ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for arresting structural termite infestation while eliminating the risk of poison exposure to occupants of the structure includes a power tool for drilling holes in wood members of a structure, implanting pellets of termite poison within the drilled holes, and sealing the holes. The tool includes a tubular body portion joined to a storage portion that stores a plurality of packages of pellets of termite poison. A platen assembly is secured to the storage portion and adapted to impinge on a wood member of a structure. The tubular body encloses a reversible drive motor connected through a gear train to rotate and translate the drill assembly reciprocally in a guideway. Cellulose balls impregnated with poison or insecticide or flagellacidal agents are grouped in loads, each load packaged and disposed in the tool parallel to the guideway, with a plug cork is disposed at the proximal end of each load. The method of the invention includes forming a hole in a wood member, placing pellets containing insect killing agents within the hole and sealing the hole so that no poison can escape. The insect killing agents remain latent and enclosed within the wood member, so that occupants of the structure are protected from any toxic contact and only insect infestation can gain access to it. The method of the invention also includes prepackaging termite killing agents as a load or charge comprising a plurality of pellets in axial alignment with a plug cork disposed at the proximal end of the charge. The method also includes dimensioning the pellets and plug cork with respect to a drilled hole so that the pellets are implantable in the drilled hole and the plug cork seals the drilled hole to retain any toxic substances for long-term protection from termite-caused damage.
