Has anyone ever heard of the Formosa "Super" Termite? I have a home that was built in 2006 that has them. I called Hometeam Pest Control as they were the company that pre-treated the house but there contract says the Formosa termite was excluded as there is no permanant treatment available for them at this time. With a little research these colonies can average 3 million and can eat 1,000 lbs of wood per year. Please let me know if you know of any solutions.

Please if you have the time and interest, check out this fascinating youtube about a nontoxic natural method for termite protection/prevention. Not ready for market yet, but I want to be first in line when they start selling this stuff!
Very informative, Thanks

hey Susan! Thanks for posting that link. That gives me some hope. I wonder if could just stick a couple of mushrooms in their nest and it take care of them?

He has patents in place. I wonder how far out this is from being available. Thanks for sharing this Susan!
My husband is in Oregon this week. Maybe he can sneak out to an old growth forest and bring some home on his boot.
