We apologize that Termidor SC, Taurus SC and Navigator SC are restricted to Indiana so we are unable to ship those termiticides. You can check out a product that we have called Dominion 2L. A 27.5 fl oz bottle will make 50 gallons and treat 120 lineal feet of trenching/drilling per bottle. Please find our treatment article/videos here for a successful application.
Termidor SC cannot be applied to pastures. We recommend consulting with the Dept of Ag for alternate product selections that will best fit your needs.
DoMyOwn.com is located in Norcross, Georgia about 45 minutes northeast of Atlanta. We only ship within the United States at this time.
Termidor SC no se puede utilizer en plantas comestibles. Muchas veces las termitas si solo se encuentran en la tierra cercan del arbol no le causan dano.
If you did not apply the correct amount of Termidor SC you would need to redo the entire trench and apply at the rate of 3.2 fl oz in 4 gallons per 10 lineal feet to get the correct application.
Unfortunately, this is not a common situation and therefore, we are unable to advice. We recommend contacting the emergency number on the safety data sheet (SDS), 1-800-424-9300 and we also recommend to contact the company that performed the treatment.
Best Regards,
Yes, liquid termiticides can be used to drill and inject into brick. Normally, horizontal drilling through brick is not needed unless you have a hollow block wall leading into a basement that you need to treat on the inside. You would follow the instructions laid out at the link below to our Termite Treatment Guide on how to do a trench around the foundation of your home with Termidor to get the 10 year protection from subterranean termites. Any areas you have concrete against the foundation (i.e., patio, sidewalk, driveway/garage) where you can't trench, you would need to drill a hole every 12 inches across and treat the soil below the concrete. These instructions are also laid out in the guide and product label of Termidor SC which you can find a link to under the Product Documents section on the Termidor SC page
Termidor SC can be applied around foundation right after trenching. You would not want to spray and than trench, since the trench should not be disturbed after it has been done.
We do not have a specific time for the application of Termidor SC in your area but usually you start applying when temperatures start to warm up around March. If you would like to know a better time frame you should contact your local extension office.
You must find out how many lineal feet you have around the outside or your home. Unfortunately, the square footage just will not tell us how much you really have to treat. To find how many lineal feet you have, measure around the front, back and each side of your home. Add up the measurements, and you will have the total lineal feet. Use 4 gallons of finished solution per 10 lineal feet around the house.
For Example: A home with 200 lineal feet around the foundation would require 4 bottles of Termidor SC. Most homes require at least 4 bottles. For Termite control, Termidor SC is mixed at a rate of .80 fl oz. for each gallon of water used and each 20 oz bottle will make 24 gallons of solution and treats 60 lineal feet of trenching.?
Termidor SC should not be mixed in wet cement or grout. It binds to soil when applied as directed on the label against the foundation for termite control/prevention.
While Termidor SC is labeled for wasps it can take time and you are limited in where it can be applied per the product label. Please take a moment to read over our wasp control guide so you can learn how to control wasps.
We cannot recommend or advise to flood a crawlspace with Termidor SC unless concrete will be poured over it afterwards. You may view our Termidor SC and Flooding Q&A for more information on this. Also, here is the full product label so you may review complete application instructions and methods.
Professional companies usually will not dig a trench, but they will use the rodding method because they have the truck rig to be able to do so. This method is a much faster process. Rodding will still help to control termites.
If your home is built on piers or wood beams, then you could use Termidor SC to trench the soil around each wooden pier/beam at the same rate that you would use to treat around a foundation (4 gallons of solution per 10 feet in a 6 inch x 6 inch trench).
Termidor SC may kill some ants that go through the soil where you have trenched. To get the best ant control you should also spray 1 foot up the foundation and out on the ground after trenching.
Termidor SC it would not cause harm if the product had completely dried. What you would be concern about would be that the barrier would be disturbed and most likely will need to reapply the product.
We do not carry Termidor HE but like Termidor SC, it cannot be applied as a broadcast application for pest control on the lawn. Therefore, we recommend using a backpack sprayer or a handpump sprayer, not a mist blower, to spray the perimeter of your home for general pest control. Termidor SC can only be used twice a year at a rate of 0.8 oz per gallon of water or 4 times a year at a rate of 0.4 oz per gallon of water.
When applying Termidor SC to a home, you would follow the method of digging a 6x6 trench, around the foundation and use 4 gallons to every 10 linear feet. Be sure to read our Liquid Termite
Yes, in addition to doing the trenching method it is recommended to also treat the crawl space using Termidor SC. Please refer to page 7 of the product label for information on how to treat a crawl space using the product.
