Dear Woodworking Gurus -
Help! I've got termites in my redwood table. They are flying in
and out of little holes they've made between the boards that
comprise the table top. Something tells me that adding another
coat of paint is not going to help.
How do I get rid of them -- and save this lovely, old table?

AH they fry a mean redfish and catfish and rarely eat 'gator. You got a
problem with Coon Asses? I don't live down there, but I've got a passal
of relatives that do. I'm assuming you're trying to be funny, right?
Hank, me.

Then this must by all means be a job for the "Men In Black" <G>
I would inject a pesticide in each of the little hole in the wood. A
syringe would be ideal. Termites are tenacious, but fragile. I bought a
bunch of Dursban from Home Depot before it was pulled from the market. I
occasionally get a flare up of termites in my house. Hard to keep away, but
easy to kill.

Anyone who sucks the guts outta crawdads should be
considered a kinda sewer, not a connoisseur, sir.
Granted, they do fry up a mean blackfish and their gators
ain't bad, hoooEEE.

Termites eat anything available but they're connoisseurs.
