How long will Termidor DRY last inside walls?
Hi, I have dry wood termites in the walls. I have used some termidor foam in some spaces but now I think the powder will last longer in side the walls, will it?

Termidor DRY residual is 6 weeks. You can reapply if you need to 30 days after application.
Will injecting non-repellant inside of termite infested wood then spraying the outside with repellant work?
Over the past few days, I've had subterranean termite alates swarming "inside" of my home for about an hour each day and it's really freaking my wife out. The termites appear to have come in through a crack in our slab and have infested the 2x4's under a section of raised wooden flooring. I'm thinking about treating the inside of the infested timbers with some kind of non-repellant dust or liquid (to try and take out the colony the slow way), then spraying around the perimeter of the raised floor (where the alates have been emerging into my house from) with a repellant termiticide (e.g., bora-care) to keep them from coming up into the house and freaking out my wife. Does that sound like a good plan of action?? Then again, maybe I should try injecting some Jecta or liquid Bora-Care into the wood instead? Or maybe I should try drilling some holes in the plywood between the studs of the raised floor and squirting in a bunch of Bora-Care foam to fill up the empty cavities between the studs? Just trying to figure out the best way to take out the colony in the longer term, whilst still preventing the alates from ruining my wife's day in the short term. I think my wife would be fine if the alates would just stay under the floor unseen, as opposed to coming up into the house from the edges of the raised floor section. Any thoughts you might have on how to deal with this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!

We would not recommend to apply a repellant in the areas you are using non repellents. The idea is that you want the termites to come out and come in contact with the treated area. Please call us at 866-581-7378 so that we can better assist you with this termite treatment.
Can I use Centrobulb Duster for applying Termidor dry ?
A
Termidor DRY can only be appled with the Termidor Dry applicator. This applicator is specifically made for Termidor Dry. Three compressions of the applicator bulb is all that is needed for an individual dose and dispenses 0.1-gram of Termidor DRY.
How long is the shelf-life of opened but unused Termidor DRY?
if all 5 grams of the termidor dry is not used in a single application, how long can i expect the unused portion to be good and effective for? does it go stale once opened and not applied?

The shelf life of Termidor Dry if stored in a cool, dry area is up to 3 years. It does not go stale if stored properly.
