Had a bunch of carpenter ants in my SUV door panel. They would get agitated and start roaming around when vehicle was in motion. Parked in garage with windows down and gassed the garage with bug bombs without removing door panels. Thought using bombs in enclosed vehicle might be too much. Worked great! Work on termites???

The propellant in most aerosols are flammable so if your water heater is in your garage it could be an issue (they don’t call them bombs for nothing). It may help but the most effective other than fumigation is going to be getting Termidor Foam into the galleries. The termites won’t know that it there and will continue to use the gallery and spread the active through out the colony.

Default Bug Bombs for Termites

Beaver- A great point! In our current SC home the water heater is not in the garage. In our former Fla home where I did the fumigation the water heater in the garage was electric. I try to be careful around open flames and avoid storing gasoline near where I might grinding or cutting that produces sparks.

Trying spraying Taurus SC anywhere you see activity. The termites will walk through it and bring it back to their nest and kill everything.

Taurus SC is the generic version of Termidor SC with the same active ingredient. They are both designed as an insecticide & termiticide.
