California Velvety Tree Ants
By Kathy on 07/22/2017
I already wrote 1 review for Taurus SC with fipronil @ 9.1% in June, and how amazed and happy I was with the results. After many years of fighting and researching how to deal with the velvety tree ant, in desperation, I ordered Taurus SC online. What I didn't mention in my 1st review, were the many things I did try before that. I've made my own ant bait, both with Borax, and boric acid, which are not the same, and for which I got confusing recipes online. None worked regardless. I banded my trees, oaks, elm, sapota, and coated the banding with Tanglefoot, as over the years these ants had invaded most of the trees surrounding my house. They especially liked the elm, where they tickled the scale for honey-dew. I sprayed permethrin, mixed myself, in desperation when hot spells made these ants swarm, even trying to enter my house. I also tried Terro ant bait liquid, which began to help, but which dried out in hot weather & after which the ants wouldn't touch! Plus as many bait stations as I needed, it was totally cost prohibitive! I think it's been almost 2 months since I sprayed Taurus SC, at 0.06% fipronil, around the base of my oak trees, and other affected trees, and into the dead wood cavities I could reach in mostly oak trees. I sprayed a few 'trails' these ants have used for decades, but close to where I suspected their nests were, not wanting them to have to travel any further from home, to track it back to the colony. I am still blown away, at the lack of ANY ants since using it! And remember, these ants BITE! A few days after using Taurus SC, I found piles of dead ants at the base of oak trees that harbored colonies! A few weeks later, poking a stick into the tree cavities, I saw just a few juvenile ants straggling around, and gave the site one more squirt, and that's been it. I can sit under the elm and oak tree in my front yard now, without these aggressive ants biting my feet and legs, and crawling all over everything! Don't have to worry about my Grandchildren being bitten, or friends and family! And the last year or so, I swear they were beginning to nest in the natural stone walls that my property was terraced with, which scared the crap out of me, knowing they were expanding via satellite colonies! Oh, I also ordered a jug of Maxforce Complete, with hydramethylnon 1% granulated ant bait, as a 'back-up' solution, because the velvety tree ant is fickle about bait, and this had sweet and protein included. But, I haven't had to use it! So, I am one happy customer!!!

It's working
By Dave on 10/08/2014
I periodically check the base of my house for termite "tubes". When I noticed a few I decided to take action myself. I removed the tubes while I waited for my order of Taurus SC. Two more appeared before the product arrived. I again removed them and applied Taurus SC per instructions on this web site when I received my order. I have again been inspecting for a couple of weeks and see NO new activity.

Taurus
By Mike on 03/14/2016
Saved me a lot of money
By Scott on 10/24/2016
This is the same termiticide the professionals use in the area were I live. The pros wanted $ 2000.00 to treat my house. It took me two days, one sore back, and $ 200.00 worth of Taurus SC. Thank you for providing a product which gives those like me an option.

Quality Product
By Cici on 02/12/2017
We ordered it because of a YouTube video recommendation. The check out was easy and shipping was fast. After following directions from the video, the results was astonishing! We quickly saw how many termites were being killed. I would recommend this to any home owner.

termiticide
By James on 05/21/2017
After receiving my order, I mixed a gallon of water and the correct amount of Taurus sc termiticide. I sprayed around the outside of my home. The results were unbelievable! Almost no insects got inside. If they did they were barely moving and died.

Sprayed for crazy ants

Fighting fireants
By Donnie on 03/16/2018
I was tired of treating individual fire ant mounds with product from Lowes only to see them pop up a few yards away. Decided to purchased the Taurus SC after some research. I used a riding mower and pull behind sprayer containing 25 gal of water and 20 oz of Taurus SC on 1/2 acre. That was three weeks ago and I have not seen a fire ant or any kind of crawling creature since. Time will tell, but so far so good. Product was delivered very fast with no issues.

Good-bye Mr. and Mrs. Termite...........
By Coondaddy on 05/05/2018
The Taurus SC Termiticide worked like a champ! As I was applying it around my cabin, I could hear the little buggers screaming for mercy. Also, just wanted to say a really big thanx to DoMyOwn. Their customer service is above and beyond, faster than a speeding bullet on the shipping also. I WILL be doing business with you good folks again in the future.

Great Cost Effective Alternative to Termidor SC
By Mo on 06/10/2018
I've been a fan and been using Termidor SC for the past 8 yrs. Termidor SC is the original product that can be used against Termites, insects, ants, etc. However the Termidor SC price has increased so i took the plunge and purchased its exact rival the Taurus SC. The Taurus SC was just as easy to use, just as effective and less expensive than the Termidor SC. If prices remain the same, i will continue to purchase the Taurus SC product.

You can do this!
By Tony on 03/19/2022
I saved big money doing this myself. At 62 it took me two days to trench & termite proof my home. Having no help, I used a shovel to break up the soil & a garden hoe to trench. If I could do this, you can too & have the comfort not to worry of termite infestation for a very long time! This company gives you all the instructions, more videos than you care to watch & the self-confidence to get it done!

Taurus Sc is Great!
By Michael on 06/11/2014
Frist time to use it for Ants.It's great like Termidor Sc .After sprayed ,it makes sense to control them there.and can be applied above ground to the exterior foundation walls of your house, creating a treated area of protection for excellent ant control.

By S on 06/21/2014
Company was great to work with. Received order fast , price was lowest I could find on the web. I used back pack sprayer to cover all of the under floor area. Then I covered treated ground with heavy plastic and used boric acid on top before installing subfloor . Thanks for the help

Taurus SC
By Mike on 09/17/2014
I've been battling ants for years. Finally was referred to your website and my friend recommended using Taurus SC. Absolutely the best product on the market. The next day after I sprayed, I couldn't find a ant anywhere on my property. Best money I ever spent.

Pretty impressive; Price and results
By R. on 11/25/2014
After I got over the hurdle of trying to pour honey through a straw, (the measuring spout is useless) I sacrificed an old measuring cup, marked it and didn't look back. The U-Tube "How to video" makes it easy. The sales lady helped me figure I had 3, 78oz. bottles of treatment area. Some elbow length rubber gloves, a respirator and we were done with the treatment in a couple hours. Trenching's where all the work is, roll your sleeves up for that part if you do it right but, I saved $7800.

killed our termites
By Linda on 06/03/2016
my husband dug a 6"x6" trench around the house, poured this in it as directed. he bought a rotary hammer drill at harbor freight and used it to drill in the concrete patio by the house and poured the poison in using a funnel. within 2 days, the termites were killed. saved a lot of money doing this instead of calling termite company.

Effective Termite Control
By Sonny on 07/09/2016
Completely eliminate all termite activity and even took care of a couple of serpents. Two weeks after the application I found two large diamondback rattle snakes that had been living around the foundation of my home. They were deader than hammers! I highly recommend this product.

Great on Crazy Ants
By Stephen on 08/23/2016
Live in Texas where crazy ants take over mid summer. Spray this around my house and kills millions within days. The only product I know to kill crazy ants as other ant poisons are ineffective. Residual keeps working for at least a month.

Good stuff for any pest
By Mark on 09/11/2016
Used this stuff for crazy ants but it worked on a lot more then the ants. It's not a knock down poison so it want look like it's working at first but when they get it on them it's carriered all the way back to we're they live. Then it goes to works on all of them. I recommend this to any one DIY person.
