    Q
    how to treat under slab house without drilling
    I believe the nest of the termites attacking our house is directly under it. Our house is on a slab but we cannot drill into it because we have radiant heat in the floors. In my research I've seen it mentioned that you can insert rods under the slab to treat but I cant find more detail on how to best do this...and we would like to do it ourselves. Please advise oh how to do this!
    A

    Rodding under the slab of a house from the exterior is a complex and detailed process that we do not recommend attempting yourself. We recommend that you contact a local reputable termite company for an inspection and estimate for something like this. If you have termites in the home, then you can spot treat where there are active termites using a ready-to-use termiticide foam such as Termidor Foam which will transfer throughout the rest of that termite colony.

    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.

    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
    I want to pretreat the soil with Termidor SC before pouring a foundation for a new building. Building will be 48'x36'. Do I cover the entire area (1728 sq ft) ? How many gallons would I need?
    A

    Yes, when doing a pre slab treatment you will need to use 1 gallon of mixed solution of Termidor SC (0.8 fl oz per gallon of water) per 10 square feet. Take the total square footage you need to treat, divide the square footage by 10 then multiply by 0.8 to get the total amount of Termidor SC you will need to treat for the pre-slab treatment.

    If treating 1728 sq ft, that would come to 172.8 10 sq ft sections and you would need 138.24 fl oz of Termidor SC to treat the entire area. Taurus SC would be an alternative to Termidor SC that comes in a 78 oz bottle. Taurus SC is the generic brand of Termidor SC and contains the same amount of Fipronil active ingredient, same product label and application rates.

    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 safe to use around kids?
    Do I need to wear personal protective equipment when doing this job?
    A

    As long as you keep pets/children out of the area while you treat and until the Termidor SC application has had time to completely dry or settle it is safe for pets and people to return and resume normal activity.  Typically after 4-6 hours. Please be sure to read the product label to get complete information on the needed personal protective safety gear you will need. In most situations, it is recommended that you wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, closed toe shoes with socks, chemical resistant gloves and goggles. In areas where ventilation is poor a manufacturer may recommend you wear a mask or a respirator. We have put together 2 different safety kits that will make selecting correct safety gear easier for you.

    Q
    How far will one bottle of Termidor SC cover?
    A

    Termidor SC will cover 60 lineal feet per 20 oz bottle for trenching and drilling for subterranean termite control against the foundation. This is not a wood treatment product. If applying twice per year for crawling insects around the structure (1 ft up and 1 ft out), you will apply 0.8 fl oz per gallon.

    Q
    How often do you need to redo a Termidor SC or Termidor 80WG in-ground treatment?
    Our 14-unit slab development had a Termidor SC or Termidor 80WG in-ground treatment in early June 2015. Approximately how often should the in-ground treatment be redone? We are not sure exactly which product was used, but assume it was one of these 2 since both were launched in 2015. They did a perimeter in-ground treatment around each of our three building slabs.
    A

    Termidor SC has a residual of 10 years when applied as a termite trench treatment. If active termite colonies are observed after the trench treatment has been done, spot treatments with a 1 gallon mixed solution of Termidor SC or Termidor Foam is recommended. Drill into the wall void or area where suspected termite colony is located and inject the liquid solution or foam into the wall void. 

    Please view our How to perform a Termite Trench Treatment Article and our How to Use Termidor Foam Video for more information.

    Q
    Can Termidor SC be applied with a fogger?

    Under no circumstance should Termidor SC be applied with a fogger of any kind. Termidor is a very restrictive product as to how and where it can be used and you must adhere to the product label use instructions completely.

    How long after perimeter treatment with Termidor SC should you wait to run AC?
    How long should you wait to turn on central air and or a wall unit air conditioner after perimeter treatment with Termidor SC? Additionally how long should you wait to return to sleeping in bedrooms that are below ground after perimeter treatment?
    A

    We recommend waiting until the Termidor SC treated areas have dried before turning on the units. As long as non of the application seeped inside, you can use the rooms as usual after the application.

    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 eradicatePlease read over our Roach Control Guide to learn how to successfully control roaches:

    Q
    Is using Termidor SC on the outside of a house with a crawlspace effective?
    I am unable to fit in the crawlspace on the part of my house that the termites are using. If I treat just the outside will it be equally as effective?
    A

    Termidor SC is a great choice for liquid soil treatment since it has a very long soil residual (10 years or more) and great transfer effect. In preventative applications, you would not be required to treat the inside of a crawl space. However, if there are live termites in the crawl space, then you would still need to spot treat that colony to insure control of them. So just treating the exterior of the house is not considered sufficient if there is already an issue in the crawl space.

    If you can treat the termites from elsewhere in the house, then you may be able to spot treat the activity using Termidor Foam instead.

    Q
    Why is Termidor SC not approved for post construction in Louisiana?
    A

    Due to the high water table and potential for regular flooding in the state of Louisiana, most of the soil termiticides such as Termidor SC  are not for use in the soil in that state. This means only unique and safer formulations that wont get into the water are allowed, or bait stations in instances where liquids are not the preferred option. The two main termiticides that are not restricted to soil use in Louisana are Altriset and Phantom. Altriset is what most customers use due to its newer formulation and safety for the environment, along with its great termite control abilities. If you feel trenching is not going to be what you would like to do,  we do carry Termite Bait Stations as a great alternative home protection option. The guide linked here is extremely helpful and goes through step by step instructions as well as "How to" videos for both treating with a liquid termiticide as well as installing bait stations.

    Q
    After the wood is soaked in Termidor SC and inserted in the ground around structures, will it be effective for killing termites that take it back to the colony?
    A

    Termidor SC does not penetrate into the wood at all.  It will only sit on the surface of the wood and is best applied in a trench around the home for termite protection.  It will transfer back to the colony by those that go through the treated soil. We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.

    Q
    Why can I not order Termidor SC in IN?
    A

    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.
