Termite spray

[YorkshireTyke]

Anyone know where I can buy termite spray that you mix with water to spray a house regularly, the type termite control companies use ?

Home Pro / Thai Watsadu etc etc

But your link is also a good one!

 

So if I may I just post it here also for the OP to choose from

Mix boric acid or borax with honey, and leave it near any signs of infestation.

Worker ants carry it back to the nest, and it kills the queen.

Good idea, but does that work with Termites as the OP is asking about Termites. And what leaving that about if you have dogs or cats around?

 

Quote

Dogs can exhibit signs of toxicity at approximately . 02 ounces of boric acid per pound of bodyweight.

According to Dr. Google, boric acid is effective in poisoning termites.

As for dogs and cats, I would have thought the sensible thing to do is to leave the baits where they can't access them.

 

Termites process wood ( carbohydrate ) into sugar, they would most likely appreciate the short cut.

Almost any insecticide does the job, available on Lazada.

The one i have is in a white bottle and cost around 500-700b I liter dilutes to 200 liter.

also kills ticks and much more.

But it's good to warn people about it.

Fipronil is the chemical used in Oz by exterminators and there you need a license to purchase it. I have bought some from lazada. Lazada has many weapons promising to kill or promise to be fipronil. The one I tried worked well.  I believe it expires too. Use fresh fipronil.

Check online for mixing ratios. It's something like 10ml to I litre water that I can recall. It's important to make the solution just right so it kills slowly . Let's the population moveabout and pass on death to rest of them buggers.

Thx for the link.

 

On the Image it says 30-50Ml per 20 Liters of Water so a lot less and the bottle contains 1  Liter

Edit: Ordered a Bottle

[YorkshireTyke]

Thanks all, some good info there. When I looked in my local Homepro they only had the spray cans for spot spraying, not the big bottles for diluting but buy online is the way to go.

 

Homepro or Lazada, may try the Fipronil but looking at Google translate it seems more for protecting vegetables ?

 

I want a harmless spray to spray in the house, around the laminate flooring edges etc

At you're own risk but I've been using the diluted fipronil stuff inside and I'm still breathing.  The termites hide in the dark so you'll have to somehow inject into their homes without disturbing them too much. Spot spraying is an option for certain problems but I had all out infestation. They came back after a few years. I keep a bait box around now that I redo every few years.

I haven't got any termites, the spray is a preventive measure. What I'm saying is the google translate doesn't mention termites, it sounds more like a pesticide?

 

Product Name : Turdus

Common Name : Fipronil 5% W/V EC

Benefits: Prevent and eliminate vegetable wireworm, cotton anchor borer, tobacco threadworm, Indra buffalo threadworm. Creeping worm, cauliflower, anchor borer weevil aphids, aphids, thrips Jumping aphid Cotton mite, red mite Crops used cotton, sugarcane, potatoes Tobacco, soybeans, onions, peppers, cruciferous vegetables, grapes, corn and other crops are insecticides and mites.

How to use : 200 cc/200 liters of water or 30-40 cc/20 liters of water.

 

Also all the ones mentioned only come in 1 litre bottles, I don't think the pesticide companies only buy 1 litre bottles, however, I have found 5 litre bottles also in Homepro online of the Chaindrite stuff.

TERMITE KILLER CHAINDRITE STEDFAST 30SC 5L (homepro.co.th)

Chaindrite 40EC is oil based, will stay on plants and top soil longer. MIx with 40 parts water. I use this around the house. I just use a watering can with a sprinkling head, dont need to  spray.

Chaindrite 30SC is odorless water based, mix with 60 parts water. My gardener pour this straight from the bottle into the pest control pipes embedded in the house foundation, and force water into the pipes after.

Strong stuff. Maybe kills humans too?
