Perhaps the reason we simple folk aren't supposed to get the REAL stuff is
to protect from people who haphazardly spray everything with liquid sevin if
that's what they have. Please be careful with what you spray around. And
try to spray with something that will target what you actually want to kill.
There are many effective termite treatments that we simple folk can buy and
use. Borates are very effective and actually quite safe to use. Googling
on termite insecticide finds
