The time it takes to exterminate Termites can vary but in most cases, it’s less than 24 hours. But still, this question is very hard to answer because of the many variables involved in the process. Some termites may die within one week while it can take up to six months for others. Generally, though, small infestations such as a few live termites in a kitchen cabinet could be eliminated within two weeks or less whereas large infestations can take longer.

My major concern when I bought my house in an older neighborhood was the termites. The inspector said it looked like there had been a termite infestation at one time but they were gone now and no need to worry. In fact, he said that the only thing I really needed to do each year had the ground under the house sprayed because that would prevent future infestations. What I didn’t consider at the time is how dangerous it can be to let termites get into your home, not to mention really expensive if you have to pay for professional extermination services.

The first sign of termites in my home was right around Thanksgiving when I noticed a strange clicking noise in the kitchen. I thought it was coming from the heat ducts until one day when my husband was cooking his famous Thanksgiving dinner, he cut off a finger by putting his hand right through a termite-infested cabinet door! That’s when we realized that something had to be done immediately.

My friend recommended that I call AAA Termite Control. She said that they had done a great job in her house and suggested I talk with the owner. He could take care of my termite problems for the cost of materials only. He explained that this was because his crew was so efficient at eliminating all traces of termites, there was not much left to do after they completed their work. I’ve had other companies spray my home to prevent termites but this was the first time anyone ever mentioned anything about only charging for materials.
