I put in a raised garden bed this spring and ordered compost to fill it with. Now it is July and the compost is full of termites, workers and solders. will cy kick work on this and do I just apply it on top of the soil? They appear to only be in the raised bed.
Yes, Cy-Kick CS would kill exposed termites only as long as there are no edible plants in the garden such as vegetables. If there are edible plants in the area, then you could just pour boiling water on the insects. If there is raw wood around the edge of the bed, then you could treat the wood with Boracare or Timbor and then add a water-sealant to protect the wood from termites.
