Termidor Foam, just like the liquid Termidor SC, is a non repellent formulation. This means that when spot treating in voids where you believe there is activity, the termites will not detect the product and it will not cause them to move. If you are doing a soil treatment as well this will take care of the colony as well and will transfer to the ones within the home.
You can use Termidor FOAM in the wood post. You would need to drill directly into the galllery where the drywood termites are infesting and foam into it as directed on the product label.
Termidor FOAM will expand at a ratio of about 30:1, so each 20 ounce can will create about 20 quarts of foam, covering approximately 1,155 cubic inches.
