Default Tenting house + Fumigation for Drywood Termites
I found swarming drywood termites in my home (built 1992). Massey didn't cover me for them when I purchased my home a year ago. They only suggested subterranean termite protection. Massey is saying I should tent my house and fumigate. This takes 3+ days and will cost over $2,000.

I really don't want to do this.

Has any Villager witnessed or undergone a house tenting in The Villages?

Any 'do-it-yourself' solutions out there?

Suggestions and comments gratefully received.

Odysseus's last post on the subject was that the termites came from a chair he/she bought in a consignment shop. He threw it out, the termites are gone.


I think it wise to continue the termite protection that is applied on a new home and is good for at least five years.
