Drywood termites over a concrete slab,patio

How do i treat drywood termites when the affected area is in the patio area and there is concrete floor,i saw the how to video on subterranean termite where you dig a trench on dirt could you please let me know what is the best way to treat it on concrete thank you.

Answer:

Drywood termites are usually very localized and can be treated by removing the infested wood and replacing it. If you choose to keep the wood you will need to treat it with a product such as Boracare. The wood must be unpainted, unstained or untreated. If the wood has been painted, stained or treated in any way you will need to sand it down to apply a product such as Boracare. Boracare will penetrate into the wood to kill existing termites. After 72 hours the wood should be sealed to sela in the boaracare. Boracare will then last the life of the wood.
