Many topics are covered in the Educate to Eradicate
seminars. Subjects include the background of Hawaii's termites, termite
management strategies, and a look at specific products available to homeowners
for preventing or mitigating termite problems.
In the area of products available to homeowners, great interest has been
expressed in baiting systems, termiticides, and wood treatments. Below is a

most of these products entails enlisting the services of a certified pest control operator.
