What are good methodes to self check for an infestation or past damage?

Depends on where you live and which termites.

Are there any good treatments available the homeowner can use?

Plenty. Termites are easy to kill, if you reach them. It's more
important to know how to use what is available. Talstar One is
available many places online, but IME eBay is the cheapest place (for
a HO) to get it.
