Context of my work; I am exposing (ripping up slate covering them these boards. I have treated Termidor foam what i believe to be active damage (note only a handful of termite visible in the 'active area' by first covering the area with Contact book covering aka (adhesive clear plastic) then spraying the foam through small holes pierced in the plastic. I can see a couple of entry points, mud tunnels up the side of a joist and up a concrete stump, which i have also treated. Does anyone know once this treatment has taken place and left, is a couple of weeks undisturbed enough time for the infected termites to travel though whatever tunnels they have back to the nest and infect the others? I am not new to building/ renovating but am new to termite treatments and aim to 'DIY it'. Cost of professional treatment and contradictory treatment advice doesn't instill confidence in the so called professionals. I want to get on with re-laying what is damaged but I obviously want to get to the route cause being killing the nest. I will treat the property with an all perimeter trench based Termidor HE Treatment, but i need to make the the floors safe i.e relayed asap for families safety. Any perspective of wait time from treatment with foam to being able to remove damaged areas and replacing boards would be appreciated. any experience with Temridor foam treatment in flooring.
