That is what I am checking into now. I read that nemotodes can be used,
but I think they must be in the soil to live, so I think they are used
as a barrier. I already have Formosan termites, and they are in my
attic, so I don't think they can help. So far, that is all I have found
as far as treating naturally. I am between a rock and a hard spot here -
I have avoided the use of insecticides before, because I believe (as you
do) that they cause more problems than we know about. Now, though, I am
faced with the prospect of losing my home. I am considering doing the
chemical treatment, but moving out of the home for a period of time
before coming back.

Dear Wendy,
As someone with young onset P.D. and no family
history of it I have my own theories perhaps I'm wrong but then again
maybe I'm right.
Our home was regularly sprayed for termites (I'm not sure what the pest
exterminator used).
My bedroom was sprayed each night for mosquitos as I climbed into bed
in summer.
We had Derris Dust on the vegetables and plants and Parkinsonism can be
induced in mice when exposed to Derris Dust.
As far as the effects on those already with P.D. go I'm not sure if I've
been much help as far as termite spray is concerned but for the sake of
others living in your home it might be worth thinking about.
Is there some sort of natural alternative that can be used?
Lee

We just found out we have termites. Orkin is proposing treating our
house with the following pesticides:
Boricare, Termidore, Premise II, and Centricon bait system. Does anyone
know about any effects of these products on PWP?
Thanks!
Wendy
