2 1642 Fairorchard Avenue San Jose /01/ of 7 This is a separated report which is defined as Section 1 / Section 2 conditions evident on the date of inspection. Section 1 contains items where there is evidence of active infestation, infection or conditions that have resulted in or from infestation or infection. Section 2 items are conditions deemed likely to lead to infestation or infection, but where no visible evidence of such was found. Further inspection items are defined as recommendations to inspect areas(s) which during the original inspection did not allow the inspector access to complete the inspection and cannot be defined as Section 1 or Section 2. SECTION I: (2) DRYWOOD TERMITES 2A. FINDING: Evidence of infestation by drywood termites was found in the sheds. RECOMMENDATION: Drill and treat the infested framing with Termidor (Fipronil), Premise (Imidacloprid) and/or Cy-Kick (Cyfluthrin). Treat exposed framing in the infested areas with Tim-Bor/Termite Prufe (Disodium Octoborate Tetrahydrate). Remove or mask over all accessible termite pellets. Section 1 Item. Local treatment is not intended to be an entire structure treatment method. If infestations of wood-destroying pests extend or exist beyond the areas of local treatment, they may not be exterminated.
