Termite solutions- sentricon baits vs termidor liquid
I’ve got a rental property that I am doing rehab on. It’s got some termites, that I will be signing a pest control company on to do treatment for. I’m also having the termite damaged wood removed and replaced with new wood when I redo the back siding in the next 4 weeks. I don’t want to mess around with homeowner grade stuff from Lowe’s or whatnot, and am willing to pay a fair amount to start getting these under control professionally. Previously I was trying to do everything myself but I’m willing to pay the pest companies for this at this time. Do you guys recommend using a sentricon bait system, or a termidor SC liquid trenching and drilling application? I can get the sentricon bait system that will average out to a total cost of $484 per year over 5 years. Or the liquid Termidor treatment would average out to $360 per year over a 5 year period. I have heard both sides of the argument from pest control companies. Any advice?
