Default Feedback about Orange Oil Terminte Treatment?

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...
http://www.orangeoiltermitecontrol.com/

Thanks in advance!

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.

F:

The trick with termites is getting to where they are. As they make a habit
of walling off their
galleries with digested debris whenever they breach into an opened space,
you somehow
have to get through that. Volatile gases like the halogens used in termite
work accomplish this.
The pressures and closure you would need for a liquid to do the same seem to
debunk
the prospect.

Interestingly, if you do open the galleries and the abundant Argentinian
army ants which also infest Southern California are around, goodbye
termites. In fact, PBS had a show recently
sited in Africa where the locals effectively used certain ants in their
houses after they had exposed termite activity.

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly
Perhaps she'll die

Curious to know your decision about the termite problem? Orange Oil or
another method?
Thank you
