The duration of termite extermination can vary depending on the method used and the extent of the infestation. Here are some common methods and their typical timeframes:

1. Liquid Treatments: These usually start working within a few days and can take several months to fully eliminate termites¹.
2. Bait Stations: This method can take several months to be effective, as termites need to find and consume the bait¹.
3. Fumigation (Tenting): This is a more intensive method that typically takes 24 to 72 hours. You’ll need to vacate your home during this process².
4. Direct Wood Treatments: These can start working immediately but may take a few days to weeks to fully eradicate the termites¹.

Each method has its pros and cons, so it’s best to consult with a pest control professional to determine the most suitable approach for your situation.

The time it takes to exterminate a cockroach infestation can vary based on several factors, including the severity of the infestation, the type of treatment used, and environmental conditions. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Initial Results: You might start seeing a reduction in cockroach activity within a few days after treatment¹.
2. Complete Elimination: It can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to fully exterminate a cockroach infestation²³. This is because treatments need to reach all life stages of the cockroaches, including eggs, nymphs, and adults.
3. Follow-Up Treatments: Severe infestations often require multiple treatments and follow-up visits from pest control professionals².

It’s important to maintain good sanitation practices and eliminate food and water sources to prevent re-infestation. If you have any specific concerns or need advice on the best treatment options, consulting a pest control professional is a good idea.
