[b]There is finally an answer to, “ Is there a way to Kill my termites without tenting my house and filling it with poison lethal gas?â€

Realty owners no longer need run the risk of poisoning, death or health injuries associated with poison gas treatment of their homes for termites. The device, system and technology is available online.

A safe and sane proven microwave treatment device process is now available worldwide. The piece of mind answer to harsh and lethal use of poison gas.

There is no longer any excuse for property owners to pay for and allow the tenting and gas poisoning of their properties just to kill a few termites. There is also no excuse or reason for residence and their families to put themselves at risk of pesticide poisoning or even death just to kill a few termites. What’s more important?, a families life, health and future or killing a few termites?

Spread the word that poison termite gas applied inside any human dwelling is no longer needed to control termites. When a termite company insists that poison gas is the only option available to kill a termite colony then beware and prepare to shop elsewhere. If they convince you that you and your family will be safe and at no risk, then don’t forget to at least ask them if any humans or pets have been killed by the poison gas they intend to use and if an antidote for the poison is available should you or a family member become ill anytime after the treatment. You will be surprised to find out that numerous human and animal deaths occur annually from direct as well as indirect exposure to all types of poison gas used in termite treatment. Additionally, there are no antidotes for these extremely hazardous poisons. They are so lethal that persons contracting to have their home treated, must first review and sign a detailed written legal disclaimer that discloses the high risk dangers of its use. [/b]

If you're talking about the ground termites similar to what we get in AZ, those guys that build "tunnels" to the walls, there is a much less expensive --read darn cheap--way to get rid of them. Go to Home Depot/Lowes/hardware store and buy a container of boric acid. (last time I looked, about $4.) Go to an animal feed store and buy a portion of a bag of FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH. Go back to the "tunnels" with those two items and a small garden trowel. Use t he trowel to pull a bit of the earth away from the foundation at the place where the termites have the tunnel coming up from the ground, and about a foot on both sides of it. carefully lay out a line of boric acid and a line (on top of the BA) of the DE. Mix it up a little.
The DE is food grade, and won't hurt kids or pets, the boric acid is poisonous, and will injure them, and plants. Don't put Boric acid anyplace you want plants.

break the tunnel. The termites walk through the powders and take it back to the colony and they get it too. It may take several days, and a few applications, but it will (always has for me) killed the colony.

I use both for other insect control, too.
I use the FGDE both on and in my animal to control pests when necessary. Other people use the FGDE to spray on plants to eliminate unwanted critters. Google it to find the many uses.
