Termites

Post by jpaolli » July 27, 2020, 9:10 pm

Any idea how to get rid of those permanently ? We've tried many times so called local specialists, but still bugs are enjoying here.

There's no wood in our home, so I'm somehow confused :confused:

I use Chaindrite around the house. You can buy it in a 1 or 4 Liter container and thin it down or buy it in a Spray Can. MAKRO have it. Also available in a Powder form

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

I also use Chaindrite and it's available at every home center here in Udon. I normally buy mine at Global House.

never forget the most anti termite products contain a substance that attract the termites first and start poisoning them,
so i f your home has no termites do not start a prevention cycle to terminate them , as you will attract them first...
in our old home we did have a big termite mountain on the land next door , never bothered about , and they never bothered us , still now almost 20 years later , so never try to move them if you are not bothered would be my advice
so i would try the vinegar solution first as this is not attracting them, but maybe repelling them only?
as info ;)

I used a professional crowd a year ago. Phase one was attraction/ making them impotent, phase two was killing nests. 100% effective and would happily recommend. send me a PM.

These aggressive little buggers will bore into everything that allows their exterior skeleton stay moist. If exposed in air for even a few Cms, they lock up. CPAC joints suit them well and they will create a trail through masonry walls in search of nice chew able wood.
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani
