If this is not the best, which is the best with regards to safety to occupants, especially children? Also, how often should you retreat indoors? Thanks!
We recommend using either Termidor SC or Dominion 2L for the most effective termite treatments. Both of those products are non-repellent and both have a transfer effect meaning that the termites cannot tell that the product is in place and will readily walk through it and transfer it back to the colony. The Tengard SFR will only kill the workers that contacted the treated surface and is also somewhat repellent. It also does not have a transfer effect. Typically for indoor termite infestations, you need to drill a hole directly into the infested piece of wood and inject the product however you can. You should drill into the exact center of the wood. We do sell a foam product already in a can for termites that is very popular. It is called Termidor Foam and comes ready to go with an applicator tip. It can take up to 90 days to completely eliminate an infestation. Most people just wait and do inspections every so often and only treat when they have an issue
