Termite afficionados?
I'd like some friendly anti-termite advice. Location is So. Cal.
Recent inspections discovered dry wood termites in a couple areas of the home.
However, there were also a couple of places indicating subterranean termites. These are more voracious eaters and harder (more expensive) to eradicate or control.
The primary area is under a bathroom vanity. 6 or 7 mud access tubes discovered. Since access is difficult, one estimate suggested drilling and injecting just outside the bathroom (exterior, next to foundation). They also suggested tenting the house.
The other estimate suggested pulling the vanity, then drilling and injecting directly into the mud tube axis. In addition, they want to drill and inject around the entire perimeter with non-repellent chemicals, treat the dry wood areas with "orange foam" and no tenting.
What do those with termite experience suggest? I'd like to hear from the non-biased points of view. Cost is about the same for both, $3000 vs $2700, respectively. Too high, just right or too low (ha)?
Thanks,
Sherwood
