    Q:Will Harris Termite Powder kill dry wood termites and how efficient is it?
    by|Jan 19, 2024
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Harris 16oz Termite Powder is a preventative treatment. Clemson University states this, "The starting point for control is a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the infestation. Often this is best accomplished by a pest management professional. Infestations are often localized and treatment can be limited to those areas. One of the best ways to control a localized infestation is to remove it. For example if an infestation is confined to a door, trim, or piece of furniture, the best course of action would be to remove and destroy the infested wood. If removal is not practical, a localized insecticide treatment may be done by one of two methods. An insecticide can be injected as a dust or liquid formulation into the termite galleries using a drill-and-treat method or applied as a liquid to the surface of the wood. With the later technique, termites would not be eliminated until they moved close to the wood surface where they would contact the insecticide. Proper preparation and application using these techniques are critical. These treatment methods can be done best by a professional." Drywood Termites | Home & Garden Information Center (clemson.edu) Thank you!

            I am very unhappy with my experience. I had ordered the 5 pack, but only received a single unit. I called to ask about the rest, and was supposedly credited $40. However, that $40 has not yet been returned to my account. I am NOT a happy customer.

              This was the worst experience I ever had with an on-line order. I purchased the 5 pack but only received 1 in the box delivered. Home Depot wanted me to file a claim with FedEx or dispute with my credit card company. Home Depot's position was "the weight on the shipping box was 7lbs" so all items were delivered. The reality was the box weighed just over 1lb. I reluctantly accepted "the 1 time courtesy refund". Putting liability on the customer for a glitch in the fulfillment process is wrong.

                I bought Harris Termite Powder to be used as a maintenance treatment. I have no idea if it works or not because I am only using as a prevention. It is very hard to dissolve in water and will begin to separate shortly after mixing, clogging the sprayer.

                The powder was safe to use around the base of my house and in the basement. Also, it was odorless and easy to use. As, I don't have any pets.
