  • Asked by Frank from Philadelphia, Pa
    02/10/2017
    Q
    Can I use Termidor Foam for termite treatment above windows?
    A

    Yes, you can treat this infestation using Termidor Foam. You will need to drill into the infested area to apply the foam. 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. For more tips, we recommend to read over step 1 of our article on How to Get Rid of Subterranean Termites.

    Q
    Should I apply Termidor FOAM inside the wall of the 2nd story, too?
    I did a trench application of Termidor and also an application of Termidor foam in the first floor wall where I saw termite activity. I have a 2 story home.
    A

    You should only use the Termidor Foam to directly spot treat active infestations of termites inside.  If they are in the wood in the wall on the second story then yes you would use it there.

    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.

  • Asked by Bruce from Houston Tx
    10/18/2016
    Q
    Is there an applicator required to apply Termidor Foam?
    Your web site says: "Use only with Whitmire Micro-Gen or BASF approved actuator." Do you sell either of these? Do I need to buy an actuator or is there simply a button on the can which allows the foam to leave the can?
    A

    There is no applicator necessary to apply Termidor FOAM.  The bendable straw that is attached to the can itself is all you need to apply the product.  No actuator required.

    Q
    Can I use Termidor Foam to treat a rental that is now infested with termites?
    What do you have that I can spray indoors it is a row house.
    A

    Termidor Foam would definitely be a great choice for Termite treatment inside a home. You can use it to foam inside wall voids or treat directly into a tunnel. If you are dealing with heavy activity, you may need to contact a professional to do a tent treatment.

    Q
    When using Termidor foam, or Termidor SC and a foaming agent, will a foaming application sprayer generate more?
    Pressure when injecting the foam into a wall stud than the Termidor foam product from the can?
    A

    Yes, Termidor SC  with a foaming agent will generate more usage per square footage than Termidor FOAM.  You will need a foam applicator such as a Chapin Poly Foamer to apply the solution.

    Q
    what is the difference between using Termidor foam and Termidor SC and one of the two foaming agents
    That you sell? Is it just a matter cost, convenience, or volume of foam to be produced? Is there any difference in the foam produce buy Termidor foam or Termidor SC or their activity
    A

    Termidor FOAM  and Termidor SC when accompanied by a foaming agent would be the same application. However, the Termidor SC with a foamin agent would cover more area, and certainly be more economical if you had larger areas or more than one area to treat.

    Is foam absorbed by the wood when injected into a stud?

    Q
    Why is the residual of Termidor Foam only 6 weeks when the Termidor SC used in the trenching methof last several years?
    A

    The Termidor FOAM has different uses and different percentages of the active ingredients in it along with a different carrier method as well. All of these things combined will give it a different residual time.

    Q
    Can I rub Termidor Foam on antique furniture? Will it harm cats or myself?
    I am moving antique furniture, but want to be rid of termites. I also have many cats. What are the dangers? I have read Termidor is for outside use.
    A

    No, Termidor SC should only be used indoors if you are treating an active termite infestation and you know where the pests are. We would not recommend applying this product while pets and/or children are indoors. Once the product has dried completely, it is safe for pets to return to the area.

  • Asked by Amy from Billerica, Ma
    04/21/2016
    Q
    What if I'm only treating part of a termite infestation with Termidor Foam?
    I know there are termites in one area of a wall. I can't see where else they are, but no doubt they are also in other cavities. If I treat with foam in one area, but miss a bunch of other areas that they are in, am I going to disrupt the group and make them move to a new spot...something I DON'T want to do. I am doing the ground treatment, but I'm suspicious that they may have a satellite nest in a damp area of wall. Renovation of that wall will not start for 6-8 weeks and I'd like to treat before opening it up. I don't want them moving house to a new spot if I disrupt them with foam but don't foam most of them. Thoughts?
    A

    Termidor Foam, just like the liquid Termidor SC, is a non repellent formulation. This means that when spot treating in voids where you believe there is activity, the termites will not detect the product and it will not cause them to move. If you are doing a soil treatment as well this will take care of the colony as well and will transfer to the ones within the home.

    Q
    Can I use Termidor Foam on a 4 x 4 wood post?
    I notice dryrot termite eating at a 4x4 wood post. What and how can I treat this? Is this foam only to spray into hallow spaces?
    A

    You can use Termidor FOAM in the wood post.  You would need to drill directly into the galllery where the drywood termites are infesting and foam into it as directed on the product label.

    Q
    How to apply Termidor Foam inside a house that has insulation?
    A

    If you have termites, you should drill holes into the galleries and inject Termidor Foam to directly 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. Please see the video for direct nest treatment in our Termite Treatment Guide.

    Q
    How to use Termidor Foam on Carpenter Ants in my ceiling
    For a couple of weeks, I have seen residue of something in my ceiling. Turns out it's carpenter ants- I have found a few dead on the floor and seen 2 or 3 climbing up the wall to a gap between the drywall and the molding. Upon looking outside, there is a small hole in my roof (shingles) at the very corner that probably made it easy for them to get in without even making any holes. Could I spray the foam into the hole in the roof, or should I drill holes from the inside drywall? I can't tell if they are in the insulation in the roof, or in the insulation of the exterior wall of the house- but my exterior walls are brick.
    A
    Termidor Foam will treat for carpenter ants if injected into the bored holes. You will need to drill into the infested area and apply the foam. 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.

    Q
    How to disperse Termidor Foam?
    I see in the Termidor foam label that for certain types of treatment, the foam must dissipate or be removed before leaving the area. I have some damaged wood that was treated and I thought the foam would dissipate by itself, but it has not. I do have to remove the foam so that I can repair the wood, but how should this removal be accomplished? Thank you for your help with this question.
    A
    Termidor Foam is an expanding foam that will start to dissipate after if fully expands and will leave behind a residual that will continue to kill termites for about 6 weeks following the application. Termidor Foam will not harden.

  • Asked by Edward from Boca Raton, Fl

    Q
    How long after treatment before wood restoration can begin?
    I have a couple fascia boards which were damaged by dampwood termites. The damage is limited, and the boards are not structural members, just cosmetic. An inch or so of one board was destroyed and must be rebuilt. I am planning to restore the damaged wood using a commercially available epoxy product. How long after I treat with Termidor Foam can I begin the restoration process? Thank you.
    A
    If you used the Termidor Foam to eliminate a colony in there, and you know the entire colony is now dead, you can start the restoration process as soon as you would like. If the colony has not died off yet or you are not sure, make sure adequate time has been given to let the product work before starting the restoration process.
