    Q
    Termite company proposing to flood crawlspace with Termidor SC
    Tenting & trenching for active infestation. Proposing to 'flood crawlspace of my 100 year old home with Termidor SC. Would this do anything? Says 40 gallons or so (900 sq ft house). Says eventually will sink into ground but I cannot find anything on effaced of this as a treatment. Also, 'rodding for subterranean but I don't think plan on trenching...says every 10 to 12" using pressure gun. Does this create a barrier?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Darryl from Kenmore Hills

    Q
    How would I apply Termidor SC to a pole home?
    My home is on sloping ground and sits up on poles. How would I apply the product to best protect my house? I have heard that I need to built a type of retaining wall around each pole and fill that with moisture retaining dirt and then soak that with Termidor. Is that the best approach?
    A

    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).

    Q
    If I apply Termidor SC for termites (trenching perimeter), will that also control ants?
    A

    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.

    Q
    If my dog digs in the Termidor SC treated area after a day of drying will it kill him?
    A
    If a dog was to dig in an area that was treated with 

    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.

    Q
    Can you use Termidor liquid concentrate in a mist blower to for lawn pests?
    I was wondering if Termidor HE can be used as a perimeter application the exterior of my property annually per the label for pest control. -- Is it possible to use mist blower with Termidor HE? (tank rinsed out to prevent cross contamination) Same mist blower used for mosquito control, wanted to make sure that you can mix chemicals and use Termidor in mist blower.
    A

    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.

    Q
    I have a large frame house. Do I have to spray Termidor SC underneath the house as well as digging a trench?
    What are my options? I don't want to crawl underneath the house to spray.
    A

    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

  • 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.

    Q
    Can you show the math for Termidor dilution?
    When I do the math, 0.80 fluid ounces of Termidor per one gallon (128 fl. oz.) of water = 0.80/128.8 = 0.006 = 0.6%, not 0.06%. What am I doing wrong?
    A
    When diluting Termidor SC with water, you will use 0.8 fluid ounces of the product per 1 gallon of water. There really is no math required for this. You will just measure 0.8 fluid ounces of the product using the measuring reservoir on the bottle. You will then pour that amount of product into 1 gallon of water. When using a 1 gallon sprayer, the idea is to fill the sprayer up half way (1/2 gallon), add the 0.8 ounces of Termidor SC, agitate (or shake up) the chemical, fill the sprayer to 1 gallon, and agitate the chemical again. 

    If you are using the product for the trenching method for termites, which requires 4 gallons of finished solution for each trench, then there is a little bit of math required. Since 0.8 fluid ounces goes into 1 gallon of water, you will use 3.2 fluid ounces per 4 gallons of water. 

    Equation: 
    0.8 x 4 = 3.2

    0.8 represents the standard rate of the product.
    4 represents the amount of water you are going to dilute the product in.
    3.2 represents the total amount of product you will need to use in 4 gallons of water. 

    Therefore, you are going to dilute 3.2 fluid ounces of Termidor SC in 4 gallons of water. You will then pour the entire 4 gallons of solution (Termidor SC and water) into ONE 10 foot trench. You will need to do this until 4 gallons of solution has been applied to each trench around the entire perimeter of the home. 

    I hope this explanation provides you a bit of clarity. If not, please feel free to give us a call at (866) 581-87378.

    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.

    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.

  • 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 Brad from Gainesville, Ga
    06/26/2015
    Q
    Will Termidor SC work for Florida carpenter ants and other carpenter ants?
    Are both attracted to the same baits? Florida carpenters seem more finicky-can't get them to take baits.
    A

    Carpenter ants in FL would be the same as carpenter ants in other regions of the country. We generally recommend using Termidor SC outdoors around the perimeter of your home. This is labeled to be used every six months outdoors.

    What types of bait are you using? We would be happy to make another recommendation if you have been using them for a while.
