For a discussion of social insects, see generally U.S. Pat. No. 5,152,992. That patent is incorporated by reference herein to the extent it discusses social insects and their habits.
In the prior art, various techniques of applying fast acting insecticides in, around, and under a structure are used to eliminate social insects such as termites in the structure. For eliminating social insects in the ground vertical tubular stations were used.
