Nakakatakot naman ito parang wawasakin ang finishes ng bahay mo. At paano naman nila gagwin yan na di ka kakabahan?

d. Quarterly Inspection and / or Treatment as necessary
e. Mound demolition (if any) and retrieval of king/queen termites using appropriate liquid termiticides to create barriers for future infestation

Naks naman--make-believe words--ads na ads ang dating! Halatang rumaraket lang sila.

What i did when I discovered anay infestation on one of wooden racks sa storage, pinahiran ko ng solignum lahat ng gnawed portion--soaked talaga, kung pwede paagusin sa mga bores ng anay yung liquid. So far ilang taon na wala nang lumitaw na anay nor any sign na may anay pa rin.

Infested na yung wood siguro when it was installed. You killed off the colony within. Pero kung subterranean yung colony lilipat lang yan.

[pvttim]

pareho lang ba presyo kung ang soil treatment eh gagawin bago ang konstraksyon ng bahay kumpara sa gawa na ang bahay? advisable ba ang diy pag wala pa namang bahay ang iti-treat?

[NeoDyn]

hanapin mo muna tirahan ng anay nagbubukol sa lupa yun.

Heto ngayon ang problem ko.May bago akong bahay na pinagagawa,buong lot ay nabuhusan nila ng solignom(correct speeling ba?)bago nilagyan ng pundasyon.Ngayon yung 2 houses away from mine ay lumang bahay na at inaanay.Yung katabi kong bahay ay naconquer na ng anay kahit may nilagay na silang gamot pero sabi ng katabing bahay ay mukhang immune na ang mga anay sa gamot at umaatake pa rin.

Hindi kaya mag-akyatbahay ang mga anay na ito sa akin?

[gotta lick it]

i am having Mapecon check my site for any possible treatment. yung sa ka-ofcmate ko organic soil treatment daw ang ginawa, hindi ko pa nakukuha ang details how they did it. P18k daw ang binayad nya. hindi naman daw full payment, nagDP lang then every quarter ang bayad sa balance and at the same time ang maintenance check kasabay din nun. ang alam ko meron na ngayon yung parang mga tubes na ini-install sa mismong ilalim ng bahay mo para dun na lang ipapasok ang isang hole ang gamot for maintenance eh.

a friend buried 1" pvc pipes in the perimeter of his house. yung pipes may mga pin holes. every year, bubuksan niya ang pipes at bubuhusan ng gamot.

this is called Reticulation. it should be design not only along the perimeter but also in grid under the house and around the foundations.

di uubra to boss kais naka landscape yung gilid ng bahay, tapos me fishpond kami sa harapan ng entrance

reticulation should be designed and installed during construction.

if you want your garden to be productive, soil poisoning is not the way.

the prior may help with your querry. but you have to do annual soil poisoning.

i heard that there is a company which uses traps with poison. it relies on the poison being delivered by the colony to the queen. it less toxic.

anyone know about this method? and can it be done D.I.Y.?

[dizonary]

me nakasubok na ba ng borax? effective ba talaga sya?

Yup.... I had a company do a demo here in my house - I just found it too expensive and went for the regular treatment instead.

They call the method "baiting" ...... they bait the termites with traps (looks like a small plastic canister) planted inside and outside the house.

The nice thing is, the termite poison itself is non-toxic to people ..... it's even edible.

The poison covers the different kinds of termites and last for a couple of months.

This kind of treatment looks good. The only downside was the price.

[gotta lick it]

how much does it cost?

[takaki]

how much does it cost?

IIRC it was around 25k+ ...... for 8 bait traps - 4-inside the house & 4-outside the house.

Can't recall if first poison refills are covered by the cost.

^ tnx for the info

[great2find]

termite eradication is a big industry!!!

[miletjs]

D ba effective ang solignum? Kasi yun mga binili kong wood sabi sakin pahiran daw ng solignum para d anayin.

Saka pag hinaluan ba ng tinting color (boysen) ang solignum at pinahid sa door na 3 coatings, effective ba yon?

[bmd]

At first, the company we'd gone with 5 years ago before construction was impressive. They really know their stuff.

We're signing up with a new (less busy) company now, and have requested some details added into the contract. When these guys merely inspect their monitors, they can miss the boat. No big deal, but don't assume that they'd promptly return for fixes just because you're a good customer for services that don't come cheaply.

Hi, I also had a huge termite infestation last month. my bathroom had a leaky pipe, all my baseboards and even the laminated flooring was full of termites. I bought some Timbor from a local ad, It was priced at P495/1.5lb and P900/3lb. It was easy to dissolve in water. It was effective for the baseboards, but didn't quite penetrate the thick cabinet wood and laminated flooring.

I consulted with the guy and he offered me locally-made Boracare, It was branded Termisin. It was sold for P350 for a 1-liter kit, basically, it was 500ml concentrate in a 1-liter bottle, you just add another 500ml of warm water and mix it together. apply with brush or spray. after a month, i had my house reinspected and all the termited were gone!!! Try calling him up if he still sells the stuff. Zen - 0917-5345785

I had all my houses applied, it was A LOT cheaper, a Pest control company offered me P95k for the termite removal, it only cost me P15k with Termisin and i didn't have to leave my house after the application!

Hi SgtBilko,

Ok yan ah. Ang mura at non-toxic pa.

When you sprayed or brushed the Termissin, did it also penetrate the painted surfaces? Or did you remove the paint first to expose the wood?

Cheers,
Neo

[neoanderson88123]

No local brands recommendations. Any generic borax, borax solutions, borate compounds will work.

Wood stains and varnish on wood should be removed before applying borax solutions. Borax will not penetrate wood with wood stains or varnish.

If you don't want to remove varnish or wood stain, use a syringe and inject borax solution into the wood or drill small holes, then inject with borax solutions. Stagger drilling like a diamond shape, 2cm equidistant apart and continue on drilling until end of the wood. Drill about 2cm deep.

Does this mean that for painted wood, the paint should be removed first before applying Boracare/Borax?

If the infested portion is a cabinet door (e.g., 3/4-inch plywood or plyboard), will removing the paint on the back part and then brushing or spraying that with Boracare/Borax be enough?

effective ba kung magiinject ng used motor oil dun sa door frame???

ganun kasi ginawa namin. nagbutas lang ng maliit tapos mukhang namatay naman yung mga anay.

yung kapitbahay ko, sa province daw ay yun ang ginamit sa kanila. effective daw.

na-hypnotize ako ng avatar mo, pre.

Had termite infestation in my kitchen cabinets under the sink and 1 set of hanging cabinets. Tried to DIY using Termisin/Boracare. But the are only effective in bare wood before painting and construction/installation. Yung Solignum naman, lumilipat lang ang anay.

Dumaan din sa panel board ang termites at sa door jamb ng kitchen door. Sabi ko di ko na kaya i-DIY ito. I hired a professional pest control service and my house was treated. Unfortunately, there's a very big open space at the back of my house (village perimeter) where cows grazed. There's a termite mound near the back of my house, and 2 termite mounds sa likod ng neighbor ko.

Binungkal namin ang termite mound sa likod ng house ko to look for the queen. Madaming termites, pero wala dun ang reyna. Wala din sa second termite mound. Dun sa bigger termite mound sa likod ng kapitbahay ko, doon madaming anay. Dun nila nakita ang reyna. At di lang isa. Tatlong termite queens na may kasamang isang king.

Lokong termite king yun, muslim yata at parang may harem. Madaming asawa.

The pest control service was looking for the "bao" kasi mukang syang bao ng niyog.

Nilagay ko sa bote.

Then they proceeded to treat my house and surrounding soil.

They also put baits in all the pipe conduits, panel board, and the infected areas. They also sprayed all the nooks and corners of the house. The they fumigate it so that we could rid of all the other insects, specially German cockroach.

What I like about them is the quarterly monitoring and maintenance for 2 years. In other pest control service, this costs php700 per visit. Babalik sila after 14 days to inspect. Kelangan nilang bumalik dahil ang balanse sa contract price ay payable in 1 year during the first year's quarterly visits.

The queens are aged 7 years each because of the 7 segments in their bodies.

Yung movement ng queens parang sa movie na Starship Troopers nung makita na nila yung insect queen.
