Is there an alternate to chemical treatment for termites on new construction?
A. The Department also accepts the use of EPA registered baits and wood treatments as termite protection. For all treatment types, the application must be by a licensed pest control operator. See HUD Handbook 4910.1, 606-1, Mortgagee Letter 99-03, and/or Mortgagee letter 2001-04, for further clarification.
