I have a garage I have drywalled an use as a art studio, I have cut away expose 2" of the wood framing up front cement floor. the building is not exposed from 3 sides, so I cannot spray the outside perimeter. I can see evidence of wood eating pests -Will this small area application even kill what I need to kill if I do it this way. Will the application inside the building be dangerous to me and my dogs.
You can only use the Bayer Advanced Carpenter Ant & Termite Killer Plus Concentrate as a small localized spot treatment where the infestation is located. An application in the infested area will kill anything that is or will come incontact with the treated area. However, there is no way to know for sure if a re-infestation will occure besides performing an in ground soil treatment with Termidor or other termiticides. As long as you keep children and pets out of the treated area (garage) until it has a chance to fully dry, it is completelt safe.
