Southern California has had lots of rain and cold temps followed by warm temps. This fall sould be a banner year for termites. I understand that the Hawaiian island are having an epidemic. Do not use oil based termite killing products. Do not waste your time with spray and stuff that you put on top of the wood. From my experience these do not work or are bad for you and your environment. Orange oil works! I tried it and it realy does the job. It is organic and smells nice. You can buy it from Amazon so you can do it yourself, no need to pay a pest control company. To use orange oil you will need a glass

syringe and #18 guage needle. They can be used over and over. Glass syringes and #18 guage needle can be purchased over the inter net. Here is how to do it:
Carefully fill the syringe with about 5 cc’s of orange oil and attach the needle. Find the hole in the wood where the termites are pushing out their waste. Gently push the needle into the hole and inject the orange oil. The orange oil will travel thru the grain of the wood and kill the termites.
