I have to decide whether to use Vikane or Methyl Bromide for fumigation.
My house is two stories, built in 1926, in Hollywood, CA. The termites here are the flying drywood kind. What are the pros and cons?
Thanks —

chloradane
*Chlordane is for subterranean termites and was banned in 1988 although it was the most effective treatment. Methyl bromide for fumigations is being phased out in favor of Vikane
*joshephchlorodane is not available for sale but all us good rednecks stocked up in mass quantities when it was outlawed just like we did on R-12 freon......the govt. can pass laws but cant prevent us from having a product......all the new stuff is water with smell in it.....i let extermnators spray that new stuff on houses i build but on my personal work i use chloradane.....
