Customer Reviews for Taurus SC Termiticide

We had a pretty big ant problem, Argentinian & Big Head ants. This really worked and got the ants under control. Great product and even eliminated all the other "pests" that were occasionally seen in the home. Recommend highly.

So far did 14 ft of 260. Watched a few YT videos before starting. One YouTuber mentioned not only following the instructions with trenching and filling 10 ft with 4 gallons of solution, but he stated he contacted the company for extra pro tips. The company mentioned pouring a 1/2 concentrated solution over the back fill as opposed to spraying the dirt with a pump sprayer. Liked it and copied the recommendation. I figure better safe than sorry, and I would rather pay a little more in the beginning than a lot more if I get attacked. I think the easiest part of the job is going to be the concrete holes. I just wish I had a high pressure pump to DIY the job. Not sure what a pest control company would charge if all the holes were ready to go, and they just come in and pump in the fipronil. I am unsure, so far, how I am going to tackle the sloped foundation, but most likely will do it in small sections. One of the reasons for the DIY project is because I really would like this done right and not some quick slap job as I fear it could be, and running me thousands of dollars for it. Well that is my take on it. Hopefully the toxic moat that I laid down will prevent any infestations for the next 10 years. We shall see.

Two or three different types of ants had suddenly invaded my kitchen and bathroom, so I ordered this based on everyone's reviews, for which I thank you all. I sprayed this solution as suggested around the entire perimeter of my house. I only used 2 gallons of mixture to do the entire job, so I have plenty left. I did not spray anywhere inside my house. Haven't seen a single ant since the day after I sprayed, and it's been two weeks.

It is an effective termite terminator. It is at good price and was shipped promptly. It is not so easy to take .8 oz of the product each time by squeezing the container. Recommend this product to others.

Besides doing the work yourself could be better.

I use Taurus SC Termicide at the base of the house along with Bifen granules in a 10 foot spread around the foundation into the shrubs and lawn. Applied every 4 months and within 6 months or so, all signs of ants in the house were gone.

Product is as advertised and was delivered quickly. The manufacturers instructions are a little confusing for application based on pre or post construction, foundation type, ect. Instructions are for a ten foot trench but make sure to create little earth dams every few feet so all the product doesn't flow one end.

Have dry wood termites in a wood tie landscape wall last month ( May ) they were swarming from the seams in the wall. I went on the DoMyOwn website and reviewed the instructional video and it looked like a relatively simple project so I ordered it. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly it arrived. As soon as it arrived I dug the trench and followed the application instructions ( of course the termite swarming had stopped by then ) easy job. I would have given 5 stars but I really won't know how good it has worked until some time goes by but so far all is well. Thanks

very easy to use, instructions clear enough. It's only been about a month since I've applied it, no signs of termites or ants so far and I was extremely infested before. I'm still keeping an eye out, kind of early to really say other than so far so good for now. either way it's worth a try rather than pay hundreds and hundreds for a "professional" to do the same thing I did in about an hour or 2. Only gave 4 stars because of the time so far.

In my case I was just supplementing a recent termite barrier treatment I had done by a commercial co. I recently painted my house and used a lot of water while pressure washing so I wasn't sure if I disturbed the barrier. The only complaint I had was that even though I carefully measured and mixed the chemical with water, I came up a few ounces short.

Dug trench around house, applied termicide for ants and termite barrier. At this point I really don't know about total effectiveness yet, so that's why only a 4 star rating. Looks good so far. Seen no bugs. Soon will be 5 star.

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

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 bought this to kill fire ants in South Texas. It seems to have done the job.

Works good on termites and is 1/3 less expensive that Termidor for the same amount of chemical. Kills fire ants also. Wish I had bought the 78 ounce size rather than the 20 ounce container.

I trench the perimeter of the home and drilled 1/2 inch holes in attached slabs to complete the perimeter treatment for termites. Too soon to make a determination about termites (2 weeks). It appears to have eliminated the roaches, silverfish and ants.

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.

I would still need to see how it works out. Once I see the termites are gone I can give a better rating. So far so good.

Only time will tell...Getting cold here in Myrtle Beach and the critters are looking for a warm home to invade so we'll have to see how this product works. Easy to apply and prevents most of the pests in the south from getting in.

The product is very good. I have used it in the past. The only issue i had was the box was damaged and some of the liquid had leaked out. I only lost a little bit but this product is expensive and every drop counts.
