anyone had their house tented recently?
 

just noticed that I seem to have termites . . . shit . . . doing a little research, and not really sure tenting is the way to go, so has anyone had to deal with termites?

What method did you use, and how much did it run you (approx)?

Tenting is the final answer and usually only used in extreme situations.

I've been to your house many times and have yet to fall through your floor with my fat ass......

Me thinks te problem is probably not bad eough for tenting.

tenting is awsome... did the garage in my old house... took care of the problem :thumbsup

The problem is that I have been finding these fuckers inside and outside the house

Subterranean: Termites live in the soil and must maintain contact with the ground or some other moisture source to survive. They build earthen tubes from the ground into the structure for protection from predators and to help maintain a moist environment. In some rare situations, if water and wood are available from a source other than the soil, subterranean termites can establish a colony with no ground contact.

I am wondering if they are coming up in search or water or something :(

my garage is attached, so if they do one, they do it all . . . which means moving mattresses, food etc out . . . as well as having to find a place to stay . . . . somewhere to park the bike unless I don't want access to it . . . how much did it cost to do just the garage?

methyl bromide is some bad shit

When I was 7 I had a tepee in my bedroom :glugglug

I guess they use Vikane (sulfuryl fluoride) now (doesn't slip thru the tent as easily)

this was years ago...cost $1200... and small guest house was attached to the garage, so they tented whole thing

that is pretty reassuring . . .so I am probably looking at a couple grand minimum . . . .wonder if my homeowners policy covers this

it doesnt cover it... and make sure you pay extra for the inspector to come in and test everything...make sure theyre all gone...

if you need a place to put your bike let me know :thumbsup

thanks . . . know anyone that has tried the heat method?

and no, I don't mean just torching the place :)

no

NO.
