Cost for treating termites?
My husband noticed some termites yesterday, so now we have to call an exterminator and get the house treated. I was wondering if anyone here has had this done, and if so, how big is your home (mine is 24x76), and how much did it cost? I know it's not cheap, but am curious about other people's experiences as well as what to expect when I get the estimates for treatment cost. Thanks!
Hi,
In my area, Eastern NC, for the most part you have to have a contract with a pest exterminator and own your own land..as for cost...depends upon the company you choose and the extend of extermination you need.
You can get extermination products and treat yourself, but I personally would use a professional.
Once the termites have been treated then you will need to see what is needed for repairs of the damaged wood.
I am going to move this to the OT (Off Topic) forum as this is not a repair question.

The difference between success and failure is who gives up first!
Well we own our own land, so that's not a problem. I'm going to call Terminex and Orkin today and schedule an evaluation with both of them to see what it's going to cost. I have looked up termite information, and I don't think we have a major infestation, nor do I want it to get that far. I definitely don't want to try to treat this myself. This is a job for the pros.
Sorry about posting in the wrong spot. I'll get this forum figured out eventually.

I would call a few of the better known companies for estimates. We had a home in the park that my wife manages that was infested with cockroaches and there was almost a $200 spread in prices. Greg

Hi

Aside from the roof leak, soft floors, rats, mice and bursted plumbing ........ how do you like it?
My MIL just paid Orkin $1,680 for Termite treatment on the DW we just bought from her.
They trenched and sprayed/injected a chemical around exterior and interior perimeter of block skirting wall.
Did same around each block column pier and all pipes and injected foam in blocks every 8"-10" for 10 ft. out in each direction from end of damage.
Good for 1 year with renewal at $236 per year option.
Whether we're pleased or displeased will be known at end of our top brass from that branch pow-wow with me Weds. afternoon.
Take care and best wishes,
Robert
