Taurus PT 505 is a liquid formulation used to control various wood-infesting pests, including subterranean, arboreal, drywood, and dampwood termites, as well as carpenter ants, beetles, and borers. The product is applied as a dilution at concentrations of 0.06%, 0.09%, or 0.125% to create horizontal or vertical treated zones. Application sites include concrete slabs on ground or in basements, as well as the interior and exterior perimeter of foundation walls and around pillars.
