Termite Problems - How to handle ?

Hi all,

My tenant just emailed me and said that there are termites ( must be dry wood ) running around on the walls / carpet in their 2nd floor unit.

So, what would you do to try and control this problem and minimize the cost.

I think I read that you must get professional help on this.
There is the Orange Oil options vs fumigation ( hopefully not ).

What suggestions, tips , options do I have ?

Thanks, LA Guy
:cry:

They do both. They most build tunnels and live in the walls. But once in a while they swarm and start boiling out of the walls.
