Premise Pre-Construction is used for the prevention of termites around the perimeter of your home. This product binds with the soil. We would recommend treating the wood directly with something like Boracare or Timbor. These products should only be used on raw wood only. Be sure to use a sealant or paint on the wood after application. This will last for the life of the wood once this has been done.
If used correctly and soil is left undisturbed to not interrupt the barrier, Premise will protect the home for at least 7 years.
Premise Pre-Construction Insecticide is pet safe if used as directed. Pets should be kept out of the area during application but can return once everything is fully dry.
Yes Premise Pre-Construction Insecticide can be used post construction for retreats, but only in certain instances. Please read the full instruction label for complete information.
Premise Pre Construction Insecticide is not a product we would recommend to use for ants or general insect control. That being said the Premise Product Label goes over extensively and in great detail how to use this product for ants in multiple paragraphs should you wish to use it for that purpose. If you use the Ctrl + F search function when opening document/label and type in "ants" as the key term, you can see all of the areas of the label that it refers to use instructions. That being said, this product is very rarely used for that purpose. If you want a product that would be recommended instead for ant control both indoors and out, Temprid FX would be an ideal choice.
