Can termite tenting keep away the termites forever?
Termite tenting provides effective results for existing infestation but it is not a prevention technique.
It might eliminate the active drywood termite infestation but does not provide protection against future infestations.

Termite treatment for a property should be selected depending on various factors like the species of termites, the severity of the infestation and more. It is best to consult a professional termite exterminator before deciding on a treatment. Here are some termite treatments and the duration for which they last.
● Termite Baits – Kill and prevent termite infestations. Monthly and quarterly monitoring and maintenance are needed.
● LiquidTermiteTreatment – Kills and prevents termite infestations. Lasts longer than baits. Regular maintenance of the chemical barrier is required.
● TermiteTenting – Most effective in getting rid of severe drywood infestations.The results last for around 5 years when paired with preventative treatments.
● HeatTreatment – Good substitute for termite tenting. Should be paired with preventative treatments to keep away future infestations.
