Phantom termiticide insecticide to get rid of termites inside and outside house


How Phantom termiticide does works to kill termites?By two ways:
First: When the insect ingest the termiticide the active ingredients poisoning the insect and start to cut off the guts of the insect, causing an effective extermination to all adult termites,
Second: When the Insecticide contacted with the surface of the termite, the active poison in the phantom termiticide will cause rupture of the skin-like surface of the insect, thus will make imbalance to insect and lead to death.

Why phantom termiticide has a killer effect?Phantom termiticide is non-repellent, what does this means?, simply, Active substance involved in the chemical composition of the Phantom has no repellent effect on the insect, and therefore it makes the insect nearing the venom and even eat it then it cause the paralysis to insect and extermination.

What is the benefit? Is it not better to expel the insect away?
The expulsion of the insect away from your home will not guarantee that you will return again to subvert the House.
The final solution is to kill the insect permanently.
And this is what Phantom is doing, where it is dragging the insect to poison without fending it off, then killing is happening as I explained by two ways.
Here is a list of beneficial issues to use anti-termites sprayers.

What is Pests is the target of Phantom killer spray?
Phantom insecticide is very powerful to kill broad spectrum of ants such as acrobat ants, Argentine Ants, Carpenter Ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, Pharaohs ants, pyramid ants, and other species. As well as inhibition of other invading insects, for instance, the American, Asian, brown banded, German, Oriental, smoky brown, and other cockroach species. 

How much Phantom Insecticide do I mix per gallon for roach control? Spray is very easy to use simply one 21 oz bottle makes 28 gallons of 1.25 solutions for termites or 7 gallons of general use spray for cockroaches and ants.
The usual termite treatment require 1.5 oz of phantom liquid per gallons of water.

Where to spray the phantom spray to be most effective?Any possible or hidden place or hole the insects can use to build nest and increase their population such as beneath cabinets, spaces between equipment or expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, lockers, water pipes, cabinets, and to outside entry points (doors, windows, eaves, etc.) or other areas where termite insect may hide.

How long the effect of phantom termiticide spray will last?Technically the phantom well spraying process will provide a protection from termites up to four weeks, then it is recommended to respray again to emphasize the antitermite barrier around your house and your garden.

Why customers prefer Phantom termiticide?Phantom is in liquid form thus it used as spray simply.
Phantom is very selective: Only small shots applied to specific area is enough to keep your home protective from termite invasions as well as keep the chemical level at the minimum in your house.

Phantom is the only non-repellent liquid, non-IGR labeled for food-handling areas, and for use with both baits and IGRs, which means it won't get in the way of the GPC products you're already using

NB: Beware when spray phantom insecticide near your food or places where children usually use, as well as the dog house, green plants, and near in use instruments such as TV remote control or TV itself.
What is most used termiticide spray? 

The smell of phantom spray after use is not bad:The smell is very important health issue as the bad odor can cause irritation and inflammation to the respiratory system.

What is the active chemical in Phantom pesticide?Phantom Termiticide Insecticide Active Ingredients are Chlorfenapyr in concentration about 21.45%.

What is better for termites: Phantom or Termidor?Phantom is much expensive but is the kost specific in treating the termites, however the phantom is likely to use in small holes while the termidor is better for ground and surfaces than Phantom.

Where to buy Phantom termiticide insecticide?Termiticide home depot store,
Termiticide lowes stores,
Phantom Termiticide Amazon stores.

Disadvantages of Phantom termiticide insecticide product:Phantom is a pesticide poisoning as most chemicals:
Thus means the phantom pesticide is not completely safe, please read the health warnings on the label and MSDS.

The use is limited to those who are more informed:
It means that you must read the phantom termiticide insecticide MSDS and Product label as well as the specific application and dilution method before you can use it by yourself.

Read The Phantom MSDS here.
Read NEW LABEL FOR PHANTOM® TERMITICIDE-INSECTICIDE:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) approved a label amendment for Phantom® termiticide-insecticide in October. Previously approved for use on termites, ants, and cockroaches, the new Phantom label extends the product's use to control additional nuisance pests, stored product pests and occasional invaders that infest structures, including bedbugs. The label amendment also allows Phantom to be applied as a pre-construction termite treatment during all phases of construction up to and including installation of the final grade treatment.
The amended Phantom label now allows application to control beetles, including Asian Lady, Confused Flour, Darkling Larva (yellow mealworm) and Saw-tooth grain; bark scorpions; bed bugs; boxelder bugs; centipedes; European earwigs; house crickets; house flies; paper wasps; pillbugs; spiders including Black Widow and Cellar; and silverfish when used as a spot or crack-and-crevice treatment.
These pests are added to the General Pest control section of the Phantom label, which already lists control of ant species including Acrobat, Argentine, Carpenter, Odorous House, Pavement, Pharaoh and Pyramid, and cockroach species including American, Asian, Brown-banded, German, Oriental and Smokeybrown. The current label also features usage of Phantom for interior general pest control in non-food/feed and food/feed handling areas of structures, and limited exterior application where pests enter around doors, windows, eaves, attic vents, and holes in exterior walls where utilities enter.

10 most effective termite spray for wood


A lot of home remedies will be enough to run away all termites but not with residual effect, many termite products out there provide an effective kill with residual effect may be up to years, and the special thing that you can do it your self without the need to pay for professionals or insect control companies which can cost you over $1000, which is a big wealth by the way.

Termites of wood are those white ants which eating the woody materials such as door, window, roof, galleries, collectables, and other woody things. After eating the woods, termites leave small or large holes and falling of the powder-like wood to looks like piles of termite’s faeces. Thus will cause damage to wood and financial loss, rather than you will pay for fixing the eaten wood or replacing it.

The best termite killers in the markets today are:
  1. BORACARE guarantee the best protection and control of Termites, Carpenter Ants, Powderpost Beetles and Wood Decay Fungi.
  2. Cyper TC (Demon TC) Termiticide acts as a repellant termiticide as any Cypermethrin based product which help to control subterranean termite infestations. it is 5 Year Residual.
  3. Phantom Termiticide Insecticide is a Powerful insecticide for ants as well as cockroaches by ingestion and contact. Phantom has met New York's stringent environmental requirements and gained state registration.
  4. Tengard SFR One-Shot Liquid Termiticide/Insecticide acts as a Broad-spectrum insecticide provides very good control of subterranean termites before construction applications as well as after that.
  5. Termidor SC is the most effective and wide recommended termite spray.
  6. Timbor is an early preservative and protective remedy for lumber versus fungal decay and insects causing damage to wood. Timbor is the cheapest termite spray.
Please revise my previous post to know how to choose your special termite spray. Here.

List of special spray for each wood termites:
Now let’s list the suitable termite controller for each termite type:
Woods is a habitat for large family of insects such as: Drywood termites, dampwood termites and carpenter ants, moreover, there are many insects feed the woody materials and cause distinctive damage and big economical loss, such wood destroyers are: powderPost, Beetles, False PowderPost Beetles, Furniture and Deathwatch Beetles, Old House Borers, Longhorn Beetles, Ambrosia Beetles, Mold of wood and wood rot, as well as Subterranean Termites, that is not predominant in woody materials but build tunnels underneath the ground.
  • Drywood Termites: colonize the Wood and occasionally other cellulose material. Often found in attic wood; need very little moisture. Reproduce sexual forms which eventually swarm to form new colonies. Drywood termite infestations are identifiable by piles of fecal pellets in places like windowsills. as well as Shed wings, Ejected wood pellets, Galleries inside wood, and of course Piles of fecal pellets outside wood galleries.
Best remedies recommended for Structural infestations: fumigation for severe infestations, Spot Treatments with liquid termidicide Boracare or Timbor which may then be injected into the galleries. Dusts treatments should always be injected in small amounts, as too much will cause the termites to damn off the gallery and move elsewhere.

Since it always above ground in dry, undecayed wood, so that the best termite control used for Drywood Termites is "BORACARE especially with MOLD-CARE enhanced products". Boracare able to kill Workers, soldiers, as well as members which are Black Winged and Reproductive.

Also, early Wood Treatments by insecticide borate preservative such as Timbor or Boracare are a great preventative treatment for wood that is not yet infested.
  • Dampwood Termite: also named Termopsidae is a Creamy white to brownish with 6 legs. Found throughout the pacific coastal and adjacent states, the desert or semi-arid southwest, and southern Florida. To avoid it, you must eliminate sources of moisture and increase ventilation. Found in logs, stumps, dead trees, fence posts and utility poles. dampwood white ant not usually attack structure, however, dampwood termites and other termite species cause a collective $5 billion in property damage each year.
Best spray is Termidor, but there are many substitutions for termidor such as: 
Adonis Insecticide 24.7 oz, Adonis has midacloprid 21.4% as Active ingredient. however Adonis is not specific as its Target Pests including Subterranean termites, drywood termites, dampwood termites, carpenter ants, wood-infesting beetles or borers, aphids, beetles (see label for types), thrips, whiteflies, leafhoppers, and more. 
  • Carpenter Ants: 
1. TERRO 16 oz. Carpenter Ant Aerosol T1900: The precision tube directs the spray into wall voids and infested wood where pests live
Used For indoor and outdoor use by easy to use long tube which help spray the contents precisely into walls and infested woods and terminate the life of insects, also provide residual control for up to four weeks after effective extermination.

2. TERRO 600 1-Pound Ant Killer Dust: 
It is a very good killer for carpenter ants as well as other annoying insects as fire ants, boxelder bugs, cockroaches, crickets, firebrats, spiders, ticks, wasps and silverfish

Terro product has these Active Ingredients: Deltamethrin(s), alpha-cyano3-phenoxybenzyl -(1R,3R)392-3-(2-2dibromovinyl)-2-2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylate = 0.05% other ingredients = 99.5% (they do not list them), manufacturer reports that they use this fairly often and it really works good

I can conclude that:
Many termites killers in the market, but you certainly do not have enough money to set and test every one, hence, I argue you to go with most used controller by other customers especially the spray form, Instead of spraying your walls which only poisons your family and the termites in the wall but not the other 95% of them back in the ground creating more termite and heavily eating more woods especially if the queen kept.

Sprayers have a precision tube which will push the active ingredients so far into the holes of woods and laterally kill the original colony and the queen herself; in addition to most sprays of termites have no foul odor, no residual toxicity.

Termidor is the king due to heavy use by global users, but again you have to define the type of termites and use special spray for every type firstly. 

Wood infestation usually treated with Timbor and Bora-Rid but not with soil, which may act as herbicide and kill your plants too. The borate spray will stop the topical entrance of termites up to 1 foot into the holes.

Termites fed on the remains of food in the kitchen, and the collectibles of wood or any other Manufactures of wood.
White ant bites lead to death. Be warned.
If you WANT TERMITES TO DIE forever and completely control them. then I argue you to read my blog posts carefully, where I concluded the most imported tips that will help you getting rid of termites forever.

Who know the best choice of termite killer spray?Pros are the best to give advice and experienced people who engaged with self-treating of pests in their own.

Which brand of termite spray is the most effective to get rid of active termites?If you have a specific species of termites it is not necessary to identify them, because the fact is the existing anti-termites are not broad spectrum killers which not affect all types of ants, however it may used to kill insects other than ants.

How to choose the best termite spay?Before buy a termite spray you must decide:
The control method: a do-it-yourself termiticide including chemical sprays, traps, termite barriers, repellent, or baits, the good chemicals are not cheap. Or hire a good reputable pest control company, Bigger is not usually better.

Viability of infestation: You have an active or non active termites.

Infestation extension: The infestation is light or heavy: Honestly, for heavy active infestations of termites get pros or a licensed exterminator out to do inspections which come out periodically and service the traps, however they drill holes around the foundation, into the soil and add liquid chemical.

What is your budget: you will use a control method which cost much money or less, but keep in your mind that reducing quality to comply with the price demands. The end user, consumer, trusts the good name of the supplier. And can be disappointed when they are not getting the results or quality they expected. The sad truth is most folks don't know the difference. Also remember it’s the residual you want and the box store chemicals have less than half of the active ingredient as the commercial products that used by pest control companies.

The source type of termites: drywood, dampwood, Formosan, and subterranean termites.
Subterranean termites are found mostly in warm, coastal regions - primarily California, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia. Drywood termites can be found anywhere in the states.
Subterranean termites can be found in wood and compost piles around your home, in addition to the foundational wood. Subterranean termites are the most dangerous and cause bigger damage which require more effective techniques of treatment than drywood ants.
NB.: 90% of termite populations in the United states are those of subterranean termites. 10% are those of drywood termites.
drywood or dampwood termites are living around coastal areas which more humidity exist, while Subterranean termites travel in mud shelter tubes.

The termite control stage: difference between a repair and a retreat bond.

The infested area: each place has its precautions to avoid side effects on your children or house plants, it is important to say that most effective chemicals will have strong effect on household plants or trees planted around your house.

What/which is the best termite spray?
Best termite spray used in the house, and home gardens containing white ants which still active and subversive is Termidor which is the choice of customers around USA; I experienced a mixture of termidor with a protection method or long term barriers as anti re-infestation technique, such salt or vinegar will maximize the effect and get the most value of insecticide spray.
Why not do it yourself?
Best spray for abandoned places and still containing relics of termite nests is:
They are not as effective as the termidor. But review the label to confirm the legal permitted uses of Termidor.

Liquid repellent termiticide treatment using products such as Prelude and Talstar, etc. This treatment is used to discourage termites from attacking the structure of building.

Liquid non-repellent termiticide treatment using products such as Phantom, Premise or Termidor are used for long term termite control, where the ant transfere the chemical active ingredients over their foots to the whole colony everywhere in the house and completely destroy the nests.

Bora Care can be used as a wood treatment to help prevent subterranean termite infestations.

Does termite spray effective than baiting systems?
Baiting system does not work against drywood termites, only subterranean. Moreover, termidor has replaced the usage of bait but recently it came back after the controversy over the termidor product label
Termite baits need a pre-knowledge of feeding pattern of termites, so that; if the ants act a random feeding or fractured feeding pattern, it will poorly work.
Also, Termidor will work against Drywood termites, but not as it will be applied for your subterranean problem, it would be a separate treatment into the walls.
Termite bait is very successful in killing the colonies that provide its survival, but does not give any protection against termite colonies back again while Termidor barrier can provide ongoing exclusion.

Does termidor spray is worth it or a waste of time and money?Termidor is the best termite killer recommended by worldwide customers. But Why termidor is the best termite spray?
Definitely is due to its distinctive properties as it is liquid, non-repellent and cheap, as I reviewed it.
I can conclude that:
Termidor is cheaper and effective than bait systems but note that baits has its special usage as well as termidor.
The best product of anti-termite infestation in soil is Termidor SC.
The best wood termite treatment according to customers experience is Bora Care.
The best universal termite control products recommended by world wide community are Premise 2 and Bora Care.
The ant non-repellent termidicide as (Termidor, Premise) can do well.
Anything with imidacloprid as active ingredient is good, but still in second to Termidor.
Not that: A non-repellent poison into the soil (such as fipronil or imidacloprid) can kill off subterranean termites. Pruning off the dead material will reduce the drywood termite risk. However, in natural situations, termites often infest trees without any serious downside,
