    Q
    Crawl space treatment
    We have a crawl space under our house. I learned from your website, how to do the trenching-treatment around the house. How do you treat the crawl space. We have house sitting on concrete blocks.
    A
    For a termite treatment, you will want to trench around and treat the soil surrounding any part of your home that touches the ground. This mens that you would treat the crawlspace area the same as you would around the exterior of your home. Dig a 6x6 inch deep trench around any post or cinder blocks in the crawlspace and pour the Taurus SC mixture into that soil.

  • Asked by Kyle from Madison, Ms
    08/06/2013
    Q
    Can I mix Suspend SC and Taurus SC in the same spray apparatus so that I can put out at one time.
    A
    Taurus SC is a non-repellent insecticide. This means that ants and other insects cannot tell that it is there and they will readily walk over treated areas. Taurus SC also has a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect which allows the ants time to get back to the colony and spread it around before they succumb to the effects of the product. Suspend SC on the other hand is synthetic pyrethroid which many sensitive insects such as ants can detect. Ants may avoid the areas treated with Suspend and those ants that do cross over treated areas are the only ones that will be killed by the product. Suspend does not have a transfer effect so it will not be transferred back to the colony. While the Taurus SC will not actually be deactivated by Suspend, it will be much less effective if it is sprayed with Suspend.

  • Asked by Kathy from Houston, Tx
    04/08/2013
    Q
    Is Taurus SC as effective on termites as it is on ants?
    I just came across termites in the garage which is connected to the house. I NEED to know that this product will absolutely lambaste these critters!!! I've read rave reviews about ants...can I look for the same with termites? HELP, PLEASE!!!!
    A
    Fipronil, the active ingredient in Taurus, is known to be the best product on the market for termite control. Be sure to read the product label to make sure you are doing the treatment correctly. Our instructions, How to do a Termite Treatment can also be very helpful for homeowners.

  • Asked by Matthew from Gilbert Az.
    02/10/2013
    Q
    Will Taurus SC control scorpions?
    A
    While Taurus SC may actually kill scorpions that cross over treated areas we do not recommend it for scorpion control because it can take many days for insects to die after crossing over treated areas. Instead you should consider using Cy-Kick CS or Demon WP which will stay up on porous treated surfaces a bit better and will offer a much faster kill.

    Q
    What is the difference between Taurus SC and Termidor SC?
    A
    Taurus SC is the generic version of Termidor SC. They both share the same active ingredient at the same concentration and pretty much the same label. The main difference is the manufacturer.

  • Asked by Brett
    07/18/2011
    Q
    Is Taurus the best ant control for lawns?
    A
    Taurus is a great product for ant control but it can only be used on or within one foot of a structure. You cannot use Taurus out in the lawn as this type of treatment is prohibited by the Taurus product label. We do have a wide variety of ant bait granules and insecticides that you can use out in the lawn to control ants. You can find these products by going to our Ant Control Page.
