Dead dog bro your house and its environ will become a forbidden area for termites. You will be happy again.

Am also troubled by the pests.
But how would the termites know your fence boundary after burying the dog? In order not to come in again?
Just Curious

I don't think that dog of a thing works,I had of this thing while searching for a solution to termites wahala,unfortunately my dog died and it was buried in my compound,the termites where still there.

dig 2meters deep round your compound and pour the chemical and close it,spray all affected parts if possible your roof too.

No I didn't bury a dog but I keep on fumigating the house every six months and they still keep on disturbing

Fumigation or not it really comes down to who deals with termites in order to make sure you got rid of them. We had a huge issue in Ballarat a few years ago and had to bring in pest control services. I wasn't sure if they will be able to deal with them as the termites were literally in every corner of the house and I was freaking out about it. They told me to relax and let them take care of it once and for all the way they do for years. After a week there was no sign of them and it was a big relief.

How far now ? Has anyone tried the dog solution ?

First of all, you have to reroof your building with stronger woods. Then secondly as the new wood are being nailed in place, the carpenter using a paint brush applies condemned engine oil on the wood.

That is like painting the planks black using condemned engine oil. This should last a lifetime as the hydrocarbon present in the oil will never wear off making the wood uninhabitable for the termites.

Don't bother about people saying fumigate (some just dey sell market) because after a while the effect of the fumigation wears off and insects are all over the place again.

This is how it's done in the town I grew up in.
Interesting...

Solignum is another product
to use for wood coating.

That is what it looks like, termites are very difficult to deal with
Re: Help Me Before Termites Collapse My Building by KINGKONG(m): 6:35pm On Jul 16, 2023
Visit the nearest florist and ask for termite repellent plant........ It looks like lemon grass but a little harder than lemon grass.... It works real good
