Question from Gigi
Is anyone familiar with Dri-Out for Termites?
I have looked at Tim-bor, however, I was told that I would also need a soil treatment.
Is Dri-Out as non-toxic/safe as the manufacturers say?
It is a dry micron size desiccant powder that clings to the exoskelton and dehydrates the insect within two hours of contact rather than affecting the nervous system.
According to the MSDS and Technical Sheets, it is a SYNTHETIC amorphous silica, not to be confused with silica such as quartz or other naturally occuring silica. It has a Health Rating of 0.
It does not seem to be carcenagenic.
Debra’s Answer
This appears to be a nontoxic product by its description.
