DIY folks tend to go overboard when termite infestation is found. if you don't see swarms in spring, any tubes found may be old. one solution might be to rebuild with pressure treated lumber. more expense but may be worth the peace of mind? you can also pretreat lumber (DIY) with borate spray. I would replace all material that appears infested. |

kudos:1 | As far as do-it-yourself is concerned, Termidor is readily available online. It is not a really dangerous chemical. Termidor contains the active ingredient Fipronil which is the same ingredient in Frontline flea preventative for dogs and cats. Frontline plus has an additional ingredient (Methoprene). The point is Termidor is not extremely dangerous to humans or hazardous to apply. |

2 edits | The fact is a fact! Termidor also helped us get rid of termites and as far as I have read on do it yourself forums it's the most recommended tool/method/substance for termite extermination. And the price is ok!
Well, you won't see daily such a thread on DSL forums
