Sell it to some sucker before it shows too bad. Take that money and buy a new termite free home.

If you want to do it yourself 2 things need to happen...

1. Spray to kill the ones in your house

2. Put down (outside in soil) posion traps.


You can probable find a do it yourself chemical place that sells what you need or yahoo search and see what happens.

These aren't ants that are eating your cat food. They are termites that are _eating your house_. Call the terminator. This is not time to be a cheap skate.

What Skoorb said. I had carpenter ants, not quite as bad as termites but they still can damage your house. I called Ehrlich and they seemed to do a pretty good job.

turn your gas stove on, leave and let the gas run for about a day.

Call home to check your messages ;)
