I would think that on a boat it would be pretty easy to spray down every thing yourself as long as you are carefull. Try going on line to Epest supply. They sell all kinds of things for termites, including the Boric Acid treatment which would be a little safer than chemicals.

There was a thread on this before and no one ever mentioned a $1200 tent/bomb solution. I think thats overkill by a lot. Walter

Use the borate solution, like Timbor. Nontoxic to humans, mixes up with water and is sprayed on with a garden sprayer. Apparently it kills off some bacteria in their digestive systems and they die of starvation.
