Drywood termites are often introduced into our homes on antique furniture or family heirlooms. You have several options. Individual termite galleries within furniture can be spot treated with termiticides. This process does involve drilling small holes into the piece of furniture, and the efficacy is limited to the known areas of termite infestation. Termite infested furniture can also be placed into a vault and fumigated. This ensures all the termites within the piece are killed and eliminates the need to drill into your furniture or antiques.If several items are infested, you may decide to fumigate the entire house to eliminate any termites in the furniture and any that may have spread to the home itself. Heat treatments may also be done on furniture, but be aware that heat may damage sensitive items.
