Sam Orange County coast, Calif. S: According to an article in the L.A. Times about 2 years back, only the common gas treatments involving tenting are really effective. That includes oils, microwaving and freezing approaches amongst the discredited. If you are not certain of your gassing provider, a friend in the industry says to weigh the bottle before application as certain unscrupulous individuals have been known to pad the bottom line by providing service with a depleted container.

Regards, Edward Hennessey Might ask, if limonene works, how come there are termites in Orange County?  Don't think there is enough data on limonene. I know from personal experience with ant spray, that it did not work and stunk up kitchen. Frank |

As they make a habit of walling off their galleries with digested debris whenever they breach into an opened space, you somehow have to get through that. Volatile gases like the halogens used in termite work accomplish this. The pressures and closure you would need for a liquid to do the same seem to debunk the prospect. Interestingly, if you do open the galleries and the abundant Argentinian army ants which also infest Southern California are around, goodbye termites. In fact, PBS had a show recently sited in Africa where the locals effectively used certain ants in their houses after they had exposed termite activity. Regards, Edward Hennessey |
