    Q
    How to find the nest above the baseboard?
    Found dry wood droppings along the bottom of the baseboard a length of approx 12 ft. Have no idea how to find a nest to apply premise foam. Thanks.
    A

    Termites may travel behind the wall voids but the main nest will not be behind it. They will most likely be using the studs as a food source and traveling up the sides of the studs. You will not foam the entire void, rather you will drill a hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel. If you are seeing them along the baseboard areas, drill holes every 8-10 inches apart across the area between studs, about an inch or 2 above the baseboard. Use the same injection rate for each hole and let dry. The foam has some residual for about a month after it dissipates so if any are missed in the initial application the rest of the colony should be affected.
    Please review our article Termite Inspection Guide.

    Q
    While the foam work for carpenter ants? What is the method?
    A

    Per the Premise Foam label: Localized treatment for ant infestations: To control or suppress ants in houses and other structures, inject a sufficient volume of PREMISE Foam by crack and crevice or wall void application. Make injections into voids where ants or their nests are present, or other places where these pests enter the structure, or where they may have been seen or found. Apply the volume of foam sufficient to cover the area, but do not allow excessive dripping or run-off to occur. When ant nest site(s) are located in tree hollows or non-structural wooden constructions (e.g., posts, fences, decks), treat the interior cavity containing the nest site by injecting a volume of PREMISE Foam sufficient to cover the area.

    Q
    Do you have a treatment for termites on a boat?
    A

    The most popular product that we have for treating termites in boats or other areas that are not easy to reach is Premise Foam.  You have to drill a hole into the damaged piece of wood and treat it directly.  The Premise Foam is considered better for termites because the foam will expand which gets you better coverage area inside the wood.  Also, Premise foam is a non-repellent product meaning the termites can pass it around to other termites
