I have subterranean termites infesting my hardwood floor tiles (over a slab foundation). Last week I applied Taurus SC via trenching the exterior permimeter of the house (as well as drilling the carport and porches near the walls). I have pulled up the ruined wood tiles in several areas inside the house. Is it safe to drill through the slab indoors and inject Taurus SC below the slab in these areas? I would plug the holes immediately. Also (as I happen have some replacement floor tiles handy) can I spray the UNDERSIDE of some of the replacement tiles (outside) and (after they have thoroughly dried) place these tiles back in the house (Taurus SC side DOWN) on the slab? I am hoping this might help get a head start on wiping out the termites that are active in the floor now. I do not want to jeopardize the health of my self or pets, however. Please advise. Thanks.
Yes, you can inject Taurus SC under the slab that is part of the house area. This would be considered part of your termite treatment since they were found active in this area. You would NOT be permitted to apply the Taurus SC to the new wood that is being installed. The best product for this application would be Boracare which is a wood preservative that can be applied to any raw wood and lasts for the life of the wood.
