Do you have to apply this product to the entire house or just where you see termites. How much of an area can a can do. How long will this stuff last?

Just where you see termites. Not sure how long it lasts, but I had to reapply to a tree that had an infestation a few months later. It foams up, getting the termites wet, and then leaves them to take the stuff with them to their galleries...where it begins to attack them. It is delayed in its effect.

This is for a limited application that I use for drywood termites. I drill 4 or 5 holes through the sheetrock and stud where I see the pellets coming out, and fill the channel where the termites are. If successful, an application at the top of the stud will result in Premise foam coming out at the bottom hole.

Only the specific spot where there is termite infestation. It expands into a foam filling a much larger volume then the product itself As it comes out of the can. Works like a charm.

It is intended for spot rteatments inside generally. I am not sure about exterior applications. Our house was treated by Truly Nolan and this was suggested as a followup to any small eruptions.

spray a 3ft. barrier around house and 3ft. up on house . Do not broadcast inside , spray only in corners and base board - very little inside . works great on spiders also .

I think it can be applied anytime. If used properly, it supposedly lasts 5 years. I applied it mid summer when I saw the ants and it stopped them within a day.

We have only used it on the exterior of our house and it still prevented us from getting bugs inside. One treatment lasted about 3 months.

I didn't use this for termites but I did use it in the mulch and absolutely soaked the area. I did not have any issues with the flowering plants or evergreens. All look well two months after use without any issues at all.

It can, it made for sticking in termite holes or hard to get in to areas. If the area you want to treat is the ground near a gate or building, they make different forms for that.

You need to follow instructions on the can as closely as possible. I usually do part of the house at the time and the cats and I stay in the other part. For instance I do the bedroom and we stay in the other part of the house. Then I do the other part and we stay in the bedroom or go outside for a while. My cats go outside some of the time anyway. The Vet told me the other day that I should spray and then leave the area for one hour. She said that applied to people animals and any other little creatures such as birds etc. The warnings on the can says to avoid breathing the fumes. It really does not take long for it to dry and I use it on the furniture and carpet.

I put about 1/4" dots of the paste on the floor at the base of the cabinets, behind my washer and dryer, in the bathrooms along the walls. Yes, it does still work after drying but I did re-apply it in the same manner every 6 weeks about 3 times, then every 4-6 months until I had no more problems. If I see even 1 roach, I do it all over again! Be sure to put it where pets won't get to it.

I apologize for this late reply. I spay the area that I can reach ( my car, it is everywhere but bottom) - it seems to be good enough, to still work well. I have sprayed it on a car where it was hard to reach the top/bottom - but if you have the time you could spray, then move your car forward a couple of times.? Hope this is useful. I live in Minnesota and think it is a great product! :)

Whether or not it is effective against termites, you are taking a risk by doing it yourself. If I had a termite infestation, I'd let the pros do it. I used this stuff to get some bees attacking the wood in my barn, where I could clearly see and it was no big deal if I didn't get them all. Good luck.

If the damage is very localized and the area has been treated properly I would say yes. By the time termite damage is discovered it is often too extensive for this type repair.

It would depend on how many sprays you applied and how many times a day/week that you applied it, and on how many different objects. I followed the suggestion on the product insertand applied 2 sprays, 2x/day to about 3 different areas and it lasted a very long time - maybe about a month. I think it approximates how many sprays the product is good for somewhere on the package so you can maybe estimate how long it'd last.

I put it in a large spraybottle. You will use less of the product that way. I use it to clean 1100 sqft area and it lasts 5- 6 times.

Hello, Michael,If you use this product in an area that won't get wet; i.e. near sprinklers, etc. one application can last two to three weeks. We spray this around the edges of our home and it really helps keep the ant population from visiting inside our home!

I think you'll be fine. I spray it on all kinds of surfaces around my house and never notice anything beyond a little white dust once it dries. The stuff is seriously the best bug spray I've ever used. Lasts for at least a couple months in hot Phoenix weather.

Greg, In general its not a wise choice to spray any kind of concentrate for ants. The reasons are many but the big one is that they can detect most any active. And once they detect it, they'll stay off the treated surface and avoid where its been applied. This will usually force them elsewhere and essentially complicate the situation. And since the ants you see represent less 10% of the local nest, even if you did kill all the ones you see it wouldn't solve the problem. So what do you do? Well for starters, don't spray inside the home. Instead use a bait. Something like Maxforce Ant Gel or Optigard Ant Gel. These options will readily be accepted by any foraging ant and within a few days, be brought back to their nest and once ingested, kill a bunch of the colony. At the same time you should spray the homes exterior with a "non repellent" active such as Phantom, Optigard Flex or Dominion. These actives won't be detectable by the ants and in turn, they'll readily walk over the treatment. This will allow them to "transfer" the active to other members of their colony so when the active finally does "kicks in" and goes to work, it will kill most if not the entire nest. That will usually happen in 3-4 days following the initial application. The good news is any ants surviving this will in turn know to stay away from the old ant trails for fear of something "bad" in the area so even if you don't kill them all, the non repellents will usually take care of the problem by forcing them elsewhere. Give us a call if you need more advice; its kind of hard to explain all of this via a post. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I think it would last in a house for a long period of time. I've used it camping for three weeks straight and besides have to pump it up with air again for time to time, it was good. I would not use it as a permanent solution though. You will notice the effect it has on your body over time, just like camping in the same spot you start to notice evey root and rock your tent is on. For lasting longer, don't keep it near any sort of heat sources and keep it out of the sun.
