I'm not digging on you personally, but you can't seriously pretend that it's a huge deal for someone to protect his house from termites with a poison that doesn't have any known effects on mammals vs. the million+ pounds of air pollution released just since Harvey by the 30? Major petrochemical plants in/around Houston?

Texas shut off their pollution monitoring equipment to "prevent damage" to the equipment- never mind the fact that there are people breathing the stuff that's being released & now there's no way to even know the true amount that's been released.

Nope. Because I am putting french drain pipe near the foundation as well.

Hah! After all the news coming out from Texas about their state legislators turning a blind eye to all the chemical plants not under scrutiny, I was waiting for someone to blow this back in his/her face. Anyone remember Waco, and the town that used to be there.
