    Repellents Vs Nonrepellents

    I have a question about a house that was previously treated for subterranean termites using a repellent termiticide, Dragnet, approximately 4 years ago, but the structure has active termites. The company that performed the original application went out of business, and the owners want to have the house re-treated using a non-repellent material (Termidor.) Will the previous treatment have any ef...

    Termites And The Economy

    My question is about my 5-year "booster" treatments that are needed for my existing termite customers. I am starting to have some customers that do not have the funds to pay for this, and I believe that their homes, that were treated by me and never had any more problems, are going to be susceptible to termites again. I would hate to lose them & also the yearly renewal, which is money I rely on...

    Termites A to Z

    Are all termites "True Insects"? Do Drywood Termites actually eat their dead? Are Drywood Termite pellets always "Old" if their color is black? Can Subterranean Termites Soldiers be heard pounding their heads within wooden structures? Thank You.

    Getting to the Bottom Of The Problem

    I have always done termite pretreat applications prior to the slabs being poured, rodding down around the footings to ensure the adjacent soil is being treated, and of course along foundations, pipe openings, etc. This particular school I am starting insists that I treat the soil before the footings are poured. I have studied the label and it states that under all circumstances do not treat und...

    Concrete.....Yumm!

    Here in the Caribbean we rely on cisterns built under houses for 90% of our water supply. Some PCO's here tell customers that they need to treat the cistern slabs and pool slabs for Subterranean Termites before casting concrete. I feel it's dangerous and a waste of time. If a termite can enter the cistern or pool floor slab that means the cistern is not sealed, and therefore will leak, and ther...

    Pay Me Now, Or Pay Me Later

    Although I'm licensed to treat for termites and the use of Termidor, I've yet to treat for termites. I recently received a call to do so at an apartment complex. An inspection of the lower level unit revealed soft spots all along a baseboard that I could push my finger through. The wood seemed to have tunneling and I suspect termites. There were also little divets in the cement wall. Could term...

    First Time Formosans

    Recently I had a customer who witnessed his 1st swarm of Formosan termites. I've never treated his home for termites. The house was built in the late 1940's and sits on brick veneer piers. In the front of the house there is a brick wall with the same pattern of piers that the house sits on. The bricks are mortared together with concrete poured in the middle, cracking somewhat throughout the hom...

    Spontaneous Generation?

    I have a termite client in North West Florida who saw swarmers at 9:30 PM May 14. Next day an inspection of the interior, attic, and exterior along with a negative moisture meter test resulted in no sign of any problems. The swarmers that I noticed were not concentrated in any one area of the house but were scattered in all rooms, and none had wings nor did I find any wings in any room. I belie...

    Treating With Your Hands Tied

    Last year around this time I treated a house with a slab foundation for eastern-subterranean termites. They had swarmed in one of the bathrooms that sits on the 1st floor and in the boiler room. The owner insisted that no drilling was to be done inside the house, unless it was really necessary. Well, a year later the termites swarmed again, but not in the boiler room, just in the same bathroom....
