I live in New York. Recently, I had a Carpenter Ant problem.
I bought Ficam and treated the basement underneath my house and all of the walls where they meet the floors in my house. Worked great.
I then called for a free Termite Inspection.
He said the Ficam worked great and I have the Carpenter Ants under control.
I showed him some dead flying insects. He said they were Flying Ants, not Flying termites.
He searched the basement and all over the inside and outside of the house for termites.
He said he only found 1 outside "inactive" termite trail on the outside of my house. He said there was no sign of live termites anywhere.
I know that the Ficam on the inside of the house works on Termites also.
My question is:
Is it worth it to treat for termites on the outside of the house with the Canister baiting kits.
Twice this year, I treated the outside with Durisban for carpenter ants.
So I am trying to determine, if it is worth it, for me to purchase the Professional Canister baiting kits that are available.
Thanks much,
