help sa termite control!

[_Cathy_]

Yup. Thats a common cause, especially if you live in an old subdivision w large trees and old houses which make use of wood liberally.

Are you psychic?

OT: Is it true that Mango trees are notorious for destroying the foundation? We have a mango tree near our gate which can't be opened anymore because it got misaligned. We had all our Mango trees cut except for the one farthest from the house and I am thinking it is the cause for the misaligned gate. I hope the roots don't crawl all the way to the foundation. It could the cause for anay din pala

I recently had some infestation and i had to pay a hefty sum to apply some traps in the house. Its the easiest way of killing the colony. Applying kerosene or oil is just a stop gap measure. To really be effective, you must kill the queen.

Haha... nope. I just happen to live in an area that's old, with old wooden houses and large trees.

Trees with large roots can displace the foundation, pavement, or walls as they grow in size. If your remove trees, gagalaw din yung pinagtanggalan. We recently removed some bamboo trees in the back of the house and the pavement next to the plant box sunk so we had to dig up and reconcrete and re-lay the Vigan tiles. Also had to redo a post of the gate as it was starting to move when the gate would be opened.

If your gate is misaligned, check the hinges as well as these can be worn out by the weight of the gate over time.

Paano ba ang chemical application kung ang ceiling ay sealed na at yung perimeter ng house ay sementado.
Nagkaroon kasi ng termite infestation ang bahay namin dati na nagsimula sa mga cabinets at gumapang sa kisame (malamang epekto ito nung nakapasok ang tubig baha sa aming bahay noon). Ngayon baklas na yung cabinets at napalitan na rin ang ceilings na affected.
After the removal of the termite infested part, Solignum was sprayed sa mga natirang termite-free woodwork.
Pero ngayon the wifey contracted a local termite company with a tag price of 25k without giving me a heads up.
Please guide me kung paano ko masusulit at maging reliable ang termite control operation na gagawin. Btw, wala ng anay na nakikita sa ngayon at meron pala akong deepwell about 10feet away from one of my concrete wall.

Just get mapecon to do the job. I tried a lot of stuff but lipat lipat lang.

Called mapecon and 2 years na walang termites. Also parang for 2 years meron quarterly check up and re treatment so sulit na.

[macsd]

It's strange as to why with in 2 months lang eh meron ng anay agad after ng service ng pestcontrol. Something is wrong with your pestcontrol provider.

The best pest controller eh pati yung ipis at daga matatangal din nila.

[confused shoes]

^ Paano ba nakakatawid ang mga anay sa concrete? Sa amin kasi bagong gawa lang (one year) pero lumabas yung mga anay sa wall outlet. Strange.

[jasonub]

Wall outlet ang tawiran. Mapecon did a perimeter application. Pati kapit bahay namin binungkal nila to apply thier chemicals.

Then all outlets were treated. All baseboards and cornice were also treated. Gardens too. Pet friendly ang chemicals nila. Iirc. But when i bought a beagle lahat inaamoy at dinidillaan or kinakain. OT na hehe.

Mga 20+ din iirc for an area of about 500sqm

Paano bro ang application sa mga kisame nyo?

[jasonub]

Injected lang sa cornice. My kisame is made out of cement boards. They dont seem to want to eat those.

Anong magandang pamatay ng infestation ng linta sa garden ? Pwede din ba solignum o malatayon sa linta?

[holdencaulfield]

panong linta? baka slug lang yan.

yung linta parang bulateng itim, may segments yung katawan at maiksi (depende).

yung slug na itim makinis yung dorsal area at may parang antennae (dun nakakabit yung mga mata). yung under part niya light to white color.

yun nga lang, yung slug naninira ng leafy plants.

From your description, it's the slug as they come out from the bermuda grass pero minsan gumagapang sa pader and they only come out at night. Thus yung ilang plants nagkamatay na rin as in nag dry ang mga leafs.

[macsd]

sorry double post.

[12vdc]

Alaga ka ng manok sa garden, ubos yan linta at bulate..

Btt..ingat lang po sa termite control lalo na yung powder, carcinogen yung hydrocarbons na masisinggot nyo ask ur local entomologist baka resistant yung pest..

[simplydhens08]

Sino po may contact sa mapecon. Meron din infestation ng anay sa house ko. Magkno po ba ang rate nila.thanks

[jasonub]

They have website bro just google

[papi smith]

What I am doing now is buy Bayer Agenda and apply it myself before pouring slab on fill, I will buy the bait separately when the house is finished. In our current house, termite treatment was done after it was constructed so NoKaOi did the bait system.
