I've noticed before that one of these was half gone, but never gave it much thought since I just moved it. Then today while out back, I noticed two more trees that had termite-type damage.

Are these gone then? What are my options with them?: cut them down and remove, cut down and burn (fire pit). Is it possible to treat this at all?

Another question - I have extremely old trees in the front yard (100+ yrs). How can I protect these from the same damage?

Thanks.

How do I find out what's doing it, and how do I stop them? I tried pouring mole repellant into the holes, but it did nothing. I also see holes in other spots near the foundation, but nothing like this....it's pretty ugly looking.

Thanks!

Here is the dirt pile, the other picture is what the rest of the rock area looks like...

What is the too small for naked eye little critter that crawls all over you and bites like mad,altho doesnt leave a mark or welt,,,you just feel the bite,,you rub it and get this tiny grit of sand type thing off your skin.

IF I spray Tempo all around it goes away or gets alot less for a couple weeks and then comes roaring back.

Darn aggravating o be setting in the easy chair rubbing these critters off of you all night, ANY ways of 'permanent' removal of them,not the temp spray ways?? ]]> Pest Control 4just1don http://www.diychatroom.com/f51/mites-fleas-house-55912/ http://www.diychatroom.com/f51/cabbage-bugs-55718/ Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:47:49 GMT something loves my new cabbage plants I have tried sevin dust ,a soapy solution with tobacco,hot pepper sauce, any ideas?? something loves my new cabbage plants I have tried sevin dust ,a soapy solution with tobacco,hot pepper sauce, any ideas?? ]]> Pest Control elcheepo http://www.diychatroom.com/f51/cabbage-bugs-55718/ http://www.diychatroom.com/f51/bees-bathroom-drain-pipe-55400/ Sun, 18 Oct 2009 04:07:13 GMT I have a bee problem but I cannot figure out from where.

Is that possible? most of the time they are dead or just crawling (only 2 were flying) and in the sink or tub. I was in the room once when there was one crawling in the sink and next thing I saw 2 in the sink. I did not notice any flying in. Can they crawl through water? I use that sink and the trap should be full.

Termites typically get a bad rap and especially if you talking about them in terms of pest control. However, it may surprise you to learn that these tiny little insects actually play a positive role in the area of plant material and recycling wood. When these insects perform their tunneling capabilities they are actually creating an environment for soil that is porous and full of nutrients in order to establish good plant growth. Your local pest control las Vegas company can explain to you the good and bad roles termites play in the environment. However, if you do recognize that you may have a problem with termites it is important to call your pest control company right away in order to prevent more damage from occurring.
