Just noticed about a half dozen tubes poking out of the cieling in my laundry room. Did a full search everywhere else and haven't seen any other tubes. Seems they are trying to find the source of moisture from the laundry maybe? the laundry room borders the edge of the foundation and there are some tubes out there too. Either way I need someone to come in here and nuke these bitches from orbit. I remember someone saying there is an arf owned termite killer company in here......... |

Quoted: Bills pest termite is the name of the company. Owned by an arfcommer, and who I used when I found tubes in my house. They were very reasonably-priced and fast. It's who I recommend now to anyone needing termite service drilled some small holes in the 2x4s and the outside of the house where the little bastards are traveling and it looks like i caught it early enough. They haven't started munching on the support wood yet. Just tunneling around in the sheetrock probably looking for something moist since the laundry room is often humid. |
| You can buy the same product "Termidor SC" at alot of the local "weed and bug marts" Its the same product most companies use and 3/4 of an ounce makes 1 gallon of spray ( comes in about a 16 ounce bottle for $56.00). It also works better than anything i have ever found on ants. Spray a few at the mound and the whole colony is dead within 24 hours. |

Another vote for the do it yourself, although if they are coming through the ceiling, it's a bit more advanced than some tubes on the slab.
I get termidor or dominion/premise from doyourownpestcontrol.com which is a little cheaper than the bug and weed marts. Dilute, trench around slab, pour in the mix, and backfill. Seems to work pretty well... And I have had Bill's at my house a few times. I like their anti-obongo ads but don't know if I would hire them again. |
