Fumigation

While not being a termite specialist I would still hazard a serious guess that the insects infesting Capstan's vessel is not the "drywood or formosan termite" but rather the Caribbean Termite. These nasty critters are the ones you will find in that environment. Termidor will work fine on them but I am not sure at all what the high temperature will do. They do like some moisture and have spread to the southern reaches of Fla. They will grow wings and spread out to other areas each spring.

Now let's be clear BandB "I AM Not" getting professional treatment!
It's for the boat.
They are going to use Termidor. It has not been passed in the US for inside spray which is, from what I gather, due to red tape as one of the products they also use has basically the same makeup and was passed a number of years ago.

Termidor has a number of different products and is widely sold in the US and used indoors by homeowners even if not approved for that use. They also have a DRY version. That allows it to be applied to wood but not be wet. Plus they can put baits out and detect whether you continue to have termites or not. Sounds like the way to go.

I had termites in my boat and tried all the bombs and concentrates myself to no avail. Then I had Fumeout, Inc. from ft.Pierce tent the boat while at the slip for $800. They gave a 1 year warranty and had to come back and tent the boat again...for free. They stand behind their service. I have a 30 ft. sportfisherman with outriggers that they worked around, all while in the water! Good folks...
