A question we often get at Knockout Pest Control is this: “Do you use safe methods for removing termites?” We get it—we are dealing with your home or place of business and no one wants to breathe in bunch of harmful chemicals.

For customers with limited infestations, we are able to offer heat treatment for the elimination of termites. This involves no use of chemicals whatsoever.
