Product Overview

Termidor FOAM contains Fipronil, the same active ingredient as Termidor SC, in a RTU (ready-to-use) foam that is labeled for termites and ants. Perfect for spot treatments, Termidor FOAM expands rapidly creating a dry foam that can be applied in the voids, harborages, galleries, and nests where insects are found. The foam generated has an expansion ratio of 30:1. In about 5 seconds 1 oz. of product becomes approximately 1 quart of foam.

Termidor FOAM can be applied in and around residential and commercial structures; structural and non-structural elements that are prone to insect attack (such as fences, utility poles, landscape timbers, bridges, or under slabs); or insect harborages. This product can be applied from the interior and/or the exterior according to label directions. To access some harborages the drilling of holes may be required.

Termidor FOAM helps to fulifill the Localized Interior (LI) component of a Exterior Perimeter/Localized Interior (EP/LI) treatment (also known as PerimeterPLUS).

How to do a Termite Treatment

Termidor product features:

Advanced undetectable technology

Termidor is made from a revolutionary new nonrepellent or "undetectable" chemical technology treatment. That means termites cannot see, smell, taste, or avoid Termidor. Instead they contact, ingest, and share it with their nestmates. This is in sharp contrast to older liquid termite controls, which rely on repellent barriers that termites can find breaks in or avoid completely.

The "Transfer Effect"

Termites who contact Termidor transfer it to every other termite they in turn contact, in a unique process called the "Transfer Effect." And because Termidor is engineered to be slow-acting, termites have ample time to spread it throughout their entire termite population.

Better than bait... without the wait

Baits can take years to control a termite colony. Termidor begins working immediately to wipe out termites inside and immediately surrounding your home. Termidor is the most effective and fastest at completely eliminating termite populations--up to six-times faster than bait.

    TERMIDOR FOAM

    By Roscoe on 03/02/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I had never heard of termidor foam and had reservations as to it's value. Folks, it works. We made a small hole in the driwall between each wall stud and pierced a hole in the insulation so that I could spray the foam into the airspace. Then inserted the tube through the hole and gave it a squirt. The foam expanded and the termites that I could see began dying. After a couple days, there was no more signs of infestation.

    Worked!

    Verified Purchase

    I found their pencil hole entry and drilled it bigger. Then I put on gloves and put the foam in. It was easy and no more coffee grounds! A week later I found another area nearby with drywood termites. I did the same thing. It has been a few weeks and no more coffee grounds anywhere. This works!

    Amazing product!!!

    By Diane on 06/18/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I had a localized carpenter ant nest in a fully enclosed wall. The nest activity spanned a 4x5 foot area. After freaking out and receiving ridiculous exterminator quotes, I did some online research. I learned that the active ingredient in Termidor Foam, fipronil, is a safe and extremely effective chemical that works by direct and indirect contact. Even though the walls had fiberglass insulation, I was able to drill near the studs, and insert this foam into the voids. I only used one can for the the job. I saw results within 12 hours, and the problem was fully resolved within three days. I am thrilled with the effectiveness of this product, and am pretty excited that I was able to save $450+ by tacking this project on my own. Thank you for offering pro-quality pest control products to homeowners at very reasonable prices.

    This product works great . I used it just as spring was approching the end of February to spot treat troubled infested areas from the past YEARS and in two weeks the termites began to appear . Only this time they were approximately less than 1/10 the amount flying out as there were last year I was extremely pleased!!!! You have no idea what a relief that was now I will treat the barrier around my home. And hope it works the rest of the way to destroy those annoying chewers thanks!

Q
Ordered foam but no metal tips were included, only a black rubber tip on can

Treating termites in kitchen cabinets, is there a time period I need to wait so it is safe to put drawers and dishes back in cabinets??

A

Termidor Foam does not come with any metal tips. It only comes with the plastic tip on the end of the tube attachment.

Termidor Foam is not labeled to be used in kitchen cabinets per the manufacturer. It should only be used in wall voids.

Q
Can we use Termidor FOAM as a regular spray or we have always to make holes and use the tip?

Termidor FOAM is only used when you are directly spot treating active infestations, this would involve drilling right into the infested wood and using the tip to inject.

Q
How to use if I see mud piles inside home

Piles at the top of windows near ceiling do I spray from floor up or from ceiling down

A
If there is no insulation in the wall then there's not many reasons for them to be in that wall void as the insulation would provide an area to nest. They may travel behind the wall voids but the main nest will not be behind it. They will most likely be using the studs as a food source and traveling up the sides of the studs. You will not foam the entire void, rather you will drill a hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel. If you are seeing them along the baseboard areas, drill holes every 8-10 inches apart across the area between studs, about an inch or 2 above the baseboard. Use the same injection rate for each hole and let dry. The Termidor Foam has some residual for about a month after it dissipates so if any are missed in the initial application the rest of the colony should be affected.

Q
Tips please for use of foam in an exterior lower level (walk-out) insulated wall that is insulated

Detected active termites upon removal of baseboard; which had been damaged. Upon removal found active termites and damage to inside of baseboard and some to exterior of drywall behind it.

A
If you have drywood termites, you should drill holes into the galleries and inject a product like Termidor Foam to eliminate the colony. You will only be injecting the foam into the studs and around where the activity is, not filling the entire wall void.

Q
Drilling 2x4 wood stud to treat for termites. What size hole do I need and what product will I need
A
To treat wood studs, you want to drill a 3/8 to 1/2  hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel. If you are seeing them along the baseboard areas, drill holes every 8-10 inches apart across the area between studs, about an inch or 2 above the baseboard. Use the same injection rate for each hole and let dry. It has some residual for about a month after it dissipates so if any are missed in the initial application the rest of the colony should be affected. If you know where an active infestation is, you should indeed direct treat with the Termidor Foam. The foam will only last for about 6 weeks because it is not bonding with soil molecules. An outside trench will need to be performed also. Please click on the article on how to perform your own termite treatment for additional information and tips.

Q
How much Termidor Foam should I spray into the space between each stud? How high up the wall do I inject?

Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel.

Q
I do I treat with Termidor FOAM for Termites in garage only?

I see 2 termite paths on one wall of my garage. The other side of the wall is interior of my house. The house is concrete slab. Should I treat the whole house with Termidor injections 1 foot apart or should I just treat the garage. Is it necessary to treat every year?

A

We do recommend that you spot treat the area you have seen with the activity using Termidor FOAM. We also recommend that you treat around the outside perimeter of the foundation with Termidor SC.  Please refer to our Termite Guide for helpful tips and application videos.
