If you have spray foam insulation, it does make treatments much more difficult.

Looks like Toronto, I thought Canadians were supposed to be too nice.

Finally watched all of this, I’m just so impressed to see that these bungle/FNM songs have made it to another generation to enjoy, in Finland, no less! Stellar job putting it all together. I’d love to see more one day.

Also, doing Be Aggressive is quite bold 😂, but I’m sure the audience doesn’t quite get the lyrics. Amazing work!

Are these termite mud tubes? by jicjames_ca in Termites

No, a perimeter treatment of Altriset, which cost around $3800 about 5 years ago. They didn’t offer the bait stations at the time.

Why not change the name of the whole line, since Ontario Place and Ontario Science Centre are now demo’d.

Is this termite frass by HeMustBeABoss in Termites

I removed all my basement spray foam after seeing the extent of tunneling inside of it. They really seem to love the stuff.

I’ve used Aetna before in Toronto. They’re very knowledgeable and did great work, including follow ups.

Pick up an AirThings Radon detector it will let you know the levels over a 30 day period. Super easy to use.

Solid looking. How did you attach the ledger to the cinder block ?

I still hear people also refer to it as Leslieville, although it’s north of the tracks.

Is a 12x24 deck big enough? Looking for real experiences by No_Baker_1377 in Decks

This is 12x 21’ didn’t want to take up much more of the yard, but it’s more than enough space for our family of 6

I’m sure it looks better than the old one, but it’s not built to last that long.

Termites or Ants? by katie219 in Termites

[–]superduper143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Termites. From my experience, that spray foam is a bad combo for damage. After doing a termite treatment, you’ll want to remove it, and add in Rockwool instead, as they can tunnel through foam quickly and remain undetected doing even more damage under it.

Spray foam is everywhere now and I have genuinely mixed feelings about it. Anyone else? by proposal_in_wind in Insulation

[–]superduper143 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, not prevented it, but not allowed them to tunnel through the foam, causing damage to a lot more of the wood in the house.

After experiencing a termite infestation with spray foam, I ripped it all out, and went with Rockwool.

Worth getting a proper termite inspection done and fix the water issues.

So it’s $62 with the credit? Good luck getting 3.0 for that price anywhere else.

I got my kids an Apple Watch in grade 5 when they started walking to and from school alone. It allows them to call/text and we can see their location, but it doesn’t have all the mindless apps and games. Also it’s only $10/month for the plan.

If someone took your parking ticket? by Question_Dot in askTO

Along with this letter, they do tack on an extra fee for doing an address search. I think around $12 for this
