Anyone have personal experience with treating their own house with
orange oil (D-limonene) or similar type product? .... how effective it,
toxicity compared with more commonly used methods, etc.

Here is one company I'm looking at...

Thanks in advance!

S:

According to an article in the L.A. Times about 2 years back, only the
common gas
treatments involving tenting are really effective. That includes oils,
microwaving and freezing
approaches amongst the discredited. If you are not certain of your gassing
provider, a friend in the industry says to weigh the bottle before
application as certain unscrupulous individuals have been known to pad the
bottom line by providing service with a depleted container.

Might ask, if limonene works, how come there are termites in Orange
County?

Don't think there is enough data on limonene. I know from personal
experience with ant spray, that it did not work and stunk up kitchen.
