    Q
    What is the best outdoor ant spray?
    These are just the common ants and every year we get several invasions. We can control the inside with bait stations but need something safe for animals for outside.
    A

    Our most popular spray for ant control outdoors around structurers is Taurus SC. This is a liquid concentrate that you would apply with a hand pump sprayer and treat all around the foundation of the structure, treating 1 foot up onto the house and 1 foot out from it on the ground. You should also spot treat places where the ants are likely to enter such as door frames, window frames, and where utilities enter. Taurus SC is pet safe once the application is dry. You can learn more tips and see videos in our Ant Treatment Guide, too.

    Q
    Is Taurus SC Termiticide good to spray on wood decks as a preventative?
    I have a large wood deck that I'd like to treat. We found some termites and I want to make sure they don't make it onto the deck and then in the house.
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide works great as a termite preventative in soil.  We would recommend applying Boracare as a wood treatment prior to sealing or painting. Please see our Termite Guide for the most up to date tips for termite treatment and prevention.

    Q
    Is is okay to apply Dominion 2L on top of Taurus SC?
    I've applied Taurus SC with the trench method, then backfilled and then applied 1 gallon of Taurus on top of the backfill every 10 feet. I feel like that wasn't enough and was curious if it's okay to apply Dominion 2L onto the top soil for more saturation.
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide is really the superior product between it and the Dominion.  If you applied as directed and treated the soil well in the area you would not need to go over with Dominion.  If the soil was not wet enough after applying 4 gallons over 10 lineal feet, you can go back with a mix of the Taurus to make sure the soil was treated properly.

    Q
    Can Taurus SC be used to kill stink bugs?
    I have a left over bottle of Taurus SC. I usually spray screens and around windows.
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide can only be sprayed 1 ft up and 1 ft out directly up against the foundation of the structure twice a year at 0.8 fl oz per gallon. It is not the product recommended for stinkbug treatments. Please check out our Overwintering Kit and Stinkbug Control Article for more helpful information on a successful eradication.

    Q
    Should I apply Taurus SC both under the house and outside the foundation?
    I have a hillside home and have dirt both under the house and outside the foundation. I have detected formosan termites.
    A

    Taurus SC is labeled for Formosan termites. It is recommended that you do a trench treatment around the structure. If you have seen activity in specific areas, it is safe to inject the product in the wood. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Formosan Termites for a successful eradication program.

  • Asked by Steve from Liberty, Ms
    10/10/2017
    Q
    On new construction with concrete piers, can I treat all the ground or just around the piers with Taurus SC?
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide can be applied prior to pouring concrete slabs, etc. You can trench each individual pier as well for termite prevention.  It is very important to apply more around the perimeter edges of the slab, around plumbing pipes that will come through the slab, and along expansion joints if you know where they will be.  Since these are the more likely entry points of termites you want to make sure you treat more heavily around these areas.  You should take general precautions when applying any product which would be to wear gloves, protect your eyes if it is windy, and treat only in the designated area where your slab will be poured.

  • Asked by Mw from Murfreesboro, Tn
    03/26/2018
    Q
    Can you spray Taurus SC early in the spring prior to ants coming out?
    Or is it more effective to wait until they begin to come out? We usually have ant trails in our yard during the summer, and some get inside (but bait traps have been effective for inside in previous years). What is the best, most cost-effective strategy to not have ants inside or out this summer? Taurus for the perimeter? Granules for the lawn too? Phantom aerosol for inside just in case?
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide can be applied around the structure when it is not raining as a perimeter spray for ants. If you have ants in the lawn or inside the structure, we would advise using the other items in our Outdoor/indoor Ant Kit. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Ants for a successful eradication program. Phantom aerosol can be applied to interior crevices monthly. We do offer insecticide and bait granules for the lawn as well.

    I applied Taurus SC prior to ants emerging in the spring. Will the Taurus SC Termiticide still work once they become active or will I need to reapply?

  • Asked by Jen from Charlotte, Nc
    05/21/2018
    Q
    If I can't access the entire perimeter of my house can I just treat the crawl space and piers?
    I have a brick patio that buts up to the back of my house and the only way I would be able to trench this area is by removing part of my patio. Can I just treat the interior perimeter and the piers? I also have an attached garage on a slab, should I also trench around this if treating the interior perimeter of the crawl space and the piers only is an option?
    A

    When you have any concrete against the home (such as a patio or garage that shares walls with inside rooms) that prevents you from trenching across it, you have to drill holes ever 12 inches apart and treat each hole with roughly 1/2 to 1 gallon of mixed solution. Each hole should be drilled with a bit that is roughly 1/2 wide and 18 inches long. Please review the Taurus SC Product Label and our article How To Do A Termite Treatment for all the proper techniques for a home owner to treat this area.  If drilling is not an option you would at least trench around the non concrete walls and around the piers in the crawl space. For inside walls of the crawl space this is usually only done when you have an active infestation but you can do for just prevention if you choose.

    Q
    How big of a house will the 78 oz treat or how many houses
    A

    You will want to measure the lineal feet around the exterior of the structure for the amount of Taurus SC Termiticide that you will need. It is not measured in square footage for these barrier applications. A 78 oz bottle of Taurus SC Termiticide will treat 240 lineal feet (makes 100 gallons of solution).

    Q
    I am using Onslaught with wet cat food. Will Taurus work like Onslaught to kill the nests and do I mix it at the same bait to insecticide ratio?
    A

    The Taurus SC Termiticide is labeled for yellow jackets and can be sprayed in eaves and around openings to help eliminate them, but we cannot recommend to use the Tuarus SC Termiticide on cat food as you would the Onslaught as it would be off the product label.

  • Asked by Bryan from Albuquerque, Nm
    08/30/2018
    Q
    Why is it that fipronil sprays like Fuse and Taurus can't be used indoors?
    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.  We would recommend using Phantom indoors as an alternative.

    Q
    Can I use Taurus SC in the lawn for ants?
    How many gallons of water and How many ounces of Taurus SC should be mixed for an acre of land for ants
    A

    Taurus SC is not labeled for lawn use or any use away from the structure.  You would need to apply around the perimeter of the structure, one foot up and one foot away.  You would mix at the same dilution ratio .8 oz per gallon per 1,000 sqft and treat once every 6 months.

    Q
    Is Taurus SC the best spray to use around the exterior of my home to treat for Carpenter Ants? What bait should I use indoors?
    A

    Yes, Taurus SC is a great option for treating the foundation around the exterior of the home for carpenter ants. For complete indoor control of Carpenter Ants, we would suggest the Indoor Carpenter Ant Kit that comes with Temprid Ready Spray for along the baseboards, a sweet bait and protein bait.
