Customer Reviews for Taurus SC Termiticide

I have recently purchased a house and fumigated it as part of the process but I found sub-terrain, dry wood termites in the parts that are not part of the tent. While doing research I found this product. I used it, I have noticed termites getting killed. It might take a while for me to understand how effective it is over a period of time. Based on my first impression it is working as expected.

I have been using Taurus SC, twice a year for about a decade. Our area has a terrible problem with voracious carpenter ants, but we have had NO problems since I started the perimeter trearments. The user must understand that this is NOT a knockdown treatment; rather, it will take several weeks after the first .06% surface exterior perimeter treatment, according to instructions, for the colonies to be killed. After that, semiannual .03% surface perimeter treatments will prevent any further infestations. Residual remains in the soil and on the foundation walls and wood products for up to six months, so extra treatments are not needed for carpenter ants. Caution: Fipronil is quite toxic, so pets must be kept away from the treated areas. Also, take much care to avoid getting any overspray on yourself or your clothes: promptly launder your clothes and wash your hands/body thoroughly immediately after any accidental contact. And, of course, absolutely do NOT use in windy conditions. Also note that carpenter ant treatments are for surface soil, foundation walls, and wood (furniture bases, railroad ties, tree bases). Trenching is NOT necessary (unlike it is necessary for termite treatments).

Works great and last, I used it five years ago. Here in southern Arizona, there are two types of homes those with termites and those that are getting termites. I've used both the high dollar stuff and this found no difference.

Easy to mix with the built in measure in the neck of the container. Directions are easy to follow but I called the DoMyOwn help desk before spraying it on. After the spray dried there was no sign of any residue on the surfaces. There was enough Taurus SC left for at least one more application in the spring. I have not seen any further ant activity since the treatment.

My project is about 300-350 linear footage, so I bought one 20 oz plus another 78 oz. The order and delivery process of both items were smooth. I used up the small bottle and about 50% of the large so far. It's not possible to comment on the effectiveness of the product at this momont. The 0.8 oz measuring mark on small 20 oz bottole is very user freiendly. You just need to tight both lids and tilt the bottle to fill that funnel shape cavity and put the bottle leveled on table top, it will give you a accurate 0.8 oz, then unscrew the side lid to pure out to bucket. You just need to do it once for 1 Gal sprayer or 4 times for 4G to treat 10 linear feet. However, the same 0.8 oz mark on bigger 78 oz bottle is basically useless. It's very hard or almost impossible to fill to that mark practically. So, I was eventually transferring about 20 oz product from big to the small bottle to enable me to use that measuring cup. I would suggest the manufacturer to add another measuring mark on bigger 78 oz bottle which indicate how much it will be if you fill the whole funnel cavity. I guess it could be 3.2 oz, which wil be perfect for a 4G finished liquid.

The product worked great. But the 2 bottles I ordered were placed in one box, with no other packaging. I received a box covered in pesticide. With the nature of these chemicals, I would assume better packaging is required. But, the product works great.

This stuff is incredible!! I have had a really bad ant problem for years. None of the Home Depot stuff ever worked. I like to sit on the porch in the mornings and have coffee. I kept getting ants crawling all over my shoes and legs any time I sat on the porch. I googled what really works and found Taurus SC. I applied this to my lawn and foundation the way the instructions say and I figured it would take a while to see results. The next morning I couldn't find an ant anywhere!! I have also noticed that the spiders are gone too. And the best part is this stuff kills termites too. This will be my go to product for controlling ants and termites from now on.

Although it rains a lot around here so they came back about a year later. Sprayed those an now all clear. Fast working, unsmellable by termites So they take poison back to colony ask kill the whole thing. Really works great.

What I like about Taurus SC is that it’s a cost effective product comparable to Termidor SC a well known Termiticide and Insecticide but almost double the price compared to Taurus SC, great product!!

Called my exterminator and they wanted $500 to do the preventive borrowing termite treatment. Ordered the Taurus SC, did the small trench at the house base, mixed per instructions and poured. 2-3 hours work to save $400 seemed worth while.

Taurus SC Termiticide was outstanding in performance by eleminating the Ant problem around in my house, large workshop, and property of my acre of land, after 36 hours of applying. After the sprayed application had dried, in was not harmful to my small dogs.

Product works great! I was using for ants in & around the back yard. The ants are gone & haven't seen any other pests coming around since application. It hasn't messed with the lizards or frogs either. I also sprayed some plants & trees that had some spider mites on them & they also were eliminated. Very easy directions, just mix & spray.

The only thing that would make it better is if it was cheaper. It takes a lot of product to perimeter a house!

This product is the active ingredient in Frontline and I dilute it to spray on my horses. It works GREAT to control ticks and is SO much less expensive.

Last year in the northwest, it was one of the worst years ever for wasps and hornets. This spring as soon as the temps came up we noticed that the wasps and hornets were starting to be a problem again. After some research on-line I discovered that products with Fipronil can be quite effective. After one complete application around my property and buildings I have not seen any wasps or hornets since. I'm sure that once it gets hot we will see more but I'm betting this product will knock them down again.
