To get rid of termites, pest control companies use some of the industry’s most advanced and effective treatments. As a result, many termite treatments can help to control other insects such as ants or beetles. However, because the treatments are formulated specifically for termites, they may be less reliable if used against other pests.
Liquid termiticides use potent chemicals that are highly effective against termites. Since termiticides are so strong, they may also affect other insects and pests around your property. Here are some of the pests that may be impacted by a nearby termite treatment:
Liquid termite treatments can kill a variety of other insects such as crickets or cockroaches. However, baiting stations are a little different. They don’t use as potent of a chemical, and they’re designed specifically to target termites. For that reason, baiting stations are rarely effective against other insects, except for the occasional carpenter ant.
If you have other pests around your property in addition to a termite infestation, it’s best to work with a qualified termite control professional. They can help you choose the most effective treatment for the species you’re dealing with.
Leaving strong chemicals around your property without professional guidance is never advisable. However, if the bait stations or liquid treatments are applied and monitored by an expert, you have nothing to worry about. Licensed exterminators take your safety and your pets into account when creating a custom treatment plan. They’ll choose the right formula to protect everyone on your property, and they’ll select strategic locations for the treatment so it doesn’t jeopardize your health.
