BioAdvancedTermite Killer, Granules, 9 LB

Great product, arrived on time

Use this every year when I see winged termites. So far so good.

Got what I ordered and on time. It stated that it treated the average house. I guess my house is not average as I had to order another 9 pounds to finish up.

I ordered this product to protect a 12' x 16' wooden shed that although has no direct ground to wood contact, it still susceptible to termites. I live in Central Arkansas and spent over $25K on termite damage to my main house about 6 years ago. Needless to say, I don't want another infestation regardless of what's being infected. My house is protected by a termite prevention contract but the company will not insure the shed unless it's on a solid concrete foundation - thus this product. Using the manufacturer's recommendations I should be able to get approx 13 applications out of this 9lb container. Each application will take approx .7lbs of granules spread in a 4 to 6 foot wide area surrounding the base of the shed. Using the product twice a year (maximum recommended) this container should last me 6 years. I consider $50 a dang good insurance policy, if it works, for a six year period. Right now it's a bit early to make an application but I'll schedule the first application for early April and the second for early August. I've had great success using BioAdvanced products in the past which is why this product is getting a 5 star review. If any problems develop, I'll revisit the review.

Easy to use once a year to prevent termite infestation and kills other bugs too. Just sprinkle around house.

This is easy to use, and hopefully will deter future termite activity.As the world warms, termites thrive!I added at the footings, around under the concrete work for our new garage.The old shed that was removed for construction showed insect activity.This product seemed a good choice for preventative treatment.

Treat around house every year with this product. Peace of Mind. Easy to do.

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.
