It's a classic. Just watch it.

Termites in Maple Tree

Posted by ItzMe1972 on 4/28/25 at 11:22 pm
I noticed termite tunnels on a maple in my backyard. They go up to a hole in the side of the tree where a large limb was removed long ago. The tree holds water that the squirrels drink out of. Tree seems healthy and newly infested.

I am wondering how best to treat the tree. Any suggestions?
Anyone have any experience with CertainTeed?

TIA

Replace that bottom piece and caulk it up.

If necessary use a little vinyl filler or bondo.

Great airplane, the one that would get you home.

My dad was rescued by a "Dumbo" flight on Christmas Day 1944. He was shot down in the Pacific.

A friend of mine has compiled extensive information on these aircraft.

The coon pee....

The way it was explained or sold to me was that the mother smells the male pee and thinks he will kill her babies, so she vacates and takes them with her.

That stuff is smelly. I put it on tennis balls and threw them around in the attic. I also put a radio up there and played music.

This was a rent house, when the tenant told me it had been quiet for two days, I closed up the two vents it had removed.

The big capacitor is a "dual capacitor." One side is for the fan and the other for the compressor.

The fan on the unit was likely replaced and came with the 10Mf cap. So they abandoned the 5MF side of the dual.

Not sure which one he said was weak, but likely the larger one.

Edit: Are you having problems? Why was the tech out?
Fill valve assembly is about $15 and YouTube has DIY instructions.

How much room do you have?

Shumard Oaks may be an option.
They’ll be looking for a bailout before it’s over. Just like California.
I have a pest in my soffit, it chewed through the vent. Big hole, like chewed the entire vent off.

I had a mother racoon pull off two soffit vents and move into the attic at a rental.

I used racoon urine to get her to leave. It smells really strong and is male urine. Mom coon left with her babies. Then I nailed up the vents.
