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.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

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
Here's a chart of the different treatments and costs. Might help.

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
