Premise Foam

Premise Foam, manufactured by Bayer, is a foaming termiticide that comes in a ready-to-use can. No measuring, mixing, or waiting around is required.

Premise Foam delivers precisely formulated dry foam every time, under any conditions, to attack termite problems on the spot. Premise Foam is a non-repellent, meaning that termites will not be able to detect the poison and will walk over it and ingest it unknowingly.

A single 18-ounce can produces five gallons of foam, which expands to a 30:1 ratio to cover hard-to-reach areas such as inside termite galleries, wall voids, floor voids, and more. The foam comes with two applicator tips to make it easy to shoot.

Tools Needed

There are no tools needed to operate the Premise Foam as it comes ready to use, but you may need a drill to drill holes in walls to inject the foam.

How to Use

• Step 1: Inspect and note areas, where you are specific termite activity, is taking place or where termite galleries are established.
• Step 2: If needed, drill holes into walls and voids roughly the size of a nail. Poke holes every 18 inches down a wall, 10 feet in each direction. Premise Foam is dispensed at approximately 0.2 fluid ounces of liquid formulation or 50 cubic inches of foam per second.
• Step 3: Shake the Premise. The applicator tip can be attached to the Premise Foam and injected with the Foam, pressing for about 10 seconds to get sufficient foam into the void.
• Step 4: Apply the Premise Foam where you have termite or ant activity or other wood-boring insects. These can be in cracks and crevices along windows and doors, wall voids, crawl spaces, behind sheetrock, and other areas where there may be a termite gallery.

Where to Use

Use Premise Foam to treat insect galleries in damaged wood, into spaces between wooden structural members, or into voids within the construction. Locations treated 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 timber and foundations. Use this product in commercial and residential structures, as well as other non-structural wooden constructions subject to termite or wood-infesting insect attack.

When to Use

Premise Foam should be used as part of a termite treatment program when there is an ant infestation or when carpenter bees are damaging wood.

Safety Information

Premise Foam is safe to use when applied according to the label directions. Wear the necessary PPE when applying it, and keep children and pets away from the treated area until the product has dried.

Special Considerations

Premise Foam comes in an 18-ounce can with a nozzle connected to a flexible tube/straw and two plastic tip attachments for easy access to termite galleries.
