The termite inspector came this afternoon. He took one look at our little pile of sawdust and said "Oh dear!"
Not exactly what I wanted to hear.
We have drywood termites. The inspector's recommendation is to tent the house. The company will cover our house with a giant tent and pump poison gas into it; we will have to be out for 2 nights. The gas dissipates after the tent is removed, but we will need to remove or bag anything taken orally. In general this means food and medicine. In our case it means just about everything in the house!
I obviously need to do more research into tenting and its health ramifications. But right now my mind is just swimming with all the stuff we'll need to box up and remove.
