What do people use to poison termites?

Want something that I can apply.


Termidor is good, but I think it is only available to licensed
exterminators. The insects carry it back to the nest and poison the
rest.


Thanks, I'll chase it up.


Condifor a bug killer has the same active ingredient as Premise which is
used as a termicide. What gets me is that it remains in the soild for 7
years, yet it is sprayed on fruit and veg and the withholding time before
eating is from memory 2 weeks.

Premise available to licensed pest exterminators and condifor available at
most stores that sell gardening stuff.
