what about wood termites?

The Orange Guard has killed every insect that I've sprayed. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't kill the termites as long as you can get the spray on them.

I am not sure about wood termites and would call the maker of the product. Also, I would research some of the natural sites and post questions on their site. Good luck!

I have only heard stories, some people say it worked, some - didn't. It didn't work for me for ants, either. But I guess, we either got a serious invasion or I bought too little to do the big job. In honesty, Orkin didn't help either. We found another company that got rid of them naturaly. Wonders happen. So, if You have termites, I'd advise You to seek professional help - otherwise You'd put too much money into this product, too much time and efforts, and there is no guarantee. This is what I'd do. But at the end - it's Your decision. Good Luck!

That would be a no. This wood is not naturally resistant to wood burrowing insects. Only preventative measure is for you to apply a wood sealant approximately every two years depending on your weather conditions and it's usage.

Dear Gregory,Thank you for writing. Mason bees nest in existing holes, and they don't damage wood the way carpenter bees do. Our Mason Bee House is designed specifically to attract Mason Bees, so we would not recommend it for your purposes.We appreciate your interest, nonetheless!Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else.Sincerely, DarcyCustomer Service

Worms need bedding (newspapers, cardboard, coconut coir, peat moss, ect) for the majority of their habitat. Kitchen scraps exclusively would be too hot. I live in TX and my worms do fine in the heat, just keep them moist (wrung out sponge).

The product was designed to work best for subterranean termite control. Try Beneficial Nematodes for ants. Spray right on the moving ant trial. Bye Ants!!!!

Unfortunately, I do not know what species it is. It is a rather hard wood as opposed to pine, I would say its closer to say a Poplar or Maple. Up here in NJ we do get some pretty humid days (about 30 to 40 from June to August) and sometimes well into September but nothing like what you get in a Tropic Zone. We also get extreme cold as well in the winter. All I can add is that I keep mine outside under a covered porch away from rain and snow year round and the stools I purchased look as good as the day I got them.

Yes you could but depending in where you live moisture and termites could be a problem. If the problem is moisture you could mount the plywood on a frame of pressure treated 2 x 4s or 2 x 6s. We use ours in the desert where moisture is not a problem but termites are so we mounted ours on cement board. Hope this helps.

They are praying mantis. They are green and will grow to about 5 inches or so. They eat insects so they are good to have around your house and they don't bother anything. They are not as skinny as walking sticks.

Jennifer, Probably not. First, Timbor is not that good for "controlling" an existing problem. Especially when targeting carpenter ants. Second, its designed to protect wood and this is done by coating the surface of cellulose before it gets a problem - not after the problem exists. So if you have an active infestation, you'll be best served to use something like Drione Dust. This product works great and will penetrate the nest through and through when puffed into entrance/exit holes. Alternatively you can use Carpenter Ant Gel or something like Phantom Aerosol as well.

if you have termites, you should get a pro to treat your house. he will get treatment into the ground where they live. this will only kill on the surface.

Not sure, Beth, but it is some lethal stuff so I would imagine it to be pretty effective against any sort of insect. It says that it kills termites, so...

The product will dry with a white haze on a finished floor. The product should be mixed with water and sprayed under the hard wood floor or on the sill plate or floor joist. The product soaks into the wood and when the termite find the wood they eat it and return to the nest where it then kills of the rest of them.

South American hardwoods...check their website...it's quite informative. Great product, by the way, very big chunks...sometimes I have to split 'em up to fit in my chimney starter. I've ordered several bags.

Not preferably but if you do make sure you dry and oil it with coconut or olive etc to keep it healthy. Wood is wood so it will biodegrade if you do not take care of it.

I've used a brush to paint it on freshly sanded hardwood floors before staining and varnishing. It did not leave any residue and the floors looked beautiful when done. I think painting it on is a valid option. I chose this option to make sure I was getting a LOT of the solution soaking in. I felt like spraying would be uneven and might miss spots. Slathering it on with a brush seemed better and after 12 years there has been no sign of termites.

Probably, but all wood in contact with earth will do what wood naturally does - deteriorate over time.

No wood, it's bees wax surrounding a vinyl flange. The wax compresses against the floor and the bowl forming a seal. I wonder if the ant problem you're having is more of an issue with the flooring material or the sub-floor which is generally wood.
