Title: Termites
Post by: USNRetired on September 25, 2010, 08:15:37 AM
Can anyone suggest/tell/advise me of the best way to treat/kill/destroy termites?  We have a termite infestation in the back of our  American Clipper.  Must be anti-American bigs and I need to kill them off.  Then start the process of repairing their damage.  (sigh)

There has to be some kind of "bug bomb" I can buy!  The shell on the American Clipper is head and shoulders above any kind of tent.  Plus there has to be something out there "big brother" hasn't banned or super controlled.

   Hi Jim, I just heard from my buddy...

   He said the Best way to tackle  a job like this i to tent the rig!!!

   It is not "Uncommon "" to tent an Rv..

   HE did tell me that you should contact a small company.!!! 

   The big companies will bite your wallet Big time.  where as the smaller companies will only nibble.  Plus afogger will not get into the spots that may be home to the termites

That is why ya have to tent...  Sorry Jim...  But my Buddy has been doing this for 26 yrs
and has done several Big rigs...    John
