Please Help Me Before Termites Collapse My Building by emmanuelrabb(m): 7:24am On Nov 26, 2018
Good morning everyone

I live beside a river which only flows during raining season.
For like Four months now, I have been noticing the presence of termite in my compound and also having problems with termite feeding on the planks of my 3 year old building and I've been fumigating it every time since then. I kept on noticing the that they still feed on the planks. I've not been able to get their base in my compound despite serious searching. The worst happened yesterday when the whole ceiling of one of the rooms of the building came down. Thanks to God no one was there.


Please do anyone know what else I can do to get rid of termites completely from my compound.

Termites are a nuisance as can be seen by this damage done. If there are several colonies it will take a while to eradicate but these are measures you can take:
First identify the termite specie... subterranean termite Spp or Drywood Termite. If it's the former you will see mudtubes on walls,wood from the soil, if the Drywood they basically stay and feed in the wood.
To "control" the Subterranean termite you may have to dig a trench with depth of 1ft around your building and pour termiticide, pls note that if termites are already in building and from foundation you may need an expert to help with termiticide injection. You can support this treatment with termite bait installed around your building.
For Drywood Termite since the infestation is quite extensive,replace all damaged wood with treated wood and treat all other wood with wood preservatives.
You can reach me on 07044405763 for more information.
