While all that is certainly an earful and may not provide much relief, it is important to take note of each point in order to reduce the cost of termite treatment as much as possible.
It is recommended to narrow down your search of termite treatment companies to about five or less.
Next, schedule an inspection with each company and also a quote from each. With each company ask if they can beat the last companies quote, and ask as many questions as you can such as what method they will be using to treat termites, how long it will take until all termite activity is halted on the premises, what sort of guarantees they offer, if any additional treatments are necessary.
Types of Termite Treatment
The most effective type of termite treatment is Termidor, and many of the major companies are using this method right now. That being said, it's not exactly the most environmentally friendly option out there.
If you're looking for a more environmentally friendly option, orange oil termite treatment is highly recommended, as it is safe for pets, children and doesn't require an enormous tent to be placed over your home
Average Termite Treatment Cost Per Foot
Although termite treatment costs can vary on several factors as mentioned previously, a good rule of thumb for how much treatment will cost you per foot is somewhere in the vicinity of $4-$7 per treated foot squared.
So if the area that needs treatment is 1000 feet squared the total cost of termite treatment should range from $4,000 - $7,000.
So, needless to say, termite treatment is a very serious investment and should not be taken lightly. Do your homework and you'll get the termite treatment you need at a price you can afford.
