We had them once but we bought the powder that they love to eat. They then leave your timber alone and take this back to the nest. It sterilizes them and they can't re-produce. Because they will only eat this powder, when it runs out they starve. I put some in an old plastic Ice Cream container with a lid and made a hole in it and nailed it to a beam. Our termites were completely eliminated in about 2 weeks. !0 years now and no more but I self treat around the perimeter with a spray that lasts up to 10 years.
Powder is SUPERWAY Termite Bait. Cost around $60 at the time.
Spray is Fortune Ultra Termiticide (mix 150 ml to 30 litres of water) 1 litre lasts me several years. Costs around $40 or so. Surefire Fortune Ultra - PCT Rural

Here is another solution if you can get it there. Termite Bait by Termikill. Australian made proven DIY termite solution.

This is the powder I used. Superway Customer treating "Superway compact termite bait station".wmv - YouTube

Have a read. It is pretty easy... Diy termite bait stations: how to make and install a bait stantion?

We were quoted between $700 and $1200 to get rid of them by Pest companies but we did it ourselves initially for $40.

Just sprayed all around the house again yesterday as a preventitive,
When we came here originally the house was covered in spider webs. We sprayed the walls etc with Fortune Ultra and have had no spiders since. It lasts at least 10 years under cover. I also do my fence posts around the farm and it lasts for 5 -7 years in the open. (It seems to last longer than that to me)

Suppliers are saying to use Taurus SC instead of Fuse?

Thoughts?

 

[Diggin It]

Try just plain old diaomateceous (spelling) earth. n

And where would that go? On the ground surface?

 

[Complete Turf Care]

Suppliers are saying to use Taurus SC instead of Fuse?

Thoughts?

Both are labeled for use on termites and both contain Fipronil. So either one would work. I did not read the entire label for either one, but I think you should read it before deciding which one to use and before applying either one. Here is a link to both labels for your convenience.

you use taurus sc outside in the ground either through injection , or a ditch or i used a 2 and half foot drill bit, and funnels. i used FUSE inside in specific damaged area's then used bora care on every single piece of wood i could spray in the basement, this stops them from eating it in the future.

One guy mentioned a trench 6" wide by 6" deep. I can do that in some places, but I kinda' like the drill idea too. Would make a lot less mess to drill a 3/8 hole every two feet or so.

I was planning on drilling each concrete block to inject into the webs, but I'm not sure I want to get into all that if injecting into the ground would accomplish the same thing.

You have a serious infestation and treatment for such is more than an exterior perimeter application. Probably an interior and interior application of two products. Don’t screw around, get a professional in there, then do your own applications after that.
