The active ingredient of non repellent termiticide are usually filpronil or imidacloprid.

Marami nyan sa Lazada, like Termidor or Taurus SC, both filpronil. But I don't know if they come in foam spray form. Meron powder, which they use as bait. Same principle, lalakaran ng termites, at ita transmit sa kasama nila hanggang sa queen bee. Careful lang if you have pets.

Alphacypermethrin pala ang active ingredient ng Chaindrite, ginoogle ko. Permethrin ata commonly used insectide?

I keep a few cans of Bayer Premise(Imidacloprid 0.05%). Similar to the non-repellent Termidor. Pretty effective for resident indoor above-ground drywood termites. Just drill series of holes onto suspected areas of activity/infestation. Spray in the foam & patch it up w/ putty. It won't be instant, but they'll eventually be rid of. Avoid repellent termicides...they're not as effective as the non-repellent foam.

Can it be put in a roll of tissue instead and covered with tape on the infected area? That's what the termite company did with one of our doorjambs. The reason being that the soft tissue is much preferred than the harder wood and indeed after 2 weeks it was already half consumed. So he placed another one, and again after 2 weeks, no bites. Means mission accomplished [emoji3]

Hehe...to get more miles out a can? Can they be sure the activity dint just move elsewhere? Hitting suspected areas at multiple points raises coverage & success rate. I initially experimented Premise & now try to keep a few cans handy. Easy effective DIY.
For prevention, we trench perimeter walls on all our recent builds....gives owners that option to DIY & save sums.

On a different note Sir Travs, is there a simple metric used to estimate cost of kitchen cabinets, countertop and built-in cabinets?

With the accessibility of everything you only used to see in luxury euro cabinetry, guesstimates are no longer that simple. Local customizers have come a long way, too. Carcass materials now have rot/borer-proof options. Drawers are more of integral load-bearing systems these days. Granite is more memorial park than kitchen material now. Cabinetry, usage, needs, tech & lifestyle have evolved so much....we have to constantly update.
I suggest to shop around, sir. Lotsa options & the cost range has widened significantly.
