    03/16/2022
    Q
    When applied as trench treatment at the foundation, is Termidor SC toxic to bees/pollinators on flowering plants close to the foundation?
    If so, is this toxic for the 10 years the soil barrier treatment remains in the soil? Should I place a barrier in the soil around the plant to separate the soil from the application?
    A

    Termidor SC should not be applied directly to any foliage, including flowering plants. If you are concerned about ornamental plants being affected by Termidor SC when trenching, this product contains Fipronil which is not a systemic insecticide and would really not be absorbed by plants. Per the …

    If applying Termidor SC to the foundation and ground around my home for carpenter ants, is this going to affect the groundwater and my well water?

    Q
    How long do I need to to wait after application of Ortho Home defense?
    I need to eradicate infestation of carpenter ants. Can I use it shortly after using Ortho home defense in same areas?

    We recommend you keep applications of Termidor SC Termiticide/Insecticide about 30 days apart from applications of a pyrethroid. Doing so sooner may impact effiancy.

    Q
    Can I add a separate foaming agent to turn this into a foam spray?

    A

    Yes, you can add a foaming agent to Termidor SC and create a foam. You will also need a foam applicator such as Chapin Poly Foamer.

    Q
    Demand CS and Termidor SC in the same areas...
    I've seen that you should not use Demand in the same areas as Termidor. Why is that? I am planning to begin my own pest control program and my previous pest guy would put down Termidor and Demand in the late spring.
    A

    No, Demand CS and Termidor can not be used in the same area at the same time. Termidor SC is a non-repellent product that works with a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect. Termidor SC also has a very limited label that only allows you to use it on or immediately adjacent to a structure. Dema…

    Q
    Says it can't be used on pets….obviously.
    Obviously, you don't want to use Termidor on pets. But can you use this around the exterior of your home if you have an outside dog? I just removed the old rock mulch from around our home. I want to replace it with treated mulch but also want to take an extra step on termite prevention so I'd like to find a product to do that. I just worried about my pup possibly digging where the product has been applied
    A

    Termidor SC can be sprayed around the perimeter of the home one foot up & one foot out. Once the product has dried it will be safe for pets again. Since the product bonds with the soil, it would not affect your dog even if they're digging there. Keep in mind that spraying termidor does not preve…

    No, Termidor can not be used around any type of tree.
