It’s the termiticide that you’ll have trouble buying.  Which honestly is a shame.  It’s a growth inhibitor that works in very low concentrations. It stops the termite from making its exoskeleton.  They can’t mate because they can’t reach maturity, then they die. If you ate a pound of it, you may have trouble growing fingernails for a bit but it’s safely in a cartridge.  If you find activity, it’s easy enough to call in somebody with a termite license to fix the issue.
