SAFETY OF TERMITE CHEMICALS GUIDE!
Modern termite treatments are designed to be extremely safe for homes, families, and pets. But because they involve chemical application, homeowners understandably want reassurance.

Non-repellent chemicals do not release fumes.

Termiticide toxicity is significantly lower than many household items.
