Help, my organic principles are being tested. I have discovered termite trails
in the bark of a young maple tree (~8 years old). This tree is only 40 feet
from the house front porch where carpenter ants did about $8000 worth of
damage... which will take me another year just to pay off. I cannot afford
termite damage. What is a way I can get rid of the termites (including cutting
the tree down) without sending them to my house? I do live in an area with a
lot of termites... my neighbor had to rebuild part of his house due to damage
and he also sprayed a tree that had them. I suspect those termites just packed
up and headed to my chemical free property.
