Otherwise it will turn into a dog (go Whoof)
The fumes should do some damage.
(Works with European wasps. Termites are not so tough.)

Termidor is good, but I think it is only available to licensed
exterminators. The insects carry it back to the nest and poison the
rest.

Condifor a bug killer has the same active ingredient as Premise which is
used as a termicide. What gets me is that it remains in the soild for 7
years, yet it is sprayed on fruit and veg and the withholding time before
eating is from memory 2 weeks.
Premise available to licensed pest exterminators and condifor available at
most stores that sell gardening stuff.
