We have just found new termite activity in the wood of our well house, and are concerned about contaminating our drinking water, if we use any insecticides.
Trelona Termite Bait Cartridges which are used inside the Advance Termite Bait Stations are allowed on properties with wells or cisterns. We do not recommend using insecticides within 5 feet of the well itself. You could use bait stations around the exterior of the well house and also treat any existing or replaced wood using a wood treatment product like Boracare. Keep in mind that termite bait stations may not kill termites that are already in the wood of the structure.
