For localized infestations in wooden structures, the exterminator may apply wood treatments, such as borate solutions. These solutions are applied to the infested wood, and the borates penetrate the wood, killing the termites and providing long-term protection against future infestations.

They use strategic means to lure and exterminate mice. Exterminators place mouse and mice traps in clever spots in the home. These hot spots include your attic, crawlspaces, and corners in your basement if you have one. Pros never place traps in food areas or common areas where you and your family hang out.
