sidegate Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Regarding termites, many Heights-area houses were treated with chlordane (same chemical family as DDT) in the 60s through the 80s. Chlordane can prevent termites for up to 50 years. So, if you have evidence of old termite infestation, chances are the place was "chlordaned", and you won't have to worry about (ground) termites for a long time. The greenies will claim chlordane was banned because of negative effects to the environment, but the real reason was that Dow and BASF secretly lobbied to get it banned so they could sell stuff with a much shorter effective life.It's an environmental estrogen, like Bisphenol A. Not good stuff to have around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
