Wipe Out Termites FAST! VERY EASY!

Don't spend hundreds or even thousands on termite bait stations or termite contracts. You can do the same thing with a disposable laundry detergent bottle. It's way faster too. Commercial stations take up to two years to kill a colony. This one will do it in under 12 weeks.

So glad I found your channel. Carpenter ants brought me to your site. I hired and fired 2 professional local companies as they didn’t solve my problem over a 1.5 year stint. I dug in, learned a lot, and have waged my own war on the resident ants on my property. Thank you for your service sir.

I like how you try to answer all the questions even though that the video is old. You are very kind. New subscriber here !

Watched the video a bit mesmerised, then I realised there are no termites in my country.
Then I watched the rest of the video.

This is an example of a person that can read a telephone book, and be interesting .😊

I KNEW I BEEN SAVING MY SOAP BOTTLE CONTAINER FOR SOME REASON.. THAN YOU. WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS VIDEO YEARS EARLIER. THANK YOU T HANK YOU

[dgbbgd]

Thanks for sharing this brilliant termite treatments that are cost-effective. Blessings.

Another great video. The instructions are so simple the way you explain it and the demonstration on how to bury the bait station tops off the video perfectly. Maybe you could make a video on how I can keep the doves from making nests on top of the hurricane motor box above my front door! They are so messy! Ha Ha Ha!!! Thanks Guy for assisting in another way to eliminate subterranean termites.

[rickpolidore]

Thank you for your informative videos…watched the one about the monitoring stations and how you planted them…still have a minute and a half to go but so far you haven’t demonstrated how we’re supposed to plant the bait station…hope it’s coming!

Great video Guy, and you seem a genuinely nice man to listen to and probably to work with on termites. I don't even have them and I enjoyed listening to you tell us about this solution. Thank you.

[jerseygirl]

Wow! This is amazing. Wish I would have seen this 2 years ago. The cost was $2, 600. Thank you.

Quick tip: The Dollar General generic detergent bottles don't have the spout thingy in them. Less work. You're welcome.

Thanks again for another great video. I'm in AZ and I had subterranean termites in my home and had tubes hanging from my ceiling. I drilled the ceiling everywhere I saw a tube and sprayed into the attic, and I haven't seen another sign of termites in well over a year now. I also treated around my house per your recommendations, and I'm working on making several monitoring stations.

How can I tell if I have Formosan or another species of termites that this will not be effective for?

[arthur-rizo]

I'm going to give it a try on the termite station. I used two detergent bottles last week making a mouse/rat station using a mix of baking soda 4 parts, jiffy mix 4 parts and sugar 1 part.🐭🐀

Hi Guy,
Very useful video and great service to the global community 👍🏽. Just to add to this, in my experience Jute sacks used to pack food grains are also very much attracted to termites and even better Bait than cardboard.

[IsgoodbeKing]

As always, my buddy guy,
You been help me so much like 2-3 years ago with termites, best wishes from hot hot florida,
I will do the other video for prevention, since thank to you is clean,

[Lyle_]

Utilized Taurus SC 2019 after I found dirt tunnels and problem solved. Every so often I'll soak wood scraps in Taurus mix and plug those into the yard .. in case a stray termite gets hungry.

Thank you for your generous heart. This will save many houses from partial or complete destruction 💥

Hi, this channel and you are serving people across the globe with issues they are worried about. Great work.
I need your advice on protecting wood planks for long term. Iam in the process of building a new house. Part of the flooring will be raw solid wood made from tree trunks. The foundation of the building is already done pre construction termite treatment using Bayer Premise. Before pouring concrete we applied the chemical mix inside the foundation area then laid back a moisture barrier sheet over the soil, then poured concrete mix over the sheet. The concrete floor again finished with cement plastering. I am planning to add another layer of moisture barrier, PVC sheet, then
screw down raw wood planks to the floor with screw and fisher.
Before that I like to treat the planks for termites. What would you suggest?.
My ideas are
1 Applying borax powder mixed with water and apply it to wood with paint brush or with a sprayer.
1 Applying Bayer Premise or Agenda solution with paint brush or sprayer.
Or I expect something more foolproof from your side.Thanks.

I really appreciate your videos and you freely imparting your expertise. I already learned a lot from watching the ones about termites! We have lived in termite infested rented houses for the last 20 years and we have had massive damage to many things we own, including video tapes and our wedding album. I have never seen an effective termite treatment done (by various companies) in the houses we lived in over the years.

Every area in the city has termites except if you are within a few hundred yards from the ocean. Question: how do I protect our new house in the Philippines? We did soil treatment against termites during construction about 7 years ago. Our house is using as little wood as possible: mostly built with steel post & beams, reinforced concrete walls & floors, inside walls are fiber cement board on metal framing with a metal roof on steel purlins and aluminum windows.

Only doors, doorframes and build-in cabinets are made from wood. As an example every previous house we lived in had door frames and window frames eaten by termites. Our current house had termites during construction in spite of the soil treatment, especially since we had a construction pause for a few years due to medical issues in our family. During that time much of our coco-lumber scaffolding was eaten by termites. We found many termite ducts on the concrete walls. We removed the infested scaffolding wood when we continued construction about 18 months ago.

About 6 months ago, when replacing the metal flashing of our firewall we discovered sandstone-like above-ground nest of about 8 inch diameter and 20 inch length inside an 8 inch hollow space between our concrete firewall and the neighbors concrete perimeter wall. It did not appear to have live termites in it, but we could not pull it up. We treated the 8 inch cavity between the two 40 feet long walls with termiticide and destroyed the nest.

The Philippines has multiple species of termites, but about 90% of property damage in the Philippines is caused by the subterranean Coptotermes species. In the previous house we experienced thousands of flying termites swarming the house and the whole neighborhood during May, usually lasting for at least a week. I do not know if that is the same species.

When moving from the termite infested rented house 3 months ago, we threw out dozens of termite eaten books in boxes and many other damaged items, but some termites might have transferred with the apparently undamaged household items in boxes which we have not all unpacked. Can termites travel with the things we moved?

My main question is: how do we start? I will share a few of our current concerns. I checked the few visible termite ducts on walls that were not yet touched by construction activity. We have not seen them change or grow for over a year, so we assumed that the termites withdrew. How do I make sure they are inactive or dead?

There are also still a few hundred "undamaged" pieces of coco-lumber stored on our lot near an outside wall as we may still need it when painting the outsude walls Should we remove them or treat them with termiticide?

Hundreds of coco-lumber pieces we threw out have been rotting on a neighboring lot about 30 yards away from our house. Do they still pose a problem?

We also have about 30 sheets 4' x 8' of brand-new 3/4th inch laminated plywood which will be used for furniture within the next 3 months. None of the new wood available locally is "treated". The wooden doors we mounted were painted with Solignum insecticide, but some pre-fabbed melamin doors cannot be treated at all. Also our doorframes were neither pressure treated nor treated with any kind of insecticide. How do we best protect our wood inside the house?

The combination of moisture and fixed wood has always attracted the most termites in our observation. Therefore we are careful to keep the house and all wood as dry as possible in our humid tropical climate.

During construction we added a termiticide distribution system using a network of PVC pipes in gravel under our 100 square meter concrete floor slab, because we were told the soil treatment during construction would only last for a few years. I can send you some photos, if you are interested. We have not used the system yet, as I still want to find out what is the correct termiticide to use. Which chemical would you recommend? Fipronil? We can also easily dig a trench around 3 sides of our house, except the firewall side. Should we do that?

Our soil is very dense silt which feels like sandstone, and we had to use a jackhammer to excavate a small basement room during construction. It is well drained and does absorb water properly but slowly.

This question has become a lot longer than I thought. I realize that we have not really done enough about the termite risk before moving in and we really need to develop a strategy. We are still working on many finishing tasks inside the house; for example the kitchen cabinets still need to be built. Therefore I really want to get things right before we add more built-in furniture to the house. We would appreciate any advice you can give us.
