Termite Treatment of Our Home

For decades we avoided getting our house tented for termites. We dreaded getting this done because: the gas is poisonous, our roof is made of breakable Spanish tile, we would have to prepare the house for the treatment, and we (and our cats) would be displaced for a couple of days. For a long time, we had "spot treatments" for termite control, but over the summer the termites swarmed. Reluctantly we arranged with Borite to have our house treated.
