Termites have been a problem for humans for thousands of years, causing damage to buildings and other structures made of wood. In the past, the main method of control was manual removal, which involved physically removing the termites and their nests. However, this method was time-consuming and not very effective.

As technology advanced, new methods of termite control were developed, including the use of chemicals. In the early 20th century, liquid chemicals were introduced as a way to control termites. These chemicals were applied to the soil around a building to create a barrier that would prevent termites from entering. Over time, new and more effective chemicals were developed, and termite control became a major industry.

Today, there are many options for termite control, and the cost of treatment can vary widely depending on the size of the structure, the type of termites, and the method of control used. On average, the cost of a termite treatment can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. It is important to choose a reputable pest control company and to get several estimates before making a decision.
