Outdoors and in-wall use only, what about crawlspace beneath living areas? Is that a safe application?

Would have to say "no problem". The active ingredient in Tarus is Fripinol which is what they use for treating fleas and ticks on dogs and cats. The product is odorless, I sprayed my entire yard to get rid of "fire ants" and it never bothered our dogs. Living in the south on the coast, we have also sprayed out attic areas to exterminate/prevent Formosa Termites which don't really need to go to the soil for water. Great product.

No, it's safe to use in a closed space. We use it to heat the garage when I'm working on a project.

That would work well. I don't spray outside...just inside and in the garage. I spray a barrier along the garage door bottom, all corners, and any place that looks like a haven for spiders. I also spray along the base of all the entry doors, under the sinks, behind appliances, and along baseboards. This stuff works great if you do it a couple times a year. I treat my house in the fall and again in the spring. I live in Mississippi near a bayou so there are plenty of bugs out there but they don't bother coming inside when I use this stuff.

With instruction manual in hand, it states can be intended for indoor or outside use. It also states to install with weatherproof fittings if mounted outsided. Hope this helps.

Hello Kyle,This cable should be okay for your crawlspace. A burial cable would be more durable is all. The only worry is, how cold does it get in your crawlspace?Sincerely, Taylor W.VIVO

These are meant to be mounted in the crawl space in the concrete/block foundation. This allows them to vent from the inside to the outside and will carry moisture out and clean the crawlspace air. You should have a wall mounted electrical outlet installed close to the fan unit so you can power it. If not, you may be able to run a heavy duty commercial extension cord from the nearest outlet to the fan and power it. The instructions, however, call for a permanent plug near the crawl space fan. Good luck.

I believe it is safe enough to install inside a home but I think it would be too noisy. Even though it is very quiet running in a garage it wouldn't be quiet enough in a home.

IMO, circulation of air would be a challenge in the crawlspace. The unit will cycle on and off relatively quickly (every couple minutes) if you don't have sufficient circulation.

I personally wouldn't use in a confined area ( little or no ventilation), the added moisture may result in bigger problems.

I wouldn't, I would set upright and move quickly out of the area....see their website instructional page. I used it in a similar crawl space and it worked great.

We're attempting to address new home potentially toxic fumes from spray in insulation and fire proof coating in crawl space walls. Have additionally installed air to air heat exchanger / exhaust (Panasonic).

Suggest you use only for outdoors. Does not seem appropriate for indoor use in mu opinion.

YesGuidera48 said on November 16, 2014 | Edit Yes. I have mine in a wall in the kitchen by the back door. However you will have to frame the inside of the opening with 1x4 wood and paint it. I have installed over 8 of these in walls over the years for customers. I am a general contractor and remodel lots of kitchens. I always sell this item as a must have. I normally line the space with bent aluminum coil. ( used in roof fascias and other locations on a house). This allows the cleaning of the tunnel on a regular basis. I used to paint the tunnel but you have no idea how dirty it gets. I install the flap part on the sheetrock in the house and the trim piece on the outside. it all depends what kind of exterior you have on the house. I.e. Brick, hardie plank, vinyl siding, etc. . On lap siding, T111 siding or vinyl, i picture frame the opening and install the plastic trim on top. The tunnel ends up about 5 to 6 inches long. Both my cat and jack russell fly through it. In the mornings, when I go turn on the coffee machine, they are both waiting by the door to be let out. . Best thing I did for them, and me.

I live in a large loft with alot of living space. We have a sliding steel door that is the only thing separating us from the elements outside. I've opted to run this inside and so far so good. I'd say as long as you have a lot of ventilation you will be just fine. Also, the wick should be cut enough to not give off any toxic soot - so keep it short.

Yes - we use in in our crawl space and it works quite well. One of the criteria was the drain pump which we use to drain the dehumidifier into our washer drain which is above floor level.

no I would use it outside only, if you use indoors you will have dead bugs falling all over the floor.

I don't believe it is for outside use. We've only installed them inside commercial spaces. I would confirm their intended usage via the Elkay website.
