She found the termites in the rafters in her basement. One company wants to drill holes in the house, floors, and patio. Another company says just the yard? She is in MO. Thanks!

I use to treat termites and I did it in MIssouri.I quit not long after they banned chorladain.
You do not drill holes in the house.you only need to drill where the slabs come into contact with the foundation(ex porch or rear deck patio)First off make sure they are termites,you should find tunnels don't mistake them for woodboreing beetles.
Also you can treat termites yourself with a simple solution of bleach,I had to help alot of older people that couldn't afford the treatments.So I told them the secret of using bleach.
Feel free to contact me via e-mail for any kind of help.Where at are you in mo?

unfortunately they will have to drill the holes so that they can soak the area thoroughly to kill the termites. they will fill the holes when finished so that you will not be able to tell the hole was there.
I used Orkin when I found termites and it has been over a year and I am still getting termites in the monitors. I live in KY
Orkin cost way too much and do not do as promised
