Nisus Istrike Foam
Nisus Istrike Foam
iStrike is a ready-to-use foaming insecticide manufactured by Nisus Corporation. Containing the active ingredient Imidacloprid, iStrike works systemically and attacks the central nervous system of the target pest, leading to paralysis and eventual death.
iStrike is great for applying to insect galleries in damaged wood, in voids and other wooden elements to treat for termites, wood borers, carpenter bees and some species of ants. The expanding foam feature allows the product to reach the pests where they are hiding in a way that most other pesticides are unable to do.
If you are looking to attack wood-destroying pests in and around your home or structure, iStrike is highly recommended.
Tools Needed
iStrike comes ready-to-use and has application accessories that come with the product so no other tools are needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: Shake the can well before using and hold it away from your face then slowly press the trigger to dispense foam on the target area.
- Step 2: Spray the foam into cracks, crevices, and wall voids to eliminate wood damaging insects and other targeted pests.
- Step 3: Reapply iStrike as often as needed.
Where to Use
iStrike Foam can be used on insect galleries in damaged wood, in spaces between wooden structural members, or in voids within the construction.
The locations that are intended for treatment may include, but are not limited to, exposed wooden elements in crawlspaces, basements, or attics, unexposed wooden elements inside walls or other structural voids, exterior wooden elements in decks, fencing or siding, channels in damaged wood, in spaces between wooden elements of a structure, and junctions between wood and foundations. This product is also for use in residential structures subject to termite or wood-infesting insect attack.
When to Use
iStrike Foam can be used to as a preventative treatment plan to stop termites and other targeted pests from entering a structure or it can be used as a control method when targeted pests are suspected.
