A few more points and I’m done:
1. Fipronil has worked extremely well and has been safe in my experience. If you follow the instructions for ant control for Termidor, you’d be spraying a 0.06% concentrated spray of Fipronil. I use Frontline to kill fleas & ticks on my dogs (it is applied directly at the base of the neck and it spreads throughout the coat via the oil glands), and it has a 9.8% concentration of Fipronil.
2. The article you quoted mentions the use of Fipronil but also says, “These treatments are often breeched within 2-3 months post application.” I’ve not experienced that in my use of Fipronil. I live in a mountainous area: real 4 seasons if you ignore droughts & floods, and spraying 2x yearly since 2010 is all I’ve needed.
3. Quicken software tells me that I purchased Termidor in 2010 from the following company:

Amazon doesn’t sell this product directly, and some reviews on Amazon are claiming that their seller, “WeSellDirect”, are not selling a legitimate version of Termidor? Don’t know about that. So be careful.
Take care & good luck....
Thank you so much, again.
I don’t have the problem ... yet, but I’ve noticed an extraordinary increase in ants this year so I’m concerned.
