Drywood termite...Help!
I live in Tucson, AZ. Last week I decided to replace the dated
wallpaper in the kitchen with something more cheerful. Removing the wallpaper I discovered large areas of (dry) mold, indicating that the moisture must have been there a while back. But the disturbing discovery is the presence of drywood termite (black pellets sit in the bottom plus live termites -- no wings) that literaly did away with the base board and the studs in a corner area of about 2'x4'. I looked up the web site managed b the University of Arizona, and it said that the only control is the removal of the damaged wood with treated pine. I did that, but my fear is that some termites are still "hiding" deep inside some of the hard to get-to corner studs. Any advice as to additonal treatments of the infected area before I re-sheetrock? Thanks. |
