Locate termite galleries via visual signs (frass, pellets, blistered wood, kick-out holes, live insects), fiber optic equipment, listening devices, or tapping wood. Drill 7/64" holes into “kick-outs” to intersect galleries. Use a “W” pattern at 3"-5" intervals. Drill holes on opposite sides of 4" x 10" or larger beams. Inject for up to one minute. Avoid splash back or runoff. Plug holes after treatment with wood filler or other non-wood material. Do not drill completely through wood. Avoid electrical wiring and plumbing when drilling.
