Fuse Termiticide has a 3-5 year shelf life when stored properly (in a cool, dry area away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight). If the product is exposed to extreme temperatures (such as freezing), this can cause the product to lose efficacy and no longer provide desired results.
FUSE Termiticide Insecticide is a non-repellent insecticide that is undetectable to target pestes, allowing them to touch, ingest, and spread the insecticide throughout the entire colony. Typically, it takes an average of 90 days to eliminate a termite colony.
Please refer to the bottom portion of Page 21 of the product label for a full list of insects Fuse Termiticide Insecticide will treat.
FUSE Termiticide Insecticide is an insecticide only and will not kill any frogs. We found an article here with more information on removing Cuban tree frogs in your area.
For treating active infestations indoors, you can use Fuse Foam Ready-to-Use Termiticide Insecticide to inject into the colony. Both FUSE products have a shelf life of 3-5 years when stored in a cool dry place.
FUSE Termiticide Insecticide can be used around the perimeter of your home to control the listed insects. However, this product is only specifically labeled for Cellar Spiders. A better option would be Demand CS. Demand CS would be a great choice for spider control as well as general insect control. Microencapsulated products like this one will hold up better outdoors, and their larger particle size makes them easier for larger insects like spiders and scorpions to pick up on their bodies. It is also a great choice for indoor spider control. Spraying Demand CS will also help to get rid of the other insects (silverfish, sow bugs aka rollie pollies and millipedes) that spiders feed on and that will help to stop new spiders from moving inside. Indoors, spray around all baseboards, door frames, window frames, under appliances, in closets and storage rooms and in areas where utilities enter into the structure. Outdoors you should spray around the bottom of the foundation, on the ground adjacent to the foundation, door frames, window frames and places where the utilities enter into the structure.
When using FUSE Termiticide Insecticide for termite treatments, it will be applied in the same manner as other termiticides. The idea is to create an uninterrupted barrier around the exterior foundation of your home so any termite attempting to gain access to your structure will travel through the treated soil. So you would still need to drill through any concrete that may be interrupting the soil to foundation contact in order apply your termiticide to complete that uninterrupted barrier.
FUSE Termiticide Insecticide is applied 2-8 times per year depending on the dilution rate. Please see below:
Application Table for Perimeter Treatments

Wide Band 2 ft up by 2 ft out |
|---|---|---|

| 0.13% | 4 perimeter applications / year | 2 perimeter applications / year |
FUSE Termiticide is not restricted except in the states of New York and California. If you do not live in one of those states, then you can purchase this product without a pesticide license as long as you are using it for your own use and property. You do need a license when you are treating other people's property for profit.
Yes, Nyguard IGR can be added to FUSE Termiticide Insecticide and tank mixed to be applied together. Nyguard can be added to any insecticide for growth regulation as well as being applied by itself. Be sure the insects you are targeting and the areas that you need to treat are on the labels for both products. Keep in mind that FUSE is NOT labeled for flea treatment of any kind nor should it be used for broadcast application over the yard for any use.
FUSE Termiticide Insecticide is not labeled for roaches. We would recommend using our Roach Control Kit Rotation A. It comes with everything you will need to do a complete treatment for roaches.
Please check out our Roach Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches.
Fuse Termiticide Insecticide should not be used directly on plants intentionally; it should be applied directly around the structure as directed on the product label. If some of the product were to drift onto ornamentals or turf, it would not harm them. Be careful to apply when conditions are calm and drift will not contact flowering plants where pollinators are present.
Fuse Termiticide Insecticide is not labeled for fleas. We would recommend a product like Talstar Xtra Granules for your lawn. This is an excellent and cost effective solution for fast-acting, long lasting protection.
FUSE Termiticide Insecticide is labeled as pet safe when used as directed. We advise to allow 1-2 hours before releasing any children or pest into the treated area to allow the residual to dry completely.
Fuse Termiticide and Termidor SC are both very good products for termites. They both contain non-repellents so that the pests do not know they are coming in contact with it. Fuse does have two active ingredients, one of them being fipronil, which is in Termidor SC. The other is imidacloprid. Both act in the insects nervous systems, but in different locations. Imidacloprid targets post-synaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insects, causing over-stimulation of the insects nervous systems. Fipronil acts as a post-synaptic gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibitor, also resulting in over-stimulation of the insects' nervous systems. According to the manufacturer, this product could last up to 8 years in the soil. Termidor SC lasts approximately 10 years in the soil. You will treat the same way with both products as well.
