I have termites, my neighbors have termites. I also have BAD allergies to chemicals. What can I do to get rid of termites that won't kill me, too? Please let me know. I'm hoping there are some "natural" ways of dealing with termites.
Thank you,

Most companies use a baiting system now that uses no chemicals. Baiting stations are placed in the ground around your home and once the termites "hit" on the bait it is replaced with a product in the station that the termites feed on and this in turn will kill the colony of termites. You will not be exposed to any chemicals. The baiting stations will be monitered by the company that installs them. My husband owns and operates a pest control company and this is the only method he uses to get rid of termites. We used it on our own home and it does work. (05/03/2005)

Please get professional advice to get rid of termites - it will save you money in the long run. We thought we had taken care of termites by spraying, repairing wood and painting, but after a couple of years a whole wall had to be replaced at considerable expense. If you haven't seen the damage these pests can do you just wouldn't believe it - the walls crumble like tissue paper. They are a fact of life in the south; it's best to get a termite protection policy. LOL (05/03/2005)

We just bought a home on the ocean in the Baja, about 2 hours south of San Diego. We have a house that the roof is entirely made of wood; as are all the window frames. Our home is infested. I cannot afford the treatments, so for now, I'm using a spray bottle full of full strength BLEACH. I spray the area where I see the fecal droppings, and it does seem to rid of them. they probably just move to another area of the house, but it makes me feel better to not see the droppings there anymore.
