    Ordered foam but no metal tips were included, only a black rubber tip on can
    Treating termites in kitchen cabinets, is there a time period I need to wait so it is safe to put drawers and dishes back in cabinets??
    A

    Termidor Foam does not come with any metal tips. It only comes with the plastic tip on the end of the tube attachment.

    Termidor Foam is not labeled to be used in kitchen cabinets per the manufacturer. It should only be used in wall voids.

    Q
    Can we use Termidor FOAM as a regular spray or we have always to make holes and use the tip?
    A

    Termidor FOAM is only used when you are directly spot treating active infestations, this would involve drilling right into the infested wood and using the tip to inject.

    Q
    How to use if I see mud piles inside home
    Piles at the top of windows near ceiling do I spray from floor up or from ceiling down
    A
    If there is no insulation in the wall then there's not many reasons for them to be in that wall void as the insulation would provide an area to nest. They may travel behind the wall voids but the main nest will not be behind it. They will most likely be using the studs as a food source and traveling up the sides of the studs. You will not foam the entire void, rather you will drill a hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel. If you are seeing them along the baseboard areas, drill holes every 8-10 inches apart across the area between studs, about an inch or 2 above the baseboard. Use the same injection rate for each hole and let dry. The Termidor Foam has some residual for about a month after it dissipates so if any are missed in the initial application the rest of the colony should be affected.

    Q
    Tips please for use of foam in an exterior lower level (walk-out) insulated wall that is insulated
    Detected active termites upon removal of baseboard; which had been damaged. Upon removal found active termites and damage to inside of baseboard and some to exterior of drywall behind it.
    A
    If you have drywood termites, you should drill holes into the galleries and inject a product like Termidor Foam to eliminate the colony. You will only be injecting the foam into the studs and around where the activity is, not filling the entire wall void.

    Q
    Drilling 2x4 wood stud to treat for termites. What size hole do I need and what product will I need
    A
    To treat wood studs, you want to drill a 3/8 to 1/2  hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel. If you are seeing them along the baseboard areas, drill holes every 8-10 inches apart across the area between studs, about an inch or 2 above the baseboard. Use the same injection rate for each hole and let dry. It has some residual for about a month after it dissipates so if any are missed in the initial application the rest of the colony should be affected. If you know where an active infestation is, you should indeed direct treat with the Termidor Foam. The foam will only last for about 6 weeks because it is not bonding with soil molecules. An outside trench will need to be performed also. Please click on the article on how to perform your own termite treatment for additional information and tips.

    Q
    How much Termidor Foam should I spray into the space between each stud? How high up the wall do I inject?
