Hi Guys,
I picked up this tree stump to use as a lamp table, and its got this hole in the centre.. Does this look like it may have termites or white ants in it?  Would it be safe to use indoors if spray something like this on it? http://www.bunnings.com.au/david-gra...pray-_p3015755 Thanks,

Should be fine, turn it over and let it drop on concrete hole down and see what falls out.
Looks like if it did have any white ants they are long gone.

Just looked at that pic again - looks like an optical illusion.
I thought the 'hole' was not right through and the light brown circle in the middle was the end of a bit that remained, now I see (I think) that the hole goes right through and the brown bit is the ground below.

That doesn't look like it's had any termite activity.
If you want to be sure though, just use normal household insect killer. Any termites still hiding (unlikely) will be killed.

It's what's called a pipe .. The centre wood is not as mature as the outer.. It will be fine..
