reyondit.wiki-site.com documents: diy termite inspection treatment and repair

as soon as you see a mud tunnel, immediately treat the area with mapecon's f3 plus termite control powder. also remove the mud tunnel so that the next time a new mud tunnel appears, you know it's a new one. the powder wipes out the entire colony because termites kiss each other when they meet so they infect each other with the f3 powder. eventually the poison will reach the queen. killing the soldier and worker termites is useless because the queen quickly replenishes them. the only way to kill the entire colony is to kill the queen and reserve queens.

you can order the f3 plus powder in lazada for P390:

here's a photo of the dead termite hives above my room:

in the attic, i also saw about 5 small mud tunnels around the middle part of the house but no major damage to the beams. the good news is that 90%of the attic is termite free and looks like this:

i read in the internet that wooden objects near the house attracts termites. sure enough i saw a live termite hive by the stack of wood so i destroyed the hive and cleared the area.

the support beams of the cabinet in the laundry room was eaten by termites and it was dangerously being held by 2 bottles of pepsi so i repaired it and replaced the damaged boards. now i'm using it as a linen cabinet for airbnb. i also replaced the leaking faucet with a pvc assembly:
