You can buy it at Spar's on 44 across from the plaza where Flippers and Publix is located.

I don't think a granular product placed on the ground will do anything to deter subterranean termites. The perimeter treatment requires injection of a liquid poison deep into the ground every 16 inches around the perimeter of your house. I watched Massey do it to my house. These termites live in the soil and invade the house by constructing earth tunnels because they cannot survive in the daylight. They wouldn't go anywhere near an aboveground granular product. You can choose to not have your house treated, but I do because the cost is less than 10 percent of my homeowners insurance, and all they do is collect your money. I would not do any treatment for the flying type of termites.
