Tenting kills the bugs that are alive at the time of tenting. It is marginally effective on the many eggs that are left behind. So it is bot the panacea some call it.
On a
boat, with
interior termites, the solution MUST include eliminating all sources of freshwater. If it is a cap rail, logically, repeated application of a termiticide and making sure
deck scuppers are removing rain
water would accomplish the same goal.
The aforementioned is not conjecture. It is based on experience dealing with the little buggers in hones and
boats in FLA.
