  • Asked by Tom from Florida

    Q
    What product is better to treat for Drywood Termites and Carpenter Ants in my attic, Taurus SC or Bora Care ?
    I can spot some infestations but can spray a larger area if it would help. Hard to reach all of the wood because of fiberglass batts.
    A

    For treating an attic the best product to use would be the Boracare. It can be mixed with water and applied with a paint brush or a pump sprayer directly to any raw wood surface you have access to in the attic. The Boracare will soak into the wood and dry and last for the life of the wood. For hard…

    Q
    Do I have to use a sprayer to apply Taurus SC if my termites are in a tree stump in the yard?
    Can I mix it with water and bucket and dump the mixture on the tree stump?
    A

    Yes, Taurus SC does need to be applied directly to the tree with a sprayer since this is more controlled than just pouring solution into the tree stump.

    Q
    Why can't Taurus SC be used indoors?
    Like a crack and crevice application?
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide is only labeled to be used as an outdoor application, and also only up against a structure as well. It can be used indoors for spot treatments only for termite activity, but other than that the product is just not labeled to be used in that manner.

    Does your company sell a funnel that I could use when I drill the holes in the concrete to apply Taurus SC?

    Q
    I have ants invading my paver deck around my swimming pool, can I spray Taurus SC around it?
    Would you recommend this product to treat my paver deck? How should I apply it, such as perimeter treatment, or blanket treatment over entire deck etc.?
    A

    Taurus SC can be sprayed around a structure, so you can spray around the "perimeter" of the pool, if it's above ground. Also, you can spray around the perimeter of your home but it can't be sprayed as a broadcast application. If you want to use something that can be broadcasted unto your tur…

    Q
    Does Taurus SC harm honey bees or other good bees so to speak?
    I don't want to harm the bees we need for pollination.
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide can harm honey bees and other bees if they contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose or if sprayed during application.  To avoid this you can apply early in the morning or later in the evening when they are less active and less likely to be in the area.
