How to get rid of termites: what you can do yourself, and why DIY work alone does not prove an infestation is gone. Free termite inspections in Roanoke. Suspected structural termite activity calls for an inspection.
DIY steps to try first
Address water near the foundation
Fix leaks and keep gutters and downspouts working. Improve drainage so soil beside the foundation does not stay unnecessarily wet.
Move wood away
Remove stacked firewood and wood debris from beside the house. Keep vents clear and trim plants that touch exposed wood.
Record the evidence
Photograph suspected activity from an accessible location and note where you found it. Arrange identification before choosing a treatment or covering the affected area.
A product that kills visible insects is not necessarily labeled to protect a structure. EPA says most termiticide applications require a trained pest management professional.
