In article , john.keiser2 @verizon.net says... :) I have a 2600 square foot house in Hawaii. The local termite company wants :) $2300 to treat it with Tim-bor. That sounds excessive to me since the :) chemical itself is available for $80/50 pounds [covers 10,000 square feet :) surface area]. :) :) The salesman suggested the product would just be sprayed/painted on. Even :) allowing for a couple hundred pounds of Tim-Bor, I'm thinking this is a :) labor charge of $2,000. :) :) How much do termite company's charge elsewhere? :) :) Thanks for any comments. Sounds very excessive. If you want I can have a lady who owns a Pest control company in Hawaii email you...don't remember which island...but she will shoot straight for you and probably can give you recommendations on who to use on the different islands.
I myself have never treated a whole house with Timbor, and usually don't charge existing customers when treating an exposed area with it. It's cheap stuff.
