To recap: We treated this concrete slab home for termites. All you need to complete this treatment is a 5 gal bucket, termiticide chemical, water, shovel, and gloves. First, measure the outside perimeter of the structure. This will tell you how much chemical you need to buy. You will need to purchase about .32 fl oz of chemical per 1 linear foot. Second, dig a trench along the outside perimeter of your home, deep enough so the chemical doesn’t run out. Third, mix the chemical with water as according to the label. Always follow label instructions. Fourth, apply the mixture to the soil and let is soak in. Then that’s about it, just clean up and rinse the pesticide container before you throw it away.
Comment any questions you have below!
I recommend using the chemicals Taurus SC or Termidor SC. Both chemicals will give you at least 10 years of termite protection (if done correctly). You should be able to find them to purchase on line.

If I had this done professionally all around the house perimeter 2 years ago and I’m having an inspection done now would it still pass the inspection
How to with Doc has a solid video on this also. These 2 videos are the best ones I’ve seen.
Educate your audience on PPE. You’re using one of the strongest products available on the market and have no safety glasses, chemical resistant gloves, waterproof boots or anything. Teach them to give a minimum 6” gap between your water source and what you fill. Any lil kid who goes up to that water source on the side of the home for drink of water is now at risk due to splash back. Your channel is awesome. Just some feedback.
amazing video quality! i'm so psyched for your stomp series whenever you find the bugs hehe
Thank you! Yes me too. I’m just waiting for the weather to warm up so I can get some bugs
@@DanTheBugMan that's the hope!. spring is almost here so i'm curious to see which ones will be the first to meet fate lol
That 'piece of wood' you pulled out of the bait station is actually an always active fipronil type bait station. That is one they eat, take back to the colony and destroy the nest.
They are great, but they are not a single service solution IMO. They rely too much on pot luck of termites finding them.
Great job on explaining the process thoroughly!
Dan is the man!!!
:D
Best video on UA-cam
I don’t know about that lol but I appreciate it
I actually do general pest control in Ca and we use toures sc 6 months out the year. The house I live in has termites and your video is giving me the blue print. Active ingredient in toures is fipronil.
Good to hear! Yeah Taurus does great. It seems like fipronil is the magic ingredient. That’s what’s in Termidor also. We use Taurus instead of termidor because it’s about 30% cheaper and does just as well
@@DanTheBugMan yes sir I hear you on that. If you need any advice give me a message. I've been in the industry for 6 years now I have a field representative license in Ca.
@@DanTheBugMan I am going to order the 78oz Taurus tomorrow. I know it has the same active ingredient but is there amy difference at all with the other ingredients and effectiveness? Will both last at least 10 years?
Where can I buy the stuff?
Amazon
Someone needs to make a termaticide you can mix with concrete.
the weather doesn't look prime for bug season yet but they're just waiting to come out and harass people again in spring lol. you really do know how to exterminate them!,,i imagine they fear seeing you guys when the time comes. good job on the cameraman too keeping steady.
Yeah it’s still a little early in the year for bugs here. But they will start coming out soon! Thanks, yeah my friend helped a lot
@@DanTheBugMan do you have an idea in mind what will come out first?
S ants and termite colonies are usually active in early spring. Usually the smaller insects come out first also. We’ve been seeing a lot of ants here already
@@DanTheBugMan termites and ants...excellent candidates!. smaller ones can be tricky cause they can get trapped in grooves. but i think if you found the Queen, that will be the greatest one to test it out haha
Do you ever treat attic crawl spaces or just the perimeter and cracks?
The one thing i don't like about US videos are they still use imperial measuring system instead of international metric system. Very recalcitrant of them. But not your fault, its the authority's fault. I still gave a thumbs up ;)
Dan, keep saving us money. You covered yourself when you said follow the instructions & wear PPP. I LOVE YOU & GUY PEST CONTROL CHANNEL. I have two questions: 1. I have a circular driveway in front of my house. Should I also trench from the street up to the house and around & next to the U shape? 2. What's the best sprayer ( I dont care about the cost) to reach the untreated wood in my attic of my Florida home?. I'm a female & I don't ont want to go all the way up on the beams in the attic to spray. Is there a sophisticated sprayer or fogger that reaches to the other side of a 1600 sq feet house? I want to buy Bora Care & the dye to spray my own attic as a pre- treatment to getting my tent in November. A Tent alone is useless .
I think youre confusing the knock off bait stations with the active ingredient stations with RecruitHD
I don't know the codes for all states, but many require a termite soil treatment under the slab before it is poured & soil treatments before structure is built over a crawlspace.
Mix rates administered by state regulations make a soil pretreatment not very effective .
Informative video. How do you protect house from the termites entering under the concrete driveway?
Do one or both: trench & treat the perimeter of concrete; drill holes in concrete & inject termiticide. There are videos & label instructions for both methods. For example, some drill 1/2" wide holes 12" apart along perimeter of garage floor, walkway, driveway, patio, etc & inject termiticide like Taurus SC. Add DIY bait stations, too. You can find video for that online. Don't ever use termite repellants bx you want them to injest & spread toxin to kill the colony. I'm not sure repellants work anyway.
Hey dudes, great video! Got a question. How do you treat a house with basement?
Great question. You actually treat it exactly how I treated this home. Just make sure you establish a perimeter barrier ans use enough of the chemical solution
Dan you should a video on how to make your own in wall tube straying kit with a paintball tank.
I’m not sure what that is?? Haha for termites?
3 years late, but maybe you are still answering questions: Is the a preventative treatment, or is this for a current infestation?
How do you prevent for drywood termites or other termites that don't nest underground?
Just subscribed. Thanks for an informative video. Can you do a video how to treat dry wood termites?
Thank for the great content. I have subterranean termites and am looking to use this method. I have a dog. Will my dog get sick if he steps on the treated surface after it has soaked into the ground? He also likes to chew on grass around the house too. Should I put up a barrier to make sure he doesn't eat contaminated grass?
As long as the chemical soaks into the ground it’ll be completely safe. This stuff is specifically destined for insects and doesn’t do much to mammals. Just don’t ingest it
What if termites are already in walls?
Where do you buy these chemical products? Can I buy this stuff at a store?
Baits DO work. They aren't just pieces of wood in soil. There are at least 2 types of bait. For an infestation, I'd trench & add bait stations. If there are no signs of activity, use 2 or more types of bait. IGRs are the slowest acting, but they do work.
My builders did the same crap you mention at 13:40 . Just putting in bait stations. They actually wanted $560.00 for their annual renewal. What a rip off. They obviously know its better to treat the home. But they want to make money on an annual contract. I treated my home myself once the building inspection was done and told them to get lost.
Good for you! Yeah that makes me sick. Puts a bad name on the pest control industry also. 560 for walking around your house and looking at pieces of wood in the ground?? Our annual inspections are only about $100
Bro if I got a 20 oz how many gallons of water can I mix that with
With this product do you just go around the main part of the house or do you do the driveway, carport and walkways?
A couple of things... Dan is missing PPE. The label specifies Gloves & Long Sleeves (not rolled up.) Also, read and follow the instructions on the label exactly. It is violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Not "This is close enough, you don't have to be exact." In this case, the minimum trench depth is 6" or to the bottom of the footing. "Just 3-4 inches" as done in the video is not consistent with the labeling. If you're doing it yourself, I recommend doing it in 10 foot sections for consistency. Trench 10 feet, mix your concentrate, pour, fill.
Well you are correct in all those regards. I was trying to make the video simple and understandable for the average person to still do it correctly. PPE is most important.
Awesome video, very informative! Had my place built 2020 and have the centricon that NW is charging me $375 a year for. No way,! i dont do subscriptions, only one time long term thing. So i have had them come remove the stations and getting the liquid treatment done to cover 5-10years.
Thank you! Yeah I agree. 375 is way too high especially annually. Liquid treatment is way more efficient. Companies only do the bait stations because it’s more recurring service
Plus, you never own the bait stations.
Do the Bayer pellets work as well?
I don't get your videos. I a pesty still trying to learn but i have been told that your supposed to mix the soil in a a container with the chemical and fill the trench with the soil
Me and a friend did this hard work but I have a question. After doing all the digging and adding the SC, after about four or five days it started raining a lot. It rained about a day and it flooded the whole yard. Will this ruin the sc from killing the termites? Thanks for the video.
Great to hear. Yes it’s hard work digging that trench. But 4-5 days is plenty of time so you shouldn’t worry about it. Them chemical is created so it binds to the soil particles and the rain won’t effect it. Thanks for watching!
He didn't drill the garage use a pressure rised termite rig nor the right product
What if my soil has pebbles in it and how much is too much? My soil has large pebbles on top so it’s mixed in. Should I add back store bought dirt first?
Did the treatment work ?
12:45 I hate those plastic things in the ground, they actually load them with attractants for the termites. When the termites come and eat it, because you've been shouting to them to come near your house, they can then say "oops, you have termites". I would prefer to do the trench treatment you have around the house and do another one around the perimeter of the property.
Bait is way more effective than liquid.
@@jamesbruce2748 My understanding is that the bait attracts them so you see they are present, you then proceed to use liquid to eradicate them. You're saying the bait has insecticide in it already?
What a MAJOR HOOK UP YO....I live in NY and I am very interested in this product. I had a swarm in my upstairs window and that is when I said F$@$% ME....thanks to your video bro
Hi Dan…nice video! Do you also recommend Navigator SC? Thanks
Think I should treat my parents house this summer. And better yet, you’ll help me? 👍🏼
I will gladly do it :)
Hey Dan, I'm going to be treating my house with Termidor. My question is, on 1 entire side of my house is a concrete driveway which runs right up to my foundation. I live in an older house with a basement. How do I treat this side seeing I can't dig a ditch?
Hi Dan, love your videos, very helpful and helps me to save lots of money! Much appreciated! Is there any way to do preventative termite treatment that isn’t a bait station nor requires any trenching around the home?
You've lost your mind if you this is effective
Do you like the Taurus Sc better than Bifen I/T
Taurus SC is a Non repellent, not detected by termites, kills the entire colony. And Bifen I/T is a repellent, detected by termites (like OFF for mosquitoes).
I heard someone else say to spray the dirt that is put back. I do not have a sprayer so how can I do that and do I spray it with the same solution? Once I dig the trench and pour in the solution should I also add bait stations?
how cam i treat the underground termite ,its a big mountain
Is this effective if you already have termites? We just inherited a house and there are active termite tunnels. It's a slab foundation. Thanks!
Thanks, kid! ☺️🤍
Dan my house is 2900 two stories. Can you please tell me what it would be in linear feet and also how deep you dig the trench and what is the promotion to water and taurus
What’s good for a mobile home ?
So if you don't need to treat the backfill, then is it ok to dig the top soil for gardening above the treatment? They always say not to disturb the soil against the house.
Hey man love your videos can I ask a silly question
What it go under my home snd spray the floorboard for underneath extra protection yes or no ? Will be useful lol
We bought a house with an extension both have concrete slabs. We found termites in the shower but can't find how they are getting in. We think they are coming up through the join in the concrete, what can we do?
Yeah termites can get into a structure through the very smallest cracks, so finding out where they are getting in isn’t super important. If you want to treat the home yourself then just buy the correct product and treat it as shown. Or you can always call a local pest company and get a professional opinion
@@DanTheBugMan Will doing the perimeter with liquid solution kill the termites Inside the home?
To get rid of the termites you need to drill inside a crack has formed you just can't see them a slab on average is 4 to 6 hrs
Also you not measuring how far you need to fill per bucket of chemical
On a 2200sqft new construction
How many gallons to treat entire form with Taurus sc?
My family noticed a few months ago a termite trail in the concrete/foundation next to the garage door on the outside of our house. We’ve been meaning to call someone about it but have been lacking the funds, if there’s already a trail would this method still work?
Yes, it will still work. These are subterranean termites so they live underground and go up that mud tube to eat. As they are coming and going they will be getting the chemical on them and spreading it to the others and the colony will be dead. Patience is key. It can take a few weeks to destroy the colony.
Thank you Dan for the explanation
Here in Miami is crazy how many people has trouble with a. LOT OF DIFERENTE kinds of termites and is a frame house
Awesome I will do it even if a only see big ants around just to prevent
Onequestion ?
A lot of pro I call they says will last no more that 5 years even using termidor sc
Your suggestions about it
Great! Yeah that will kill ants also. In most cases Taurus and termidor last 10 years before they start to break down. Now that could change depending on how well the treatment was done and depending on how much water is circulating through the soil
They always use the phrase "up to" because it always depends on something.
Thanks for the vid, we have a cabin with a shallow water well, I don't want this washing into the water table but I've found termites in the crawlspace...not certain which way to go
Thanks for watching! Just apply it right next to the house when its not scheduled to rain for a few days. The product is suppose to bond to the soil particles so it wouldn't wash away
@@DanTheBugMan Hi again, Im from the Philippines and its typhoon season out here now, long back last summer I have done trenching job with Termidor SC around the perimeter of my house. Will rain wash away the effectiveness of Termidor SC. Theres no flooding that happened around the trenched area, I have kept some huge umbrellas to protect this area from rain, but unfortunately cant protect all sides of my house. It all depends on the direction of the wind so the rain sometimes hit the trenched area. Please need your advice. Ive watched some of your Tiktok videos on termites, thanks much for all your tips.
14:35 I am on a slab. I had a Bugman come spray inside & put a gel bait inside (which I didn't like) & sprayed outside. I still have ants coming inside. I saw your video using the sprays inside & out. Will that work if I have an an infestation?
Hi Dan, thanks for the video. Very informative. What would be the way to go in a townhouse with an active infestation of dry wood termites? The house is attached to the other 2 townhouses, leaving only space for treatment in the front and back of the property?. In fact, the backside of the property is a patio, with the outdoor flooring around the foundation made of concrete. It`s only in the front where I could dig as you did in the video. What would you recommend? Does it make any sense to make this kind of treatment? If not, what`s the most efficient for the dry wood ones? Thank you!
inject into the walls ...do you own it ?
I have a critical question, as per say digging 6 inch deep by 6 inch wide, but termite can be as deep as 20 ft. below the ground, so they can bypass the 6 inch deep trenching with termiticide. Thanks for your advice tip.
They still have to crawl up through the treated dirt to gain access. Expansion joints and water pipes entering the slabs should also be treated for the reason you say.
Did not understand how 78 Oz ok for 204 Linear ft ..Please write for me..
Yes sure thing!…. This is all based off the label. Just requires some math
The label says apply .8 fl oz of concentrate per gallon of finished solution. This is the dilution rate…. Then, it says apply 4 gallons of finished solution per 10 linear feet of soil you are treating. That means for every 10 linear feet you will use 3.2 fl oz of concentrate (.8 x 4)…. So if you need 3.2 fl oz of concentrate per 10 linear feet, then you need 65.2 fl oz of concentrate for 204 linear feet. So 78 is more than enough, you would actually only need 65 fl oz for a adequate treatment
Is there any benefit to calling 2 or 3 local pest control companies to give me a free estimate to get info and knowledge of my property issues? Or should I just do the liquid perimeter right away?
Yeah I would give at least one a call. They can do a free inspection and just get some professional eyes on it to make sure its nothing out of the ordinary. The only downside is that you might get a call back or two trying to sell you the treatment, at least that's our companies protocol.
What about driveways/porches in front of the garage.
Just skip over the driveways. If it’s a front porch or something small treat the soil around it
same method for sand?
Props on the initiative here and the desire to help people, but usually it would be best to understand the process before you attempt to teach it to others. No down drilling of porches, incorrect linear footage, not even mentioning treating the tub traps in the house, which are notorious for being the root causes of many a Subterranean infestation. People without a State issued termite license can’t apply that material, PER THE LABEL OF THE MATERIAL. The label is the law, and anyone can be held liable for misuse.
Make a video doing it better than.
And also why is it termidor can be bought in every state but MA, MN, NY, SC, CT, IN and VY. If it's illegal like your saying, then it should be illegal to purchase like it is in these states. Not trying to be a dick, but I'd love to actually know.
What recommendation do you have for a townhomes? Does it still work if only able to do my properties perimeter? Hope I made sense.
Yeah I think that makes sense. Like you are connected to other homes on the side. So in that case I would recommend just treating whatever sides of the home you are able to. Only put the chemical right next to the house. No need to do anything outside in the yard or perimeter
@@DanTheBugMan thank you
How about bioadvanced by Bayer termite killer granules I think they called it?
My question as well. I put down the granules a month ago and thinking about reapplication in about 4 months.
Bayer is a trustworthy insecticide company. I just looked it up. I think this product could help prevent termite infestation. However, I wouldn't use it if you know you have termites. This could offer some peace of mind though to help prevent them from foraging for food around you home.
So basically if you don't have termites this will help you keep from getting them. Hope this helps.

How does one treat overhangs, and in an attic?
No need to treat an attic area. The termite colony lives in the ground so as long as you treat the soil it will kill the colony
How about your house is all concrete in the outside to put the termite treatment.
Do you have a dirt crawlspace? Or maybe if it’s just some concrete you can reach the dirt next to it. If it’s all concrete you need to drill holes
Best as u don’t have to be very accurate with pouring the chemical
yes I agree. Get as close as you can but don't have to be perfect
Opesss I did it double the strength bo wonder why my bottle finished so quick lol
You should always treat your backfill
Also sentricon uses an always active bait not just wood. Sentricon is a great product but does not replace liquid
is Talstar good to use for the treatment around the perimeter like your doing?
No I would not use Talstar.
Hello. Will it help if termites are on the roof?
no, this is for subterranean termites only. Drywood termites do not liver underground
I treated my home with spectracide terminate termite and ant Carpenter killer concentrate it says it's a barrier treatment can I still use Taurus SC or Termidor and will it still work? I did this about 3 weeks ago
Yes go ahead and use taurus or termidor. Those other products probably did next to nothing and will have no effect on the treatment
Is Cyper TC a good termiticide?
I wouldn’t recommend cyper tc for termites. Even though it is labeled for termites, the active ingredient will only kill termites that come in contact and will not kill off the colony like other products would
Hello, I live in north texas. I have subterranean termites swarming on my hall floor, they are coming out of a wall which is right in middle of my home, they are probably coming along side plumbing in wall. So if i do this treatment would that help pls? Also I have big driveway to garage, back porch and front porch all concrete, Can i skip those areas or i should do around them or I need to drill holes. Thank you so much for your help.
Howdy! Yes this treatment will work perfect for that situation. You should treat as much soil around the outside perimeter of the house as you can. If the porches aren't too big, then go ahead and treat the soil around those as well. Drilling holes would only be necessary if more than 50% of the home's perimeter soil is not accessible
Thanks so much for your response! I guess overall i can access >50% of soil around home. So looks like I can avoid drilling holes and keep around foundation and probably little bit around my front and back porches/drive ways. Just one quick follow up though, wall which we know is infested do we need to do something just for that wall or not necessary! Thank you so much again for your help!
That’s a concrete home , can concrete homes get termites ?
Well they can get up to the wood but can’t eat concrete
would you buy a cenent/concrete property and treat it if it is infested with termites?
If there are already termites in the home then it definitely needs to be treated. Just be sure to figure out how much damage they have caused to the wood before you buy it
@@DanTheBugMan thanks
Dan my house is 2900 sq feet and two stories. Can you please tell me what it would be in linear feet and also how deep you dig the trench and what is the promotion to water and taurus
What about those concrete slab in the garage?
Just treat it normally as you would the rest of the house. Just get the chemical into the soil around the outside perimeter!
@@DanTheBugMan hi, your video is the first ive seen that didnt drilled through concrete slab and advised to just treat around its perimeter, some even drilled through tiles as if termites can penetrate through them. i think your advice makes much more sense, it should work as long as the house is fully surrounded with the chemical. our house is surrounded with concrete slab then chb wall as perimeter fense, if i drill thorugh the concrete slab right beside the house, treat, then plug the holes, termites can just safely climb the concrete slab going to the house without even touching the treated soil. i have a rotary hammer so drilling should not be a problem but i dont want to waste time, money, effort, applying the chemical that will not work at all. does it make more sense if instead of drilling our concrete slab, i will treat the soil of the adjacent house right after our chb perimeter wall? basically, i will treat the soil at most 3 meters away from our house instead of drilling through the concrete slab few inches right beside our house. pardon my english but hopefully you or someone can give an advice. tnx
oninster84 thanks for watching! Yea drilling is almost never necessary, only sometimes. As long as you establish a barrier in the soil around the perimeter of your home, you will be protected. If you use the product Taurus that I used in the video, you will actually be okay even if you skip over a small section like the driveway. The chemical compound kills the colony of termites when it comes in contact
@@oninster84 driling is always the last option to create chemical barrier. If there is a way to trench or inject liquid termiticide directly into the soil around the structure then drilling is not necessary.
Where do you buy the termite poison
So termite bait stations and trench treatment. You really making sure you don't get any termites.
yep! Double time. But unless we bait the stations they are useless as a defense
Don't put your coffee near the chemicals
Not drilling the concrete and injecting, this is one of the most half ass treatments I have ever seen.
This a good way to get put out of business with fines by the department of agriculture.
Thanks for the video! I’m in CA and have a slab foundation but most of the perimeter of my house has a cement walkway poured around it. What would you recommend for termite treatment in this case?
You’re welcome! Just treat the soil around the sidewalk
@@DanTheBugMan wrong first off you NEED to wear PPE, secondly you need to rod treat and inject chemical through the concrete.
The whole “Treat around the sidewalk” is completely wrong. And against label. You’ll be in big $&@! If you keep doing that stuff. Also, that label says right at the beginning to NOT USE UNLESS YOURE TERMITE LICENSED
Also, WHAT ABOUT THE TUB TRAPS
@@AzBugGuy what the hell is a tub trap
My gramma got scammed so hard they charged her 5k for those stupid plastic baits. She never paid them back and it ruined her credit score
NEED GLOVES😳
I would definitely recommend gloves. But if you get some on you just wash it off with water, no big deal
@@DanTheBugMan You gotta love the PPE Police!
Bradley Gamble haha gloves are overrated. Just don’t drink any and you’ll be fine

This is a very dangerous video. It’s obvious that he’s making money on his videos and his links to sell products that he also makes a percent of sales. When he talks about measurements, he says it doesn’t have to be exact. I’m not sure which state he’s in, but in most states it has to be exact or you can be held liable for ground contamination. In every state the label is the law. Mix according to the instructions on the product, apply the product according to the instructions on the label. This includes treating all of the soil that is placed back into the trench. For a “post construction treatment” To properly treat your home you must do a complete perimeter treatment. This includes drilling holes every 12 inches on all expansion joints adjoining the slab and under roof. Also treating (1-4Gallons) underneath bathtubs and showers where there is access, 50% of structural Termite infestations occur in these two areas. 78 ounces makes 100 gallons of Termicide at .06%. The label states to use 4 gallons of mixed product per 10 linear feet(this is 1 gallon every 2.5 linear feet) this includes treating the back fill dirt. You can do it yourself and save money, just follow the label. Imagine if every homeowner were to not follow the mixing instructions how much ground contamination would affect your neighborhood. Be responsible Thank you.
I suggest you use metric system next time
Haha I’m terrible at the metric system. But I’ll try next time!
Hilarious
HE'S WRONG! That was the actual SENTRICON BAIT, NOT WOOD. And the trench was not dug properly 💯
are you sure??
@@DanTheBugMan yes sir 100%
Dude I had respect for you until I watched this video. First off you did an absolutely horrible termite treatment. Saying that you don’t need a barrier all the way around the house is completely false. You absolutely do. You didn’t drill any of the concrete and treat under it so that area is completely exposed. You actually do have to treat the dirt that is put back into the trench. If you actually read the label it tells you this. You use 3 gallons per 10 ft in the trench and then 1 gallon on top after you put the dirt back. All that is bad enough but for you to say that pest control company just put wood sticks in the stations and charged for it is a flat out lie. That stick IS THE BAIT. That house was completely protected from termites with those stations. If I lived there I absolutely would not use y’all’s company. You did a horrible treatment and then lied about another company. Also if you would use a spray rig instead of a bucket you could do a much better job. On a final note you better hope the EPA doesn’t see this video. You are not wearing the proper PPE at all
I will admit, this video is not perfect. I tried to make it DIY friendly, but definitely cut some corners. Lighten up though my friend. I do this for a living just like you sounds like.
@@DanTheBugMan I may have came on a little harsh but I hate it when people dog other companies. Everyone is out working hard to make money to provide for their families and when you said that company just put wood sticks in those bait stations and that there was no treatment in them it didn’t sit well with me. Those sticks are the bait. They have an IGR in them that prevents the termites from molting. It is an awesome product and that house 100% did not need anything other than those stations.
I could add more but he got it good
BRO (J) STOP CRYING .....freaking stop capitalizing on everything and strike fear in the viewer to make them believe they cant do it themselves. Yes he should have wore protection but he is right about the stakes to save money for a home owner so we dont get raped by you guys ......LOL
Thank God for UA-cam 😊👍
@@HandsONreviews4u I’m not crying about anything. You can follow his advice and do it that way but you won’t be protected from termites. He was not right about the bait sticks. He told those people they needed a different treatment because what they had was just wooden sticks in the ground. That is a lie. Those sticks are the treatment and are much better than a liquid treatment. You talk about being over charged by companies, well he just lied and told someone that the bait that was already paid for was no good and then charged them to do another treatment. I’m just pointing out to people that his advice isn’t right. Again you can do what you want.
