It’s 10 years old, made by rainbow and cost right at $3000. My youngest kids have just about outgrown it but I was hoping it would last long enough for grandkids.

If I replace the pieces that are most ate up and drown the dirt around it with termite poison am I making the playset toxic for small children?

Termite poison lasts longer than a month.

Replace all wood effected.
Not just the worst.

Move it 20'.

Replace damaged pieces and call pros to spray/treat.

See if Rainbow makes tents that fit those playhouses and teach your kids a skill.

Follow your plan and just don’t let the kids eat the dirt and you will be fine. Your house probably has this “poison” as you call it around it and you let the kids play around it.

Well, I think you should have an opinion of a pest professional or an expert such as Pest Control they would give you perfect advise if the kid house is replaceable or what is the actual status. Experts also provide termite inspection facility. Better have a word with such kind of professionals.
