Now I have to deal with termites flying in the room and droppings in the window seal in this old house. I am thinking I need to move because my kids don't need to be in this! Well I had to call the landlord but he has done nothing but he makes sure to collect his rent alright! I can't stand this so I had to find a solution until the exterminator or Terminex man (however you call 'em) comes to rid the house of these nasty termites.
Termites love heat and yes, I notice they pop up when there is a lot of heat (Yeah, definitely during those summer months....ughhhh). They also seem to have come through some opening they chewed through the window.....so of course, common sense, my solution to that was keep that window closed! "Uh duh, Jamie!". Well that solution helped well. Next comes the bug spray, I know it may only work temporarily but it seems have certainly got rid of those nasty pest from flying and crawling in the bedroom. I sprayed a lot of Hot Shot and Black Flag in the window and around the corners of places they may have been chewing through..... Voila! No more of those little buggers to be found! Only their gross droppings which I had to clean up, "Ewww".
Well, I hope this last until I get professional help. Until then, If they return, which I am assuming they will, I did a little online research on home remedies to get rid of termites (while they chew your house to pieces).
Hopefully this stuff works and may be beneficial to others having the same problem as myself with termites....
