They manufacture pest control solution products to improve garden plants and protect them from pests using cutting-edge biology.
BioAdvanced Killer Foam has Imidacloprid as the active ingredient. It has an expansion ratio of 30:1 foam. Apart from termites, this foam will kill Carpenter Bees and other insects as well. The active ingredient of this spray is Imidacloprid, which is probably the most widely used insecticide. Imidacloprid affects the nervous system of the bee, leading to paralysis and the death of the insects. It can be used on lawns, woodpiles, and wooden elements in basements, attics, and other areas.
It is a foam spray that could be extended to the length, which is the most comfortable for use. This feature provides an opportunity to reach the hard-to-get places and spread the substance across the entire area of bee life. It also has a two-week duration of effectiveness.

How To Use
Shake it well before use. It works well when held upright and can only be applied to surfaces as spot and crack and crevice treatment. Manufacturers recommend pointing away from the face and slowly pressing the trigger to remove the foam. To reduce run-off, it is recommended that the application tip be kept firmly against the injection point for a full 5 seconds after the release of the dispenser trigger; this will allow the product to fully expand and enter the target area in the application hose.

FAQ
Can BioAdvanced Killer Foam prevent future infestations?

How long does it take for BioAdvanced Termite & Carpenter Bee Killer Plus Foam to act on termites?
It’s immediate. You may need to reapply in a week or so if you see any termites that may have survived from your first treatment.
Does BioAdvanced Killer Foam work for major infestations?
This product is ideal for small infestation spot treatments. If your home has a widespread termite infestation, it’s best to call professional termite specialists for effective termite treatment.
Conclusion
The rate of enlargement is quite impressive. You can use the extension applicator to dig deep into carpenter bee tunnels or termite galleries and seal them quickly. Thanks to its transmitting properties, this formula will take care of the rest of the termite colony. Infected insects will continue their daily routine and bring the poisonous foam back to the colony.
The 0.05 percent imidacloprid concentration appears to be more than sufficient for just 18oz. This termite killer is also working on carpenter bees, another wood-damaging pest. The 18oz spray cans are among the most affordable you’ll find when it comes to foam sprayers.
Now, with this foam, there’s a small issue. Since it has a quick expansion rate, it can be tricky to measure how quickly you need to spray it. If you only find small tunnels, you might be okay with a quick buff. But suppose you want long-term protection and a guarantee that you will kill all subterranean termites. In that case, it’s necessary to apply foam in large volumes at a faster rate and even use other pesticides such as liquid termiticides, bait stations, and pesticide-filled baits.
