Can’t they just termite tent the place and nuke them?
Thats what they are going to try next. The insurance company (state farm) is refusing their claim.
I'd suggest freezing them with liquid nitrogen. Safer. . . drain the pipes, release the supercooled gas, and freeze the place. Dead, dead, dead.
Sometimes, but not always, the answer to your question is answered in the article. In this case, the last two paragraphs.
That’s what’s being done now with something that kills the eggs as well. There have to be egg sacks everywhere in that house in the walls, behind cabinets, etc. That’s something that doesn’t happen over night. Did the prior owner/bank know about them? What about the inspector who did the inspection for the buyer and lender. There is no way an infestation even 1/4 that size should have been missed. There is a potential claim against both the inspection company and prior owner. If the prior owner was a bank then they would have an earlier inspection when they foreclosed on the property plus one before it was sold if they had it for more than a few months due to the damage vacant/foreclosed homes get while waiting sale
The insurance company is correct it’s not covered.
WD 40 works wonders on them. And their eggs.
