Can this be used on live oak trees? I know this question has been asked before. I would disagree that they don't attack live trees. Sure they start on dead limps but they keep on going after the live trees after. The trees are definitely alive though.
Termidor SC should only be applied as directed on the label. It does have instructions as a direct spot treat the active nest in the tree by drilling into it and injecting with foam or dilution. Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees so identifying any issues within the tree that attracted the termites in the first place would be recommended as well. A local arborist or horticulturalist at your local cooperative extension office may be able to assist with this or a local pest control company. Please let us know if you need anything else.
