious when using dangerous chemicals.

This article is useless for the DIY people out there. There is just limited information abut the overage products and most of all this article assumes that everyone is so stupid that if you try it you will for sure get hurt. Every where in this article you will see the typical “Don’t do it” caution, hire a professional instead. Vil, you must the most scared person or the best sales person that has written an article before. DIY pest control, yea right.
