For termite protection I would use a professional. Main reason is the financial protection and the fact that we have a lot of termites in the South.

For other pests I have done my own. We did have a bug problem that we think came from some groceries (bugs in boxes) and that is when I started doing the spraying myself. No problem for years. I use a chemical that also does termites (extra "insurance") outside. Inside one that is safe on food. Now you can buy the chemicals in sprayers that have an electric pump attached. Pretty easy.
Try it for a year.
