BioAdvanced Termite Killer, Granules 9 LB

This BioAdvanced Termite Killer (9 lb Granules) is a high-capacity perimeter treatment designed to eliminate subterranean termites and other listed pests around the home. It is widely favored for its "one-and-done" application style that doesn't require complex mixing or professional equipment

Spread the granules as directed and saw results the very next day great product

had a bad case of termites in a shed. Spread around per instructions. Made repairs to the shed several months later. No activity. Easy to use, did the job. not sure how long it actually took to eliminate the colony, but am using it as a protection now.

Good product and it does work . I just used as preventive measure.

Right on spot. Didn’t expect such a bulk amount

Every homeowner should make this product a crucial part of their THREE-STEP DEFENSE AGAINST TERMITES. First Step - once every five years trench the perimeter of your footings, using a mixture of 12% Fipronil and water. Second Step - Once a year, sprinkle this product's granules along the perimeter of your home's footings. Third Step - get a bunch of Spectracide Termite Bait Stations - enough to install them every 9-10 feet along the perimeter of your home's footings. Between these three steps, no Termite terrorists shall overcome your home's triple-layer defenses. DEATH TO TERMITES!

After receiving BioAdvanced Termite Killer I began to do some research on the active ingredient which is 0.05% BETA-CYFLUTHRIN GRANULAR INSECTICIDE. Documents say "this product will kill workers and winged reproductive forms of termites that enter into the treated areas. Use of this type of product to kill termites should not be considered a substitute for soil treatment of subterranean termites done by a professional pest control operator." The application for treating termites is 1/3 to 1/2 cup per 45 to 50 ft (2 to 3 ft band) (2 to 3 lbs per 1000 sq ft). Thats a lot of product for a short term 30-90 day protection. I think this product is very effective as a foundation barrier for spider, roaches, ants etc. but it's misleading to believe this product will provide adequate termite protection for your home. It might be a plus but should not be sold and marketed as termite killer, that is something most homeowners should leave to the professionals. We have found there are other general insect killing products which are safer and cheaper because they have a longer benefit and eliminate similar insects for a fraction of the cost. So if you are purchasing this to eliminate other insects, and the termite benefit is a plus, you are paying a lot for that piece of mindset. This 9 lbs container was not easy to administer over a hedge, it's heavy! The spout looks like a great design but it is easy to accidentally pour more than you need, but mostly its hard to shake out enough! The brown granular's are small and blend easily into existing mulch. The price for this 9 lb jug is high and I do not think I will purchase again. I am not sold on the termite protection and there are professional termite products that are more effective and last an extended period of time. They might come with a higher cost but they usually offer a guarantee, and termite damage can be expensive to repair. It's misleading to think termite protection is a do it yourself application and for that reason I gave it 3 stars.
