Even though it can be purchased in many places online, like Amazon, the Termidor web site says that only professionals can purchase or use it.
There are even directions online about how to apply it.... though they are prefaced with "for professionals only". The directions are way beyond anything I, as a home owner, have had to do to apply insecticide from a hardware store.
There are lots of things like Termidor that are "for professionals only" that you can purchase online, but Termidor actually seems to be dangerous to work with unless you know how to handle it.
This is from the Termidor web site...
"Where can I buy Termidor?
Termidor cannot be directly purchased or applied by homeowners. Only licensed pest control professionals who have taken Termidor Certification Training are authorized to purchase and apply Termidor. "
