[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3230262, member: 15054"] Sister had termites and had the Orkin contract since day one and her exterior wall would sway in and out over a foot each way!! Orkin said it was not termites as they were treating for them and it was ants and NO contract on ants..I replaced all the wood in the walls and removed all the termite dirt ..Yea ants. F them companies. I got termites in my wood pile and they will eat wood and plastic. they ate a plastic wheel barrow my father-in -law had. Concrete..I seen mice chew a hole through that. Maybe termites will. Old guy told my buddy dig a channel around the perimeter of your house with a shovel. basically stick the shovel in against the foundation and pull it back to make a channel. Pour used engine oil into the channel and let is soak in. He claimed NO termites come near his house. Oil will degrade concrete over time I am told. But I have not seen it happen yet. Even on oil soaked driveways. I have seen termites nest in Cedar slabs also. I heard they would not attack cedar. Things you hear. [/QUOTE]
