The experts said that these particular termite treatments are the most effective to kill termites. It is also said that these bait traps offer less environmental damage, and it is safer even for the interior. You can kill the whole colony if you using this method. The bait trap relies on the termite to get in contact with it and then redistribute to other termites.
The bait can either be food or liquid chemical. If it chemical, it contains active compound Hexaflumoron. If it has eaten it can kill termite within 8 weeks. In those weeks the termites will change their skin, but later on, they won’t be able to form skin again. After that, the termites will experience dehydration and die.
2. Borate
Borate is a chemical that is used to kill termites. It is common and applied directly to the wood as your home is being built. Along with spraying on the foundation decks and the work floor. Because it was done when the building was built, this method doesn’t need drilling, and won’t affect any activities you do.

3. Termiticide
Termiticide can be used when a building is done or occupied. It is done when termite infestation found in the soil and started to spread into the building. Termite will cause damage to all wood furniture, wood-frames, and others. This is the method to stop termite continuously attack your building.
It was done by drilling the floor to injects chemicals and later on will be covered again. The chemical used is slow action termiticides, which are effective to kill termites by attacking their nervous system. After in contact with the chemical, termites will spread it to the colony and affect the other termite.
4. Piping System
