So...in preparation for a small bathroom remodel I found some active termites. I can see where they are active, there was a shower there that I demoed and most of that wood is going away anyway. The problem is they are in the sub floor as well. So I am thinking that part of the sub floor has to go as well of course. I just hope the joists are not damaged. If they are what do I do?

What to do; right now is a very bad time for me to think about a fumigation, the bill to do it and the fact that my wife is 7 1/2 months pregnant...well...yeah. Funds are very tight right now so as I said I don't think I could manage a fumigation. We have had some 'avoidance' work done over the last 18 months or so to prevent problems. We did have a 'borate' treatment about a year ago but it seems that this spot was missed but I do not think it was their fault - its in a closet that would have been impossible for them to inspect.

I'm at my wits end I guess...lately its just one set back after another. My wife's going to take the news fantastically I know...
