Cheaper for the company, cheaper for us. The EATK manufacturer promises that termites will eat the dead poisoned bodies of their family members and die, in a serial kuru x Jonestown banquet, But would it work? The bugs did make a couple of short-lived attempts to return in odd, untreated spots, but the guy came and did "spot treatments" (like your Raid can, but loaded with EATK). The house has been termite-free for several years now. The EATK does seem to keep much of the wood (not all) off limits to the dry-wood termites. Now something is eating holes in the wood on which my orchids grow.
