I had the building and pest inspection done, and they found that there have been termites in the house, but they are not there anymore. It has not been treated, so they are still there somewhere, guessing under the slab. So anyway has anyone had there place sprayed or drilled lately, just wondering around how much it will set me back.

Could save you a hell of a lot more later on Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56389-what-a-pest/#findComment-855463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
