Please Read: This site contains information about using pesticides. Pesticides can be dangerous if used improperly or carelessly. Always follow label instructions. The pesticide product label is the final word on the safe and legal use of pesticides. Questions about pesticide toxicity can be explored at the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC). Control suggestions are intended for users in the state of Oregon, USA. Others should consult with local experts before relying solely on this information.

Termites infest and consume wood. Because they rarely leave the nest they are more difficult to detect than other structural pests. Termites tend to be more important as pests in warmer, more semi-tropical or tropical regions
