We recently tented the home after termites were found on the enclosed porch FLAT roof. (Vicane gas) I still find residual pellets on my white furniture coming through the wood ceiling. How do I make sure I don't have a re infestation and would spraying the roof vents with Termidor work? I could foam through the small holes inside the room?
If you have Subterreanean Termites, you may treat the active colony directly with a termiticide foam such as Fuse Foam that is a combination of the best active ingredients for termite control (Fipronil & Imidacloprid). In addition to spot treating inside the wall void where the active colony is, we recommend doing a perimeter trench treatment with Taurus SC around the exterior of the home. Taurus SC is the generic form of Termidor SC and available in 20oz & 78oz bottles. You can view our How to Treat for Subterreanean Termite tutorial video here. Though fumigation kills all termites inside the house, the droppings will still be inside the termite galleries or tunnels inside the wood. Through constant movement of the house, for example, doors closing hard, natural movements, and the gravitational pull, you will still see termite droppings occasionally so this may be the case and not a reinfestation.
