TERRO T1901-6 Ready to Use Indoor and Outdoor Carpenter Ant, Termite, and Carpenter Bee Killer Aerosole Spray - 16 Ounces

This brand works extremely well against carpenter ants and termites.Used it on an area where there was termite activity and it killed of the nest.I highly recommend. Good price.

This spray is a powerhouse. I used it over a year ago and it completely wiped out a termite problem, eggs and all. It’s just as effective on ants: once sprayed, they gather in the treated area, and the formula spreads from ant to ant until they’re all gone. Be ready to sweep up the aftermath! Works indoors and outdoors, and it’s still my go-to for serious infestations. It lasts a long time and starts to work immediately. It's been well over a year, and they have not come back.

Used this for termites; works but not instantly, takes a few minutes

The key to this product is spraying directly where the termites are tunneling. You may need to chip out wood. Spraying on the outside where they don't travel is 100% useless. I had the beginning of a termite invasion in my basement. I used this product as a stop gap measure while waiting for the pros who do what the pros do. Termites can cause 10s of thousands of dollars in damage and can potentially destroy wooded structures. This product does not replace a professional inspection and pest control. Having said this, after I used the product, I did not see any evidence of additional termite activity. It was also the very beginning of an infestation and they did not make it more than a couple feet into the house before I found them.

got the job done

I paid hundreds of dollars to "professional" exterminators to get rid of flying ants that live in the walls and come out every several months to swarm. No success. I made tiny holes in the wall (1/8 inch drill). (Once you forget where you drilled them, you really do not see them any more) I shot this stuff into the wall. Plenty of it, because hey, it's not in the air, it's not on surfaces, you don't see it and you don't smell it. And truth be told, I was pretty pissed at the ants. It knocked the shit out of them. It's been about 10 weeks. I have not seen one. I used this same stuff a couple of years ago for the same problem, and it was two years before they got back into the house. And now they are gone again. This product is a real solution to a real problem. I am not an expert, but I think they were carpenter ants. Which i guess are not good for the house, along with being gross and massively annoying.

This stuff is really toxic according to the instructions. Use it as a last resort. I found it takes 3 or 4 days to kill wood borrers. A bit frustating when you have 20 or 30 drilling holes in your house. Also, application is difficult. You have to put the tube in the hole the bee made and give it a shot. The can needs to be held upright wich requires the tube to be bent up into the bee hole. This requires two hands with no more hands left to hang onto a ladder. Also, you need face protection because the foam can and does blow back in your face. Surface spraying does not seem to work as well or at all. With all that said, the stuff DOES work. It goes a long way if you are just giving a little shot in each hole. I would give it five stars if it were easier to apply and worked faster.

We had carpenter ants, in our fifth wheel. They were inside the wall where we had some water damage. The walls of their nest was in had not been damaged that they were taking their meal over into another wall for storage. The only way of killing them off would've been to tear out that all is well. We tried bombing with bug bombs, it did killl some of them. Did not kill the Queen for many of the workers that were left. I would say the bombs killed maybe half. And we used to heavily concentrated bombs in the fifth wheel. I sprayed I vacuumed I tried everything. People say spray with bleach and ammonia all these other things they say and try didn't work.. We did over time and they still kept coming back. ( no we did not use any of these chemicals together as they are poisonous). So I looked online and saw high reviews that seem to make it appear that this product worked. I found that I drilled two holes at the bottom of the wall in the middle of the wall, at the top. Each one about 10 inches apart all the way down the wall. The holes for the size of the spray nozzle so I could stick it in the hole and spray it. A day later, I came back into the fifth wheel to see what had occurred and there were mountains of ants all over my carpet in my fifth wheel. They all escaped and died from the spray that I put inside the wall. Interestingly there was no chemical smell of any kind and I could not even tell where I had drill the holes. Patching the holes I'm going to use wallpaper and redo the wall anyway so that way you cover holes. This worked with about using a half a can of spray within a 3' x 4' section. I also sprayed the inside walls of the neighboring closet, as well as the external storage boxes that were nearby the area. It's also important that you use save spray around your RV landing gear tires to make sure that any and all pests from getting back in. Side note I had an extra can left, and needed to get rid of some hornets decided to take up room at the back of my house. This took care of them very quickly I was surprised how well it worked. This reminds me of the pest control be used to have available to as 20 years ago, you would spray something and it would work. This stuff works wonders. I used it for carpenter ants which are very hard to kill so anything else it should work on, that is less durable. I highly recommend this.

Totally 'user friendly' while absolutely not so for the victims. A termite infestation was outside my experience and so took a bit of research to properly identify.

Amazing House infested with termites and some ants which I suppose Pharaoh Ants, One week later after applying Terro all is gone
