I have had a termite contract from day one of building my house. Now the exterminator is demanding a baiting system to go forward. The quote is insane considering I can buy the same system online for $400 and also purchase the spray as well.

Does anyone in south LA have any experience in treating for termites yourself?

Slippery slope. You hire someone and they are on the hook for damage. You do it and you are on the hook.

If you treat with termidor sc or generic you won’t get termites 99.99% of the time. There’s always that slight chance. That being said I treat myself.

DId they give the reason for requiring a bait system? Floating slab? Has there been termite damage before?

Floating slab and I trenched 4”x8” around the house and back filled with rocks. Said too little of the slab was exposed.
