How long does termite treatment last?
Chemical barriers typically last 5-10 years. Bait stations require ongoing monitoring every 4-6 weeks until the colony is eliminated, then quarterly checks.
Is termite treatment worth the cost?
Absolutely. Untreated termite damage can cost 10-50x more than prevention. A R5,000 treatment can save you R100,000+ in structural repairs.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
For chemical barriers and bait stations, no evacuation is needed. Fumigation requires 24-48 hours away from the property.
Are there payment plans available?
Many pest control companies offer payment plans for larger treatments. Ask about financing options when requesting your quote.
