Connor's Pest Pros (888-284-6968) has released a guide outlining typical termite treatments in the pest control industry and which ones are the most effective.
-- The company’s latest guide details both chemical and natural treatment methods, exploring commercial options that are effective at reducing termite populations. The guide also highlights chemical-free prevention methods that can be used to exclude termites from a property before an infestation begins.

Termites inflict over $5 billion in property damage annually across the United States. A mature Eastern subterranean termite colony can consume approximately one foot of wood within six months, underscoring the importance of immediate treatment. However, Connor’s Pest Pros and other experts note that many commercial treatments are species-specific and will not always be effective on an infestation, making professional inspections paramount to determining the best course of action.
Chemical treatments are widespread in the industry and provide five to ten years of protection. Liquid termiticides are among the most common options; these are typically applied to the home’s foundations to protect against tunneling species, such as subterranean termites. By contrast, baiting systems are designed to bait termite scouts into consuming slow-acting insecticides, which will eventually be spread throughout the entire colony through trophallaxis (social feeding behavior).
For severe drywood termite infestations, fumigation is the most effective treatment. This option involves sealing the property and releasing a gaseous pesticide, usually sulfuryl fluoride, which is capable of penetrating wooden structures and killing termites at all life stages.
However, property owners who want to avoid chemical treatments also have eco-friendly options. For example, biological controls, such as parasitic nematodes, are safe for pets, humans, plants, and beneficial insects, as they only target termites as their host species. Boric acid is another option: this natural insecticide is highly toxic to insects but is not as harmful to mammals. Finally, Connor’s Pest Pros’ guide says that d-limonene, available in the form of orange essential oil, is particularly effective against drywood termite infestations, as it can penetrate wood and will dissolve termite exoskeletons on contact.
Aside from reactive treatments, Connor’s Pest Pros notes that preventative measures are a worthwhile investment. Annual inspections from a professional can alert property owners to early warning signs, allowing them to manage infestations before they result in costly damage.
