Default Termites

Hi,
Termites have been found in my friend's third floor place. She wants
to use something that is non-toxic. Any recommendations? And, what
type of termites would be on a third floor? I thought they were only
on ground floor.

Thanks in advance.


They might be on the third floor because they ate everything on the first
and second.

Termicides are (usually) used outside so toxicity is almost irrelevant.
Further, what's toxic to termites is harmless to humans.

What she wants is Termidor (or similar). Application is done by digging a 6"
trench around the foundation and pouring in the material. You can treat her
house for about $300-$500.
