Spectracide Terminate Termite Killing Foam, Kills Exposed Subterranean, Drywood and Dampwood Termites On Contact, for Insects, 16 fl Ounce

Why did you pick this product vs others?: My husband discovered termites in the wood in our outside workshop. He ripped a lot of the siding off to replace the exterior wood panels and sprayed this product on live areas he found to try and get rid of these things. This product goes a long way and kills on contact. It works. We do plan to treat and spray additional products to make sure we keep termites from coming back, but this spray is a quick kill option that works on contact and sort of spreads and seeps into the area fully.

I used this on a wood shed where the termites were eating the floor under a plastic container. Sprayed this on (it comes out as a foam and I was generous with application) and it worked and I did not see evidence of termites again. Used again on another portion where I found termites and see no further evidence after 7 months. I did not notice any strong smell, but I was using this outside. Update: Termites came back in the same spot, but it's been 8-9 months since the first application. I ordered a new can of this spray foam insecticide and used it again. I do believe it kills termites (these are dry wood termites), but it's not going to prevent them from eventually coming back. They came back in the same spot inside the wooden shed that previously had a plastic container sitting directly on a wood surface, but this time there was nothing on the surface of the wood that might attract them or make it hospitable for them.

Definitely killed the termites on spot but not designed to kill the colony so it may not be effective for everyone.

I was desperate for something to work before getting the professional as it was raining and I was told now it not the time as I wouldn't be able to get guarantees. But I've seen no activity where I sprayed and before this if I cleaned it off in the morning they would be back by the time I got home. It is not so easy to use as the spray is not consistent just ensure you're wearing gloves as it gets a bit messy but hey the product works.

worked as expected
