Power Injector vs Dusting

April 18, 2025 By Tech Support Leave a Comment

I was about to dust the siding on my house this spring but then you came out with the power inj. Should i use that instead? My cover mites are level 3 and have been in the siding for awhile. Last year I found your site on reddit and got your maxx with bost and it really helped. After 3 treatments I didn’t see many and none inside but i know they’re still there. I was planning on dusting from the gutters down but watched the vids on the injector and I think this would be better. Siding is vinyl.

We’ve had several inquiries asking this exact question and here is how we suggest you proceed.

Based on what we know about WOOD TREATING for TERMITES and other wood eating pests, MAXXTHOR EC and BASE OIL will last pretty much indefinitely when applied to wood inside the home like sill plate, rafters and floor joists. Normally this wood won’t be subject to rain or weather so the chemical locks in and will remain very stable – especially since the base oil enables it to penetrate through and through. But behind home siding, it will probably break down in 6-12 months due to humidity and even water flow common to most any home siding. So compared to the dust, it probably won’t last a long (remember, Xempt dust is water tolerant).

MAXXTHOR EC


 

BUGSPRAY POWER INJECTOR


 

That said, with the POWER INJECTOR, you can actually reach much further into the void and in turn, knock out an active problem immediately. XEMPT DUST won’t work nearly as well.

Its hard to judge what the difference will be but based on the 4 siding we treated and measured, if the dust was migrating 1-2 feet, the Power Injector was more than doubling the coverage getting at least 3-4 feet laterally when injected at 60 psi. And remember, it can be powered up to 90 psi AND if needed, you can use Base Oil as the solvent. This will get you coverage and depth no dust or other regular liquid mixture can achieve.

BASE OIL FOR THERMAL FOGGING AND TANK MIXTURES


 

For this main reason, WE HAVE BEEN ADVISING MOST EVERYONE TO POWER INJECT FIRST IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM! This way you can get control of the issue and in theory, eliminate the infestation for good. And since the treatment should still last 6-12 months, its not likely you’ll need to retreat more than 1-2 a year anyway. Again, its just the spring of 2025 when this post is being added to our site and the Power Injector has only been afield for 3 months. But so far the results have been incredible. We’re getting many reports of pests being eliminated with one treatment. And most of these reports are coming from customers that have had issues for many years.

So if you have been using Maxxthor and have seen positive results like you’re reporting, there is no reason to move away from it. For now, get the Power Injector and stick with the Maxxthor.

The dust will still be ideal for inside treatments where you can’t spray a liquid, like up high in a wall. So for electric outlets, under light switch covers, attics and air vents, the dust will be the way to go. But where you can inject a liquid, the Power Injector is by far superior for any active problem and well suited for home siding, around window frames, door frames and under baseboards.
