Product Q&A

Answer:

Pyrethrum TR Total Release Insecticide is not labeled for termites and fogging for termites is not a successful treatment as foggers are not going to penetrate through walls or into wood to treat active termite colonies. PT Tri-Die Pressurized Dust Insecticide does list termites on the product label however this would not be a substitute for a soil barrier treatment or foundation treatment if treating Subterranean Termites or as a Borate wood treatment for Drywood Termites. 
 
Per the product label: Apply as a spot treatment for localized infestation. Probe to locate galleries, drill holes and inject the PT Tri-Die Pressurized Dust Insecticide into the holes at the rate of 5 to 10 sec/hole into the active galleries and void areas. The purpose of such treatment is to kill workers or winged forms which may be present in the treated galleries at the time of treatment, and to impart a temporary resistance to attack, which may aid to prevent immediate reinfestation.
