Tenting vs. non-tenting termite treatment.?

I have seen advertising about a termite treatment that doesn't require tenting or evacuating. Is it as effective as tenting? I have discovered some termite fragg inside the house where the aluminum porch connects to the wood roof structure of our house so treatment is mandatory but I'm not sure how well the non-tent service works. Any drawbacks? We really don't want to evacuate because we have 2 dogs.

    But wait, there's more. With a drywood termite infestation, there's usually more problems than you can find (without partial demolition), so a full structural fumigation is preferred. You may be lucky and have just the one problem area in which case Premise foam or Termidor Dry can be applied into their nest by your skilled technician. It is a gamble, though. If you can get a skilled inspector with a Termatrac radar unit, you might be able to see if they are widespread BUT a knowledgeable inspector will NEVER say that there are no other termites. If your inspector does, find another. If you're lucky it will just be carpenter ants or beetles and a spot treatment can easily fix those.

    Some people may achieve control with the Nisus boron products, but I see them more as preventatives to add later. Orange oil is good for cleaning showers.

    on the time to procure the domicile, did you have an inspection executed by utilising a qualified inspector? the biggest subject isn't removing the termites, this is to what quantity is the wear and tear that they've already executed? Termites burrow and chunk into the wood shape and help beams of the domicile and weaken it to the quantity that it will crumple at last.Killing them would not remedy the subject. An estimate must be executed to be certain how plenty harm has been executed already.
