I just found some termite damage in a post. The post is part of a structure that I'm converting from the world's ugliest shed to an attractive combination composting/potting-shed - raised bed - and - arbor (hopefully grape arbor if I can reinforce enough).
I would prefer not to replace the post, if possible. It's still very sturdy and sunk deep. In addition, it is supported right now at the top, top side and bottom side, and will be getting even more support as I construct the raised bed and finish the (hopeful) arbor.
I have termite stuff here. But this is my first sign of actually having termites. Can I use the termite stuff on this post and save it? Or do I need to just give it up and replace it?
And yes, this is definitely termite damage: boring, tunnels, etc., and all.
