Our somewhat new to us old boat has dry wood termites.
We had found them in the plywood hatch covers of the settee uder the seat cushions. Thinking they were just isolated to those we removed all the hatches of that type (about 6) and placed them in the oven for 3 hours at 200 degrees. However it appears the little buggers may be in the main bulkhead, this weekend we found some wings and new signs of pellets in that area.
Does anyone have a fairly cheap method of fumigating the interior of the boat? I have read that a fairly large amound of dry ice can do the job but have found it difficult and pricey to locate enough.
A quote from some local pest control fellow was $1000. He stated they had to wrap the top of the boat with a tent. Ehh, considering it is pretty water tight I imagine a few plastic bags and some painters tape would seal it.
Anyone have any suggestions on a solution for under $1000? I just have a hard time paying that much money to kill some bugs in such a small area.
