Hello,
Today we discovered hundreds of winged subterranean termites and larva in a
corridor and bathroom near our collections workroom. The termites are coming up
through the floors via the trim and through the tile grout in the bathroom. The
termites are moving down the corridor toward collections areas. Our facilities
staff was instructed to spray the pests with windex and vacuum them up. This
doesn’t seem to be a sound solution to our infestation in my opinion. Am I
wrong? Our building is treated
yearly for termites, but this infestation has me concerned. What
recommendations do you have for this issue?
I have attached an image of just one of the traps that I set out this morning.
Thank you for your time and any suggestions you have.
All the best,
Beth Carter
