Does it kill termites?
Permethrin SFR cannot be added to house paint to other coatings or materials. Permethrin will kill termites on contact, but it is not recommend for treating or preventing termite infestations. Please see our Termite Treatment Guide for the best recommendations for this pest. If you would like to treat wood to help prevent termite infestations, the best product is Boracare. You can apply paint, stain, or sealant after a Boracare applicaiton is dry.
