I hate termites!!! I don't know if you can fully get rid of them. I moved into my home about 3 years ago, and the termites showed up shortly after. I have been fighting them ever since. I went with Phoenix Pest Control. They originally came out and drilled holes around my foundation, and sprayed something in the holes, and then covered the holes back up. This kept them away for a little while, but the termites returned soon enough. Thank goodness for the warranty (I actually got a 5 year warranty since there were some misunderstandings that took place), so everytime i see a tube forming, I call them, and schedule for them to come out and spray. Depending on where you live will determine what day of the week Phoenix Pest Control will come and service your home. This can be quite a pain, as we fall into the Tuesday category, and if both my husband and I are working on the particular Tuesday, it can be a month or so before we can fit the spray into our schedule. I wish you the best of luck.
