We contacted a local firm (ELHRICH) years ago and they did a barrier job, 1
foot increments around the exterior and interior, drilled holes and infused
a chemical termites would not go through...thus the name BARRIER.
15 years later they were back, same company had a new method on controlling
termites.
Termites need to shed to live, a substance is now available to stop the
shedding process and thus killing the termites.
On the outside of a home holes are drilled for tubes to be inserted, inside
of these tubes are pieces of wood termites enjoy eating. This attracts
termites and when activity is detected this wood is removed and a substance
that termites eat but will keep the from shedding is applied, termites eat
this and keep coming back to get more and tell all of their buddies...in
time the entire colony has been destroyed because of their in ability to
shed,,,if termites are killed this will not eliminate a colony, only keep
them from coming back to eat...
I am happy with this and keep it up to date...

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.
