Yes, grass can be planted in an area where Taurus SC Termiticide was applied once the product has dried.
Taurus SC and Permetherin SFR cannot be mixed together.

More than two applications of Taurus SC per calendar year can be made only if applied according to one of the following frequency and dilution rate application scenarios. DO NOT exceed the specified number of applications per calendar year.
The use directions include up to four (4) applications per year at the 0.03% dilution rate for outside surfaces and along the foundation perimeter of listed structures.

Taurus SC should not harm plants if used as directed. Keep in mind that it is only labeled for use no further than 1 foot up and 1 foot out around a structure.
Taurus SC Termiticide cannot be used in the lawn or on mounds, only within 1 foot of the foundation of a structure.
Taurus SC Termiticide can be used for general pest control of various insects including ants and would only need to be sprayed around the foundation of a structure one foot up and one foot out around the perimeter. No trenching is required unless treating for subterranean termites.
We recommend that you clean and/or steam surfaces that were mistakenly treated as Taurus SC Termiticide is outdoor application only.
Yes! You can use either Taurus SC or Termidor SC in sandy soils, too. If you are located very close to the water and expect to get water under the home throughout the year, then you may need to consider using a Termite Baiting System instead of liquid ground treatment.
Taurus SC Termiticide can be applied directly into gallery entrance holes for carpenter bees only. After application, gallery entrance holes should be plugged. It is not labeled for any other type of bees since it cannot be used on plants or around the yard.
Taurus SC is not labeled for fleas. Fleas tend to live in moist shady areas out in the yard where pets or other animals spend a lot of time resting. Taurus SC however is only labeled to be used in very limited areas on or immediately next to the house or structure making it mostly ineffective for flea treatments. We recommend you use our Outdoor Flea & Tick Kit to get rid of fleas in and around your home.
Taurus SC Termiticide is generally used to treat the soil underneath a drain. We would not suggest pouring it down the actual drain. It can be applied in a wall void indoors if they know exactly where the infestation is.
It is not necessary to trench when using Taurus SC Termiticide for ant control. For outdoor control of ants and other perimeter pests, mix 0.8 fl. oz. of Taurus SC per gallon of water and apply using a hand-pump sprayer around the outside of the home, spraying 1 foot up the side of the house and 1 foot out from the house, all the way around the home. Also spray around any exterior openings where pests may enter such as doors (don't spray near door handles), windows, pipes, cracks, vents, holes, etc. Also, be careful to prune away vegetation including shrubs and tree branches that may be touching the side of the house. This will keep pests from using shrubs and tree branches to bypass the protective barrier you sprayed.
Taurus SC Termiticide can be used for carpenter bees in localized areas. The mixing rate is 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water. This can be done twice a year at this rate.
Taurus SC Termiticide can be applied with a foaming agent in a foam applicator for wall void applications as indicated on the product label only.
Taurus SC Termiticide is a restrive product in general in regards to where, when, and how often it can be applied even in states outside of California. Per the state and EPA, it cannot be applied in California between November 1 and February 28 per the label, and the label is the law. In general, November-February are considered winter months that no insecticides would normally be recommended for as this is not an active pest season or time of year. When registering the Taurus label and use in California, they made sure to specify to not use during these times of year to further reduce any unneccesary applications of the chemical.
Taurus SC Termiticide could only be used as an exterior treatment for roaches, earwigs and black widows and cannot be used indoors. It is not a knockdown kill. For 6 month residual, you will mix at 0.8 fl oz per gallon and for quarterly treatments, you will apply at 0.4 fl oz per gallon. Spray 1 ft to 2 ft up and 1 ft out around doors, windows, vents, pipes, foundation cracks, drilled holes or around any exterior openings where listed pests could enter the structure. Make sure to treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, aluminium or other similar materials) meets the cement, brick or block foundation.
Indoors, we would suggest using Temprid FX along baseboards, floorboards, around windows, doors, behind appliances, under cabinets, behind toilets, in closets, etc.
