Gosh, I would hate to find a WDO in my mud tube.

I don't like finding mud tubes.  But as a new home owner it is important to learn how to prevent them.  Good to bring these things up as we educate our clients.

You are providing a great service to your clients.

I guess that shows the lack of pride in these homebuilders.

Them termites sure can be a pain in the but. I had a home back in Kentucky which had alot of damaage because of them.

Michael, we don't have a lot of CMU here---unless it is a mobile.  In "Termite-Country" they must love it.  I could see where hollow blocks could almost be considered a "conducive" condition:)

Termites can be a bad thing.  We get them like crazy here due to the climate. Luckily they are the smaller ones that don't do much damage.  all houses either have termites, were treated for termites last week or will have termites next week.

Scary stuff. In your area do you get any freezing temps in the winter months?

I hate those tubes.
