2) Formosan Termites (another loving gift from China) were discovered in a two-story structure.
How do you eliminate them?
One of the most common forms of treatment used against formosan termites is fumigation. Vikane is a popular fumigant used by pest control companies to fumigate for Formosan Termites. However, unless your soil has been treated, fumigating the home will not keep Formosan Termites from returning.
