[QUOTE="DPI, post: 1584071, member: 793"] The first house I owned had been remodeled and had a large underground storm shelter added under a new room at the end of the house. A portion, about a foot tall, of the storm shelter concrete was exposed. I noticed these small dirt tunnels going up the exposed area of the concrete. They were termite tunnels. I knocked them down at first, but overnight the little boogers would rebuild them. I put down some bug spray and that did nothing, I even tried gasoline on the concrete, which killed them until it dried and they were right back at it. Finally I called a termite exterminator and they were able to resolve it permanently. My point is, exposed concrete will not stop termites, but at least you can see the trails going into the structure. [/QUOTE]
