You can treat the bath trap area soil with termidor, could even pump with premise foam. I don’t think the gel will be very effective in this type of problem. Since you also have the sheet rock removed and studs exposed you should think about treating the wood with TIM-BOR or BORACARE. Both of wood treatment products, natural borates that will penetrate the soil and work against all wood destroying insects. Manufactured by Nisus Corp. the leader in wood preservative products.
Termidor® is 100% effective at controlling 100% of termites in three months or less – a statement no other termite control product can make. That’s why since its introduction in 2000, pest management professionals have made Termidor America’s leading termite control, with more than one million structures treated. It’s the product’s unique “Transfer Effect™,” allowing Termidor to achieve 100% control of termite populations at the very low rate of just 0.06% active ingredient. And because Termidor is a non-repellent – undetectable to termites – the pests freely forage through treated areas, unknowingly ingesting, picking up and transferring Termidor throughout the population
- A 20 oz bottle of Termidor will make 25 gallons of finished solutions.
- Apply product at a rate of 4 finished gallons per 10 linear feet.
- Product will treat 62.5 linear feet of structure for termite control
- This is the same active ingredient in Frontline Drops you put on your pets for fleas and ticks.
- Kills all types of drywood and Subterranean and Formosan termites
