Hello;

I had exterminators look at my house, because of a small termite
problem. They gave me a free estimate and the total is going to be
around $2200.00 for everything including the bait spikes they will put
in the ground inside and outside around my house which would include
monthly change-out for about a 2 year plan...does this sound like a
good price? I don't know anything about this, $2200.00 (or more) seems
expensive to me. Is there something I could do myself? Could I buy
these bait/poison spikes somewhere and install them myself? This all
started when I found mud trials and rotted lumber in my cellar. Thanks
for any help.

Does that price include a yearly contract that will pay to have any new
damage repaired ? If so, the yearly costs might be around $125-150 and
will be well worth it if you get any major damage. If you get the
contact make sure they document any existing damage so they can't claim
any new damage was old and there to start with.

If you do it yourself you might/might not get them all and you would be
responsible for any damage that you couldn't see until it's too late.
