BEI sells a termite spray that can spot treat small areas, which is what I would do for a while until the termite dust piles get bigger. It is a gamble, but tenting is quite expensive & only kills what is in the house on the day it is tented.
I just got my house tented by Bowman, $1500. Very professional & on time. Standard 2 year guarantee for retreat. I put off the tenting for about a year w/ no major damage - meaning I didn't have to repair or replace anything. Get several estimates & references. Friends have had Akamai & Terminix & were dissatisfied, e.g. damage & Akamai not getting all the infestation. My house has 3 skylights that are in an old delicate condition & Bowman really was careful. Before tenting, all companies have you sign a waiver about damage.
