i have good experience with stopest (even though they struck my waterpipe) - if you want i can pass a contact to you.

yes. they pumped bayer agenda around my house. warranty 5 yrs + annual inspection included. then after 5 yrs pump again. i read this agenda is pretty damn efficient - esp. when compared to regular spray.

actually i am pretty confident that drill and pump will work well. but not if your house is attached to untreated houses of course. you need to be able to create a perimeter ring around your property for it to work well. so it's bungalows only i guess.

bayer agenda is not or hardly water soluble so it will remain in the soil for a long long time. it's not immediate poison but will make the termites carry their deathsentence into the colony. this stuff is pretty convincing. i stay in a previous rubber plantation - so far so good. neighbour who just sprays got the roof eaten by a colony before. so have to spray and inspect every 3 months. the bayer agenda is warranted no termites for 5 yrs and all inclusive. more expensive initially but cheaper in the long run.

lucerne,

i did my homework - you might want to read about agenda:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fipronil

hmm fipronil can also be used to paint the wood not a problem (extremely efficient). and since its not easily washed away at all lacing the soil is extremely efficiend (unlike the normal drill jobs i take it). its non toxic to humans and pets so added plus - i found this stuff very convincing. we also painted the beams and doorframes with it and pumped underneath a visible termite colony at my neighbours place. two weeks later - no trace (note: pumped underneath not on them, so they must get in touch with it first). its more expensive but will last easily 5-10 years so that saves a lot of hassle afterwards

i dont think you can spray fipronil. either paint it on wood or pump underground. i think only certified pest control guys can do it for you. dont think hardwarestore got (at least the chinese one around my corner doesnt carry).

check for a dealer and get a quote. since it can last 5-8 years easily it's much cheaper than normal jobs in the long run. for normal contract like my neighbour pay initial pumping 1500 then every 3 months come and inspect (200 bucks or so) and respray the roof every 6 months (i think he told me its around 500). my treatment was around 3300 - including of annual inspection and retreatment should any termite surface during 5 years.

so my costs over 5 years: 3300

my neighbour: 1500 + 5*2 annual inspections *200 + 5 * 2 (twice a year) 500 for treating the roof (including the inspection i guess) = 8500

which is why i used fipronil. cheaper and the stuff is non-toxic to humans.

is bayer termidor the same stuff as bayer agenda? in that case i can confirm that this stuff rocks. didnt do any dusting though.
