When Navigator SC Termiticide/Insecticide is applied via a trench, it bonds with the soil leaving a 10 year residual. When termites come across treated soil they will take the residual back with them & spread it on to others. If you simply pour it on the ground, it will not soak into the soil. It cannot be used to treat nests out in the yard.
We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment just like the Pros.Yes, Navigator SC will be effective on carpenter ants. You can only spray 12 inches out from the foundation along the edge, you would not apply all over a deck.
