Asked by Chwang from Lincoln,ne09/15/2011QIs 3oz/gal Phantom dilution also effective against termites if sprayed?
Your instruction calls for a 1.5oz/gal Phantom dilution for termite treatment, 3oz/gal dilution for general pest control as a spray.AYou do not want to use 3 oz per gallon for termites, because that will kill them too quickly. Phantom is a non-repellent and if applied too strongly, the termites will not be able to carry the product back to the colony. Termites should always be treated at 1.5 oz. per gallon of water.
