Dacthal monoacid is applied as a liquid to cracks and crevices where these pests are found. When termites or other invertebrates come in contact with this pesticide, they die within a few minutes. This product has been shown to be effective against mollusca, such as slugs and snails, but not against arthropods like spiders. Dacthal monoacid has been shown to cause pseudoallergic reactions in some people when applied topically; monitoring should be done before applying this product on humans.
