Hi Matt - thanks heaps for the reply.

Yes, sorry - termites would be a more common term, wouldn't it.

Will look into Lindane and see if I can find an alternative available here in Korea. Gotta get the little so-and-sos!!!

Others - any further advice/tips welcome.

Thanks and cheers!

Edit: A question.... Do termites attack "live" wood? I had it in my head that they only liked timber, ie "dead" wood... I was assuming this was another borer... although I'm not sure if that makes any difference to the treatment... hmmmm....
