Before we get started, let’s look at some of the things you should know before you start shopping for termite killers.
Application: This refers to how the killer is applied. Some termite killers are a lot like regular bug spray, while others are foam that expands into termite nests and crevices. There are even stakes you put around the perimeter!
Concentrate: Mostly for liquid forms of poison, this means that you will have to mix it to be able to spray it. Usually, there is a formula that tells you how much product to mix with water.
Control Time: How long will the product protect you? You may have to reapply as often as every 60 days, or sometimes not at all! It really depends on how the poison is delivered, and the individual formulas.
Pet Safe: Is it safe for your pets to be in the same area? Some poisons will have adverse effects on your pets, so you need to make sure if you have animals that the product isn’t going to harm them.
Package Size: How much product do you get? The size of the packaging determines how much you’re going to get and, usually, how much house it will cover and protect. Smaller packages are usually concentrated and will be mixed with water.
Use Area: Some termite killers can be used indoors, though most are used outside-use only. Some can be used for both, so keep an eye on where you can use the product, or it will not be as effective.
