I have a couple of close friends in the exterminating

tell you, there's NOTHING that's truely effective on termites anymore
since the EPA took Clorodane off the market. The replacement chemicals
costs over $80/gallon (wholesale!) and you have to use it full strength
instead of dilluting it. Even then it is marginal and the area has to be
retreated every two years.
Score another success for the bugs and the EPA!
And the lumber industry...gotta keep us buying more wood... Maybe the
lumber industry paid for the EPA studies? ;)
I think my next home will be made of concrete block.
