Anyone having problems with termites eating the vinly and PVC? Any remadies for the home owners?
I see about 10 pools a year with termite holes.

I see quite a few chewing on wall foam, liners and also on SpaFlex pipe. These little buggers seem to find something enjoyable in soft plastics.

not to nit pick but youre proabably dealing with ants. not termites. point is to treat with chemicals, ants poisons are less toxic therefore more attainable; therefore cheaper. if it has 3 bodysegments,, it is an ant. if it hs two body segment(no waist) it is a termite

I would have to believe an entomologist that was brought in on one of the problem sites. Pretty weird but they go after all these chemical based goods! :o
