No, the only system that be used with the Tubes in the Wall system (that's the original name) is a specially built chemical tank with a scuba air tank to blow the chemical through the tubes. We were the first company (before Home Team) in Texas to service this system. I will tell you that I was never impressed. The installations were not up to standards on most homes. The overall problem was (in the early 90's) that the tubing was placed through the walls studs along the electrical lines and then when it came to a 90 degree bend, there was no coupler used. It was simply kinked and bent to round the corner. The couplers need to install the system correctly were a couple dollars each. If each room needs at least 4 couplers. The bottom line is the chemical never made it past the first wall bend due to the kink in the line.
The company that invented this system (based in Florida) was using third party installers and they were installing the systems for FREE. The hope was that they could generate revenue and customers off having the system installed. They were doing the same thing with the home security system.
I am not sure if anything has changed, but in most cases back then, I always felt like the Tubes in the Wall system was a failure, especially when we had a problem with general crawlers, spiders, fleas, etc that don't get inside the walls. We had to use general pest control methods to control those pests. The main emphasis back then and even today is to create an external barrier on the outside of the house to keep pests from getting inside.
This external barrier is something you can easily do yourself.
