Termite issues
Hey DIY I just bought this house about eight or nine years ago and I just found out it's got some termite encroachment issues, as shown. Was wondering if I could DIY this job, maybe buy a couple ant eaters and set them loose since the property is fully fenced in what do you think?

Those don't look like termites to me.

Giant anteaters are excellent at making burrows so your fence would be pointless. Smaller anteaters are excellent climbers, so your fence would be pointless.

What about an electric fence with shock collar?

if anteaters eat termites its only because they can tear open rotted logs.

Auntie wont be able to get at termites under sheetrock and sliding without removing that material.

Drill small holes in sheetrock and spray in termite poison and patch with Crest.

>termite encroachment issues, as shown.
Those big termites like that are great with cocktail sauce.
