 yes that right, but what if they get up to the attic and get water from
the moisture that comes off the a/c unit.. then you never get to them...
better call out a licensed termite man to take care of the problem... it
will cost you more in the long run.. and just because you get a lic.
termite man does not mean the problem will go away.. i had one flood the
exterior of a gargage i built in the back yard.. termites came back..
and back and back.. he came out each time and did the flooding, but it
was not doing any good... i then went to home depot when you could still
buy dursban there and sprayed it and they never came back. that was
about 10 yrs. now.. i know that dursban does not last for ever either so
i give it another spray ever other year for good luck and so far no more
termited.....
