    Do I need to redo the Taurus SC Termiticide treatement if it rained about 14 hours after?

    There is no need to reapply Taurus SC Termiticide if rainfall occured 14 hours after treatment. That is plenty of time for the product to become rainfast.

    10/01/2018
    Q
    Can you spray Taurus around the primeter on the inside of the garage to control crawling insects such as ants and centipedes?
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide can be applied a foot up and a foot out directly against the structure on all sides. It cannot be used in the garage.  You must keep all applications outside of the structure. If you would like a product that you can use indoors and outdoors for ants and centipedes, we recommend Talstar P.

  • Asked by Patricia
    10/16/2018
    Q
    Why can't Taurus SC be applied indoors for ant problem?
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide is NOT labeled for indoor general pest control. The Taurus SC Termiticide product label only allows indoor applications to wall voids (behind sheet rock), unfinished attics, unfinished basements, and crawlspaces for active termite infestations.  Taurus SC Termiticide could be harmful if used indoors and would be in violation of the product label.

    You can use the companion product Phantom Insecticide for ants indoors.

  • Asked by Tony from Harvey, La
    10/25/2018
    Q
    How do I apply Taurus SC Termiticide to a home that's on concrete blocks?
    A

    We recommend that you trench and drill around the structure when applying Taurus SC Termiticide . Please refer to our Termite Treatment Article/Video for more detailed application instructions. It is very important to trench each side of the hollow blocks, even more important than drilling into each block to inject the Taurus SC Termiticide  solution. The problem is that the termites will be still be able to build tubes on the outer areas of the blocks and still access your home. Your treatments will be far more successful if you trench and treat on either side of the hollow block. Bora-Care can be applied 90 days after the Taurus SC Termiticide  application for treatment of the raw wood.

  • Asked by Tony from Chesapeake, Va
    11/01/2018
    Q
    I have a new home next to some woods that have termite infested trees. Can I spray the woods with Taurus SC?
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide cannot be used to just spray woods for termites and there really isn’t much you can do for them there.  They are natures recyclers so should be left alone in that area.  We would recommend trenching around your home with the product so that it is protected.  We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.

  • Asked by Lara from Huntsville, Al
    11/02/2018
    Q
    How long does an application Taurus SC Termiticide last?
    Would we need to treat every year or would it last up to 10 years?
    A

    The residual for Taurus SC Termiticide will depend on which application method you are using.  If you are doing a trenching application, it will last in the soil for up to 10 years. If using as a perimter spray (1 foot up the siding, 1 foot out into the soil all the way around the perimeter, along with around entry points like doors and windows), it will last about 6 months.

    Q
    Can you still power wash outside of home etc after trenching home with Taurus?

  • Asked by Anderson from Montgomery, Al
    12/13/2018
    Q
    Will a trenching application with Taurus SC substitute for monthly treatments for other insects?
    I do a monthly treatment with Demand CS, mainly for spiders. If I do the full termite treatment, will I be protected from other insects for 10 years or will I still need to do the demand cs treatment every month (outdoors).
    A

    No, Taurus SC will not be a substitute for monthly treatments. When you trench around the perimeter of your home for a termite treatment, that treatment will last up to 10 years and will work with termites because they don't travel above the soil. You may do quarterly treatments with Taurus SC at a rate of 0.4 oz per gallon of water, 1-2 feet up on the foundation and 1-2 feet out on the ground. Otherwise, you can continue to treat with Demand CS. If you've continually used Demand CS, once you've run out, you can rotate to something like Onslaught FastCap.

  • Asked by Shannon from San Antonio, Texas
    12/16/2018
    Q
    Is treating the soil with Taurus SC before new home construction as effective as making the trench around the perimeter of the home?
    A

    Yes, treating the soil before the slab is poured is going to protect your home for 10 years. Doing a pre-construction treatment ensures that termites will not make their way up through settling gaps, cracks, or spaces in the foundation. It is recommended that even with doing a pre-construction application of Taurus SC Termiticide that a 6 x 6 trench is still done around the perimeter of the foundation.
