Hello, are there any "good" products that will
help keep termites away from foundation of house?
Foundation is cinderblock.


Termidor is the only product I would have put around the foundation only
and still expect some protection of the inside, Phantom may also do the
trick. Other products will stop activity where they are placed, but may
push the activity to areas inside such as plumbing areas or the interior
side of foundations.

I will agree with Themidor in my research it's the best thing going. Also
do not get caught up in the Baiting station thing It's throwing money away
just to sleep good at night. Have a annual inspection done. For what it's
worth Terminex was the worst Co. I dealt with, there like a used car
salesmen with a bug sprayer.

I agree with you regarding Terminix. Over the years, I've had the best
results with local independent pest control companies, both for price and
the quality of the work done. I think the worst thing is to get involved
with a year long contract for monthly treatments of any kind. Once you sign
the contract, there is no incentive for them to do a good job. When pressed
to sign a contract, I told the local man that if his work was good he
needn't worry about my staying with him for several years. And if his work
was bad, then the contract wasn't worth the paper it was written on. We have
an understanding and no contract.
