  • Asked by Mw from Murfreesboro, Tn

    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.

  • 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.

  • Asked by Randall from Johnson City, Tn
    07/22/2018
    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.

  • Asked by Jennifer from Terre Haute, In
    03/30/2019
    Q
    I have septic rock 1.5' deep & wide around home. Do I have to remove it all to trench treat for termites using Taurus?
    A

    Taurus SC does not bond to rock, it bonds to soil, so if the area right up against the foundation is not soil, Taurus SC will not stick to it and it will leave you with that area of completely unprotected surface that the termites could pass through to get directly to your home. While you can do the trench just outside of this rock area, it would still leave the area under the rock closer to the foundation unprotected.  If you are able to remove the rock  against the foundation and treat several inches of the soil there that would be best and then you can do the more complete trench around the rock once backfilled in.
