Optigard Flex is a product used to control drywood termites, carpenter bees, wood-destroying beetles, borers, and subterranean termites (workers and reproductives). It can be applied as a liquid or a foam to targets such as galleries, wood surfaces, existing infestations, or in voids, cracks, and crevices. When used in living areas, spot treatments or crack-and-crevice applications should be made in areas where occupants will not be exposed to direct contact.
