Considering termite treatment products from Lowe’s?

If you think (or know) that you have termites in your Temecula home or business, you may be considering the purchase of a termite treatment product from Lowe’s. There are several different do-it-yourself (DIY) termite treatments available on the shelves at Lowe’s and they are relatively affordable, when compared to a professional termite treatment company in Temecula.

Admittedly, some DIY termite treatments may be able to provide a certain level of help with regard to your termite problem. That said, you should really call in a professional when dealing with termites, for a number of reasons. Let’s talk about three of the most important.

The first reason for hiring a professional to handle potential termite issues in your Temecula residence or business versus buying a termite treatment product from Lowe’s is because these professionals have a knowledge base that can be beneficial when it comes to effective termite extermination and control.

For instance, did you know that there are two types of termites that are common in the Temecula area? If you notice small piles and pellets that look like sawdust or have ant-like creatures flying around your Temecula home or business, it’s possible that you have an infestation of Drywood termites. If, on the other hand, you have small mud tunnels with flying ant-like creatures, Subterranean termites are more likely the culprit.

When purchasing a DIY termite treatment, such as a termite treatment product from Lowe’s, you may not know what type of termite you’re trying to treat. This means that you also won’t know whether that particular DIY termite treatment will effectively treat the exact type of termite you have in your Temecula home or business. Termite specialists, like those at Knockout, will be able to accurately identify what type of termites you have and recommend the best method of treatment.

The second reason for using a professional pest control expert over a termite treatment product from Lowe’s is that the recommended termite control plan varies depending on the level of termite infestation in your Temecula-area facility. The worse the termite infestation, the more aggressive the plan will need to be to effectively rid your Temecula home or business from the termites calling it home. Off-the-shelf termite treatments just won’t cut it for advanced termite infestations.

The third reason for bypassing DIY termite treatments like the termite treatment products you can buy from Lowe’s is that, if there is damage to your Temecula home or business, termite control professionals can also help you fix it. At Knockout, we even have general contractors in-house, providing you with the convenience of dealing with just one company for all of your termite control needs.

So, yes, there are several DIY termite treatments available, such as termite treatment products from Lowe’s. However, if you know or suspect that you already have termites at your Temecula location, call in the professionals to make sure you completely take care of the problem.
