Hire termite dogs and get to the root of the problem, what ever it takes. If you chose Vikane, expect to retreat every few years. Please, before you decide research Vikane on the internet in terms of toxicity. Know the facts not just what you are told. Bill ACI In a message dated 5/20/2010 9:50:58 A.M.

Hi All, I am seeking advice on a termite problem we are having at my museum. We have determined that we have drywood termites infested in the front lobby of our museum. Our extermination company of course wants to fumigate the entire museum. We know that this not possible, so my questions are as follows: The exterminator wants to use Vikane Gas. Is this the correct gas to use? Will it harm artwork if the gas leaked into a gallery? Is t his the proper way to exterminate drywood termintes? This is definitely not something that we have ever had to deal with before, so any suggestions on how to fix this infestation would be greatly appreciated.
