Ok, I've DAGS and I think I know the answer to this but thought I'd see if it matches with what the current wisdom suggests. I live in NM where termites are plentiful. I've seen them in my yard and a while back, I even had them in my house. We had a professional out that treated the entire house yet two years later, the termites were in the house chomping away. The pro came back and retreated the area but quite frankly I'm not all that confident that it's going to keep me safe. He was using Timbor (???...a borax solution of some sort). What I'm thinking about doing is applying Termidor myself. After reading the literature on it, it seems pretty simple to do. Trench to the footing and apply at the specified rate. I do have approx 30 feet of slab I will need to drill and inject so I still need to figure that piece out but overall, it seems pretty foolproof. What am I missing here? What are the cons of doing my own treatment other than no warranty (which given my previous experience, I'm not overly confident a warranty really means anything)? Cheers, jlc
