The house is inspected annually by Orkin & I pay them ~$200/year for
continued insurance, which is transferable. The total area damaged is
probably 18 inches square, in 5-6 locations inside an area about 4x8 feet.
Spackle/prime/paint was what I had in mind, I was just wondering if joint
compound was the best for this or if I should use something like one of the
"plastic-DAP" type products. Basically were talking about a depth
equivalent of the thickness of the paint & drywall paper coating.

As I clearly said, the house is free of termites. I'm not talking about
"concealing" anything. Termites are endemic to this area and the holes
drilled in the basement floor & walls, garage slab etc for treatment are
plainly visible. My question concerns the best manner for repairing the
drywall damage.

It wasn't clear to me ) Free, as in professional inspection with no
bugs found? Good! How large an area, by the way? Probably should
remove the paint (all that is left) over the damaged area, spackle,
prime, paint.
