What can I do about termites in the wall studs?

Answer by  GilFinn (2065)

If the damage is too severe, you'll have to repair/replace the studs. But to get rid of the termites completely, you'll probably have to have a whole house fumigation.

You need to rip out all of the infected studs and replace them, after you replace all of the infected studs you need to call an exterminator and have the entire area proffesionally sprayed. Make sure you check regularly for anymore infestations. Act fast because they will ruin a structure.

Get rid of them like yeserday. You need to call an exterminater if they have gotten into a building because anything you can buy in a store or greenhouse shouldn't be used in a closed space. And the exterminater can put stuff in the walls so they won't come back and reinfest.

For termites in wall studs, the best choice is to call a bug control expert. If the termites are not handles correctly, your house could collapse.
