What is the best termite chemical available now for termite treatments?

STRUCKY SAYS

There is not much difference between the effectiveness of the various termite chemicals on the market, when they are used as directed on the label. The most common reason that a chemical / barrier treatment fails is when the application results in an incomplete insecticide barrier around the structure.

Incomplete application according to the label could be:

• The termiticide is diluted with too much water,
• The insecticide is not injected all the way to the footings of the basement
• The volume of insecticide was insufficient according to label.

Treatment procedures are found clearly on the insecticide label and should be followed carefully to ensure proper coverage for termites.
