REFLECTOR:Termites, fumigation and fiberglass

[lawrence epstein]

After being faced with Termite infestation some years ago I sepnt a great 
deal of time investigationg the various approaches.
I settled on on the Sentricon bait system.  This appears to be at least as 
effective as any spray/barrier approach (although not as rewarding as 
knowing you have a massive instant kill!) and MUCH safer for your health & 
that of the environment.
Not to mention that there is no exposure to your baby (The aircraft)
Just my 2 cents

btw-all bait systems are not created equal  Sentricon(Dow) is different & 
only sold via licensed Installers.
