Sellam: You really opened the proverbial 'bag of worms' (your own description). I suggest again - get advice from a professional exterminator. I've had termites in my house, my garage, in storage rooms, etc., and I assure you they will go right through plastic wraps, plastic sheets, plastic curtains, and anything made of wood or wood fibres (like paper). Defeating them is not a "game" that most of us are prepared or equipped to play, and, yes, I have a contract (perpetual) that guarantees the protection of my home and all I have in it. Saying you don't need it is like saying you don't need any kind of insurance - life or otherwise.. Protect your investments! Art
