Preventative termite treatment?

Recommended Posts

My neighbor said she hires a company to apply orange oil to prevent termites. I haven't noticed anything myself, but when I bought the property 4 years ago, it required termite treatment, and that involved tenting with toxic chemicals (no food, pets, etc.). The company my neighbor uses has only 2.3 stars on Yelp, so I called another company with 4.9 stars, which advertises orange oil. They say they only treat for actual infestations, not for prevention. There does seem to be some sense in a simple preventative care, to avoid more costly and difficult treatment later. But what do I know? Is there any sense in termite prevention? Do any of you do this?

Used this method in my old condo building and it worked well.

for termites or your tricks?

I've lived in N Carolina, Florida & Texas all know for termite problems and stick built houses...never had a problem. In Mexico, pure concrete home, had termites, wtf? Treated with holes drilled in floors and treated with some chemical injected, no more problems.
