They rely on capillary action of their mud? tunnels to draw water up, so house smells after rain
Along with Takata Air Bag Recall, and related stripping of one Paj and building another,
and the covid lock down battle, I have also been in a termite battle for a couple of years, possibly more.
Combination of not being taken seriously at first, and a change of contractors causing a loss of job info being passed on.
When finally believed, the termite treatment was a 6 months thing, before any works were allowed.
Then covid stuffed up the works, so only 2 damaged windows have been replaced.
I got sick of the smell of mud, dust and mold, so been using my non Paj lock down time to strip the affected wood.
Tis only a lining to protect walls from my wifes (ex) wheelchair.
Nothing structural.
I was hoping to be out the house tripping in my old Paj, not stuck at home building an older one.
but at least it's more liveable now.
