You do have a termite problem down under, John: http://www.termite.com/termites.html

Interesting that many years ago (15 or more) the fumigation method of spraying deadly gasses was stopped...and what remains is treatment options less harmful to humans (what I have been trying to impress upon my thick-headed, arrogant landlord  )

In Australia (and elsewhere), dangerous poisonous gases like methyl bromide or sulfuryl fluoride (Vikane) are not used...and for good reason, they kill indiscriminately.
