    Q
    How do apply Termidor in a crawl space?
    Crawl Space
    A

    Inside the crawl space you would need to trench around any piers that hold up the home but the outside trench would be all that is required for the actual foundation if you are using Termidor. The Termidor will last for 10 years to protect your home. Please take a moment to look thru our pest control guide for termite treatment.

    Q
    Treating crawl space with Termidor SC?
    I'm getting ready to encapsulate my crawl space. Should I put a barrier down around the perimeter inside or just do the exterior? I don't want to later wish I would have done the crawl space before it's too late
    A
    We agree with you...we would absolutely recommend doing the crawl space with Termidor by trenching the inside perimeter and around all of the piers, and treat just as you would around the outside.  Once your crawl space is encapsulated you will not be able to treat again.  This also greatly limits inspections of the crawl space for termites in the future so we recommend keeping a close eye upstairs in the living space on the first floor for any activity.

    Q
    Termidor in crawl space with block wall
    I had a major termite company treat my house years ago with Termidor. The way they treated it was inside the crawl space they drilled holes in the center of each lower cinder block, then went around and injected the chemical in each block. No trenching was done anywhere. I wish to redo an application myself for prevention as it has been many years now. Is this a proper way to treat the perimeter, and if I redo this myself want kind of volume would I want to put in each block ?
    A

    We would highly suggest trenching and treating instead of only treating inside the cinder block wall.  Termidor is meant to bond to soil and be applied into the ground.  It will not last very long just treating into the cinder block walls.  Cinder blocks are also very porous, so they will soak up a lot of the termidor and you might get a few months of protection instead of 10 years when applying it into the ground. 

    You should follow the instructions as outlined in our How To Do A Termite Treatment article to treat the exterior and underside of your crawl space.

    Q
    In addition to trenching the exterior perimeter do I need to trench inside the crawl space as well with Termidor SC?
    My home sits on a 3 ft crawl space.
    A

    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.

    Q
    Active subterranian termites in the crawlspace
    I have active subterranian termites in the crawl space. There are tubes going up the inside concrete wall of the crawl space. Should I knock the tubes down first before trenching and applying termidor sc along the crawl space wall, and can I apply termidor sc directly on the mud tubes on the concrete crawl space wall?
    A
    Termidor SC can be used in a crawl space. You can knock the tubes out before trenching in the area. You will dig a 6 by 6 inch trench around the crawl space and pour 4 gallons per 10 lineal feet.

    Q
    Can you do a perimeter treatment only on a home that has crawl space with 4 piers or must the piers be treated?
    piers are hard do get to. low crawl. will a perimeter foundation treatment be enough
    A

    Yes, you can use Termidor SC around the perimeter of your home and in the crawl space. If your house is on piers, you will need to treat around each one. It is not necessary to do a treatment in the crawl space if you cannot get to the area.

    Q
    Can Termidor SC be used in a crawl space?
    We have an old log house that sits directly on the ground. When I use the trench method, it is possible/likely some of that material will run of into the crawl space. I have read it is not intended for indoor use, but it is not clear on crawl spaces.
    A
    Termidor SC can be used in crawlspaces. There are complete instructions on the Termidor SC product label (page 5) on how to use the product in the crawlspace, so if a bit inadvertently goes into the crawlspace it should not pose a problem.

  • Asked by Lucas from Biggs
    06/25/2021
    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
    Will perimeter trenching with fipronil be sufficient or do I need to treat the crawl space?
    I have a 20x30 wood frame building (basically a big shed) on wood posts, on a slope so that crawl space underneath varies from 0 to 18". Dirt underneath. An untreated central 2x12 beam was partially buried in soil (don't ask me, I wasn't there!) and is infested with subterranean termites which have also started on the OSB flooring and two untreated interior posts. Beam is being replaced with treated wood which will not contact the ground. Posts below the floor are treated, including the 2 in the center and a dozen perimeter posts. I will cut off all contact between untreated wood and soil. Do I need to crawl under the building and pour solution around the central posts and/or ground surface, or will a perimeter treatment around the outside be sufficient? I only want to tear up and repair this floor once! Thanks.
    A
    We would absolutely recommend doing the crawl space with Termidor by trenching around all of the piers/beams and treat just as you would around the outside.

    Q
    Is it effective to spray Termidor along "inside boundary of crawl space"?
    A

    We actually recommend, if possible, to apply Termidor in a trench inside the crawl space. You will use the same method as you do around the entire structure.
