Default Foaming/spraying for drywood termites

A few questions from Santa Cruz, CA:

1) Are there any foaming agents that have been approved for use with
Premise, Termidor, or Bora-Care in California? (I see that neither
Masterline Foam nor Termitafoam has been approved.)

2) Does foaming or spraying Premise, Termidor, or Bora-Care into wall
voids stand a reasonable chance of penetrating well enough to kill
active but as yet undetected drywood termite infestations?

3) Does foaming or spraying Premise, Termidor, or Bora-Care into wall
voids protect the entire height of the studs from drywood termite
reinfestation or does the chemical settle so that only the support
beam and the lower portion of the studs are protected?

4) If there is insulation, will foaming or spraying into the upper
part of the void protect the upper part of the studs or does it
generally settle to the bottom?

Thanks in advance to all,

Mike
