  • Asked by Kathleen. from Kaneohe
    05/04/2021
    Q
    My craw space is not that high off the ground can I pour Termidor on top the soil without digging a trench?
    A
    Unfortunately, if you are treating for termites, then pouring a product such as Termidor SC on the soil in the crawl space will not be a sufficient application to treat for termites. If there are live termites currently in the space, then you could use Termidor SC to spot treat where the colony is, but otherwise the only other application would be either in a trench or injected into the soil in that area.

    Q
    Is Termidor SC any good for roaches?
    My home has them and I'm doing all I can to get rid of them
    A

    Termidor is labeled to control roaches but it’s not labeled to be used indoors. Please take a look at our Roach Control Guide for information on how to control roaches. We also have Roach Kits that have the products you need to do a roach treatment indoors.

  • Asked by Hector from North Carolina
    03/02/2021
    Q
    Why is Termidor SC not labeled to be used indoors for pest control?
    A

    Termidor SC has not been tested for use indoors by the manufacturer. Fipronil Plus C would be an alternative product that uses the same active ingredient as Termidor SC that has been tested and labeled for indoor use. Please review the product label for application instructions.

    Q
    Can Termidor SC be used on my log cabin to pre treat for carpenter bees? Can this be applied using a pressure washer to spray 25ft high?
    A

    Termidor SC will kill carpenter bees but it can only be applied 1ft up and 1ft out from the foundation, around windows, doors, and under the eaves of the rooflines or patios coverings. This cannot be applied using a pressure washer to reach high, we would suggest the Chapin Slide Pump Sprayer that shoots 25-30 ft vertically.

    Please see our Carpenter Bee Kits for the best products to use to treat for this pest.

    Q
    Can I spray Termidor SC?
    Can I apply with sprayer or trench is the only effective way to apply it?

    Termidor SC can be used in a pump sprayer and sprayed around the perimeter of structures for general pests only.  For termites you do need to apply in a trench for the best prevention.

  • Asked by Lois from Florida
    04/08/2021
    Q
    Is Termidor SC labeled to kill roaches?
    A

    Termidor SC cannot be used indoors for roach control however can be used as an exterior perimeer foundation treatment outside the home. Termidor SC is mixed at 0.8fl oz per gallon of water and should be applied using a handpump sprayer to treat 1ft up and 1ft out from the foundation, around windows, doors, etc.

    For roaches indoors, we would suggest one of our Roach Control Kits for a complete treatment as it takes a combination of insecticide, insect growth regulator and roach bait along with repeat treatments to eradicate. Please read over our Roach Control Guide to learn how to successfully control roaches:

  • Asked by Jennifer from Ceres
    04/15/2021
    Q
    If Termidor SC was in the root zone, will the fruit ever be ok to eat?
    A

    As long as your fruit tree is not directly sprayed with the Termidor SC or so close to the treatment area that runoff or overspray comes in contact with the fruit, Termidor is safe to use and is not a systemic (not absorbed by the roots).  General rule of thumb is that you should keep Termidor treatments at least 10 feet away from any edible vegetation and you should discard anything that may be contaminated with a direct spray.

  • Asked by Karl from Edgewater, Md
    04/27/2021
    Q
    Could I pour Termidor SC onto the ground above and around?
    If I know where the colony is located.
    A

    Termidor SC can only be applied around the foundation of a structure. It is not labeled for areas away from the structure. Termites will stay below the soil and can have multiple colonies on the property. Termites are actually beneficial insects and in a setting out in your yard they are great to have around to keep everything in balance. If you feel you must kill them though, you can drench the soil with a general insecticide like Talstar P as directed.

  • Asked by Jim
    06/01/2010
    Q
    What is the reason that Termidor cant be used inside as a spot spray for carpenter ants?
    A
    The label of a product is the law, and the manufacturer and the EPA decided on a label that does not permit Termidor to be used indoors for ants or other insect control, only termite control.  We are not sure exactly why, but the label is the law so we cannot recommend using a product against what the label says.  We do have an excellent product to place inside the home for carpenter ants called Maxforce Carpenter ant bait gel.  It is in our carpenter ant kit and has a very high success rate.

    Q
    Will Termidor SC kill brown scorpions found in Georgia?
    A
    Termidor SC will most likely kill scorpions. Since it is not labeled to do so, we can not tell you how effective it would for this use. We usually recommend Cyper WP for scorpion control. Cyper WP is also available in our scorpion control kit

    Q
    How long is Termidor effective indoors when applied as a spot treatment indoors?
    A
    Termidor SC can only be used to spot treat for termites in wall voids indoors. When used properly Termidor SC will last for about 6 weeks in wall voids. If you want a longer lasting product for termites in wall voids, Bora-Care would be a good choice.

    Q
    What's your opinion on the best approach for termite control, the Bait Systems, Termiticide liquid, or both?
    A
    The most superior treatment hands down for termites is a liquid foundation treatment.  This is because the point of the treatment is to completely surround your home.  You should follow the instructions as outlined in our How To Do A Termite Treatment Article.

  • Asked by Dante
    05/28/2011
    Q
    For perimeter ant treatment, how long before I can disturb the soil?
    I need to treat for carpenter ants, but some of my beds against the house will need some planting, new mulch, etc. Should I re-treat in spots where soil is disturbed? Or will the product still work? It will be almost impossible to just leave that 1-foot band around the house untouched.
    A
    When you apply Termidor for ants around the home you should apply 1 foot up onto the foundation and 1 foot out onto the soil.  Even if you do disturb some of the soil, you will still have some residual on the house if any ants are around.  Of course it will not harm anything if you retreat the areas that you disturb.  You should spray at least twice a year for ant control around the home.

    06/14/2011
    Q
    Is it true that Termidor is essentially ineffective on exposed wood (for termites) once it has dried?
    Is there no residual benefit?
    A
    Termidor SC is formulated specifically to bond to soil molecules and will last for around 10 years when applied properly to soil. When applied to wood Termidor SC will last at most for about 6 weeks. If you are looking for a long lasting product to treat or protect wood you should check out Bora-Care.
