Ever wonder what termite images will look like? Check out the link and you can see how warrior-like and nuisance those tiny creatures really are drilling your wood furniture. I know my craft cabinet is going to dissolve soon. This is what happen when you buy cheap furniture made from untreated wood..huhu!
What should I do with the infested furniture? Reading what the readers ask on the website made me shudder in fear. Quoted here, “If a piece of furniture is infested, you can either trash it (which may not be a big deal if it’s old or used) or have it treated. Treatment will require a pest control company. Usually they will drill a hole in it and pump in pesticides in liquid or foam form. It may not be worth it if the furniture is cheap. However, you CAN’T just let things be, because if you do, they will migrate from the furniture into your home in general. If you have already had the furniture inside, you should get your house inspected as well.”
I have about 2-3 wood furniture situated nearby the infested crafts cabinet. Those bunch of furniture are quite expensive, I spent around RM3000 for the TV cabinet, a side cabinet and the crafts display cabinet..huhu! Should I get help from pest control company or just let it be?
Lesson learned, next time buy treated wood furniture from IKEA..heh!
