"https://www.linuxhelp.com/how-to-install-terminus-on-linux-mint-18-03/"

Q

Can you give me the ppa repository for installing the Terminix on Ubuntu?

A

Here I have mentioned the ppa repository for installing the "Terminix" on ubunutu as "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/terminix"

Q

How much damage can termites really do using the "Terminix"?

A

Termites cause an estimated $5 billion in property damages and repair costs annually. In fact, termites damage more homes than fires, floods and tornadoes. More than 4 million homes in the United States are at risk of infestation this year.

Q

How do I get rid of root weevils inside my home?

A

Several types of root weevils may be encountered: the black vine weevil and the strawberry root weevil. These black, one-quarter-inch-long beetles feed on vines, ivy, wild strawberries and “yew” shrubbery outside.

When populations grow large enough, wandering beetles may come indoors. To eliminate them, seal exterior cracks and holes, and treat the perimeter and foundation of your home. Long-term control includes removing the vines, ivy and other vegetation that the weevils target for breeding.

Q

How can I prevent a termite infestation in Terminix?

A

Terminix will get to subterranean termites before they get to you. The Bait Barrier Plan establishes an advanced treatment perimeter around your home and provides annual monitoring to check for termite activity. A second option, the Subterranean Termite Coverage Plan, offers an annual professional Termite Inspection and free treatments if termites are discovered. Both plans are backed by an ongoing guarantee protecting against any costs from future treatments or damage repairs.
