I have a friend who has her house in France treated every 10 years - and certified. The method is to insert plastic plugs into every timber at specified distances. A pressure unit is then attached to each of these in turn and chemical injected INTO the wood. No smell, no spray and easy for the contractor. The problems is France do not just centre on termites and woodworm - there are a host of other boring insects which do substantial damage to woodwork (capricorn beetles in particular). Well worth getting a profesional job done. Indeed in certain termite areas any house being sold has to have either a current certificate or have a new survey and treatment carried out prior to sale.
