What homeowners should know
Liquid termite treatment: assessment and treatment options
Where a treatment zone may be needed
Technicians assess foundation edges, entry points, slabs, porches and other construction details. Not every property has the same access or treatment requirements.
Safety and preparation
A licensed provider should explain the product, application area, precautions and any required preparation. Follow all label and service instructions, and disclose wells, drains, water features or other site conditions before work begins.
Long-term protection
Treatment is only one part of prevention. Fix moisture problems, maintain clear inspection areas and schedule follow-up according to the written service agreement.
Important: Pesticide applications should be handled by an appropriately licensed Florida pest management company. Treatment selection must follow the product label and the findings from the property inspection.
Questions to ask before work begins
- What evidence supports the termite identification?
- Which areas and methods are included in the written scope?
- What preparation, safety precautions and follow-up are required?
- Are warranty terms, exclusions and renewal requirements provided in writing?
