It seems to me that pet and termite formulations could be delivered in a way that makes it impractical to apply as a broad spectrum insecticide applied by sprayer.

But I'm not sure you're right about the termite application presenting no risk to bees. The EU banned neonicitinoids used to protect seeds from insects. On the grounds that the neonics end up in the pollen.

It's not uncommon to have flowering plants next to a foundation.
