Apparently, we’ve got both wood and subterranean types. We’ve been offered a quote for both chemical fumigation (which I am adamantly against), and heat treatment from two companies. One of the companies has indicated they have seen no success with heat treatment, which would be my preferred method. Any Poalrs have experience with heat treatment? Or advice?

If it's a small infestation, neem oil and boric acid could help. Boric acid kills termites by ingestion & neem oil kills by direct contact and also acts as a repellant.

Thank you for the reply. Apparently, it’s not a small infestation. It’s in at least 4 different areas of the house.

Thank you. We did the orange oil spot treatment, which seemed to work for a little while, but the termites seemed to come back even stronger lol. I’m really looking for input if anyone has used the heat method.
