My cabinet is infested with termites.
I bet the other parts of the house are too.

How do I deal with this?
Any cheap way? Non-toxic? Anything!

[vanschen]

eat them - Bear Grylls style. hehehe.

tawag Mapecon?? pra gamit chemicals. wla man guro way pra mawala ang termites except kng mahurot na imo cabinet.

Ah.. Abi man gud nako naay lain alternative.
Kung sa medicine pa, murag "herbal". Hehehe.

chemicals lang na makapatay sa ilaha, better do it early para dili cla magspread. basin dili lang na cabinet, basin maapil na ang house if dili patyon dayon.

prevent the spread by renovating immediately the infested part of the house i.e. ceiling, walls, wood fixtures. Then prevent further infestation by treating the perimeter of your house. Sometimes, infestation is so severe that they already have a colony inside your house.

Cheaper if DIY lang.
Palit lang ug anti-termite chemical dinha sa mga hardware stores.
Read the instructions carefully.
Calculate the area you want protected, volume of chemical is dependent on area, siempre.

Common man tingali ni nga "defense strategy". Make sure nga walay colony sa sulod sa imo balay.
Dig a trench sa imong perimeter, around knee-deep trench ok na.
Ibubu ang imong chemical preparation. Careful lang ani kay toxic ni, it can kill people/kids/pets...
Lisod if naka firewall ka kay wala kay control sa likod sa imo firewall. Usually anhi ni sila dinhi mo agi.
Unless makig sabot ka sa tag-iya sa likod sa imo firewall nga mag share mo sa anay treatment cost.

Re-treatment is necessary.
Every three years kung kaya sa gasto ug panahon nimo.

Mapecon?
Mahal man, though you dont have to do the dirty/dangerous work.
Pero still, re-treatment is necessary.

Naka try ko sa Mapecon, pero after 5years, nibalik ra ang termites. Wala pud ko nag pa re-treat kay wala na money. Nag DIY ko, nag pa renovate sa kitchen unya ako ra ang nag treat.

hopes this helps in your decision.
