I found termites in my craw space. Will get treated w/ Ter..dor SC, Because it takes several weeks to take affect and will be a few weeks before I can get it treated do I need to spray the area with a termiticide or just wait? During construction I had entire area sprayed w/ borax, but they found their way up a block pier and into a quadruple floor joist. I also found a couple tunnels thats about half way the blocks. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks Ray

I'm working on a house in Central America. Around here, most of the houses are built from concrete and metal. These are the only materials that have any chance of surviving the bugs and humidity. I recently discarded a lot of termite-edible material that had been foolishly installed in the ceiling (cielo raso). There isn't much left in the house for the termites to eat, and the in-house nest (ewww) is gone. I plan to finish this house with all termite-proof materials (pvc, tropical hardwood, glue-filled MDF). However, there is a wooden closet that I would like to keep. Most of this closet is made from hardwood, but there is some softwood present. Does anyone know if there is a chemical that I can spray on/in the closet to make it totally inhospitable to termites? There are currently no clothes inside, and it can be kept empty for at least a few weeks. A chemical name is better than a brand name, as brands differ between here and North America.
