How costly is termite treatment?

The cost of termite treatment ranges from $1,150 to more than $3,000 as of 2014. The cost varies depending on the size of the property being treated and the extent of the infestation of termites.

The various ways of treating a termite infestation include chemical extermination. In this process, a technician trenches or drills holes around the property before adding a liquid chemical. This treatment is used for moderate termite infestation. Another example of treatment is a whole-house treatment, where a lethal gas fumigation is used and the home is not safe to live in for at least four to five days.
