I had termites in my new restaurant down in the South of France, we bought an old building and then discovered it was attacked by termites. We did a thorough treatment while doing it up but one year we had in the big dining room a swarm of winged termites coming out of a major supporting beam. Had to do a proper job with a specialist to get rid of them. Cost us 5,000 euros 30 years ago!

[@dereckc9469]

10k? you're an optimist!

[@litt1efoot95]

He may be eluding to price for treatment alone. Cost of repair would be far higher

[@dpellek74]

He meant replacing the wood​@@litt1efoot95

[@devonkelly44]

wow, that hardwood looks similar to mine! i will be checking my house for this now! i rent the second floor of a 3 story converted brownstone in philly that was built in the 40s! with your advice maybe i can protect/educate my upstairs and downstairs neighbors as well!

[@oriolesandravens]

7th. Thank you Dan the Bug Man. You are always informative. I wish you well in your new company. Go get those bugs.

[@nufolopez83]

Do you have a video for dry wall termite?

[@보동웍스]

In this case, what should home owner do ? Wait for soil liquid chemical work(eliminate the whole colony) and repair the house after that? btw, Your videos have been really really helpful for me, thanks from South Korea !

[@alinam1458]

Hoping you can help me. I’m having a termite issue and am getting mixed responses from pest control companies. There’s no mud tubes at all, activity is in a bathroom and closet right next to each other. The last two quotes I was given- one said the problem is in the pipes underground, he will drill the floor and flood it with the treatment solution. The other said they will spot treat by doing a trench and using foam in the affected walls. I just don’t know what the best option is, hoping you can please advise me.

[@namelessme6363]

I'm not the guy you're looking to answer, but I hope you figured something out by now. I'm replying because I'm waiting on the chemical to get here to treat my home (lower SC).... This is my 1st time doing this, and I'm going to do both methods... Spring gone. I had a room that was added on many years ago swarming with termites. Between the wall and ceiling.. I've found a colony around the concrete foundation going under the vinyl siding.

[@ThatTermiteGuy]

I know I’m not the guy you were asking but just putting in my two cents, I’m in the industry. If you are on a slab home there is usually a tub trap in the wall between bathroom and closet. In the trap is where the plumbing pipes come up and there is no concrete around it just soil , most infestations start there. I would get them to treat that and drill/treat any expansion joints in that area (termites love to come up expansion joints). You may want to get your whole home treated and a bond in place just incase this happens again in the future, you will be covered. But any type of structure your home is on, companies will trench, drill, and treat those areas and if needed add exterior termite bait stations. Hope this helps!

[@namelessme6363]

@ThatTermiteGuy now that's solid info! It's been about 4 weeks since I treated around my addition and I not see any sign of them now. I took some foam poison and went on the inside the room too. I can afford to lose my home to a dang insect.

[@namelessme6363]

How many colonies did you see around the foundation?

[@Foxfirebrown1234]

So, if I have drywoid termites & similar baseboard issues, should I inject fripinol foam in the base boards then caulk the hole to get rid of them, then replace base boards once the termite takes poison to the colony if I have only drywood termites? Also, before installing base boards, can I spray Bora Care to the new base boards then paint them? I dont have mud colonies or subterranean according to Hulette, but I will still use Taurus Sc in a trench around the entire house. I plan on getting my tent November 1st when the mating season ends, but I want to treat the rotten base boards & trench the house before November. What do you think Dan & family?

[@jasonbisdead]

Dan the bug man typically has no clue what he's talking about. Don't use SC, use Termidor HE. You're on the right track.

[@namelessme6363]

​@jasonbisdead I just ordered SC for ground termites around the outside foundation and a can of foam... this is my first time dealing with these sobs... I couldn't afford Termidon so I got Taurus

[@mikechevreaux7607]

Presence Of a Few Swarmers Alone Does Not Mean a Infestation.

[@andrewramirez4510]

Here goes the guy that doesn’t do pest control commenting on something he knows nothing about

[@shadowzxman]

​@@andrewramirez4510 yep

[@CDcooper3876]

Lucky that’s regular eastern subterranean if it were Formosan termites in that timespan the whole house would be gone they can do that damage in months

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

Why call out a professional when we learned how to do a self check from Dan The Bug Man? They're just going to do the hard sell on Sentricon, something that DTBM said was a scam.

[@jasonbisdead]

This guy is known across the pest management industry to be a total joke. He typically has absolutely not clue what he's doing, and what's worse is he's just doing what others have taught him. Sentricon and Trelona are solid products that kill off colonies around your home. Dan is an idiot.

[@MirahLov3]

Usually home owners don’t call professionals because professionals, lie. A friend of mine’s who just purchased the house had to get there home inspected. The company he hired said that his house had mites which we both knew it didn’t. We got a second opinion and of course there was no signs of termites.
