    Q
    Once the 6" deep x 6" wide trench is dug, what is the pour rate per foot?
    I would like to know once the trench is dug, how much and how is it applied in the trench? Lets say if I have a ten foot trench, how much liquid should be used within that measurement?
    A
    The usage rate is 4 gallons of solution for every 10 ft of trench. Be sure to read our Liquid Termite Treatment article for full directions.

  • Asked by Kathy from Texas

    Q
    Can I do partial treatment with Termidor SC?
    My husband did the trench method. He said he was so tired that he replaced back the untreated soil and sprayed it with Termidor SC the next day and it rained a few hours after he did the spray. Is it still okay if he did it that way? And one more thing, he only sprayed on the front of our house with the landscaped area and did not do trenching. Is it also fine that way too?
    A

    Spraying Termidor SC on the surface of soil is not going to offer a protective barrier like the trench and will only work for the general pests that contact the soil surface. Termidor binds to the soil that it is applied to and needs to be used in a trench 6 x 6 inches to offer the best protection. It also does not move through the soil after rain. Termites do not actually contact the surface so it would be best to go back and complete the trench in those areas that have not been done.

    Q
    Will Termidor SC kill fire ants if spot-treating the mounds?
    Can I spot treat the fire ant mounds?
    A

    Termidor SC cannot be used to treat fire ants or their mounds. We recommend that you treat the individual mounds (as well as a broadcast) with Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait. It will take approximately 1.5-2 lbs per acre and 2-5 TBSP per mound. Please see our Fire Ant Pest Guide for more information and tips about treating for this pest.

    Q
    My lawn has too many ants. Can I spray treat the entire lawn?
    My lawn has too many ants. Can I spray treat the entire lawn with the Termidor SC? If I can, what is the mixing ratio? Is it still 0.8 oz for every gallon of water? Thanks
    A
    No. Termidor SC can only be used on or immediately around your home. Termidor SC is not labeled for use in your yard. You may want to consider using an ant bait granule such as Advance 375A or an insecticide granule such as Talstar PL for ants in your yard.

  • Asked by Richard from Kekaha, Hi
    11/05/2013
    Q
    Can Termidor be effective by injecting it with a needle & syringe into termite galleries in infested wood?
    A
    In order to inject the Termidor SC liquid into the beams you will need to drill holes every couple of inches and use a sprayer with a pinpoint stream or a straw attachment to get the application into the holes. Another option would be to use Termidor Foam which comes in a ready to use can with the small attachments to get the foam into the drilled holes. Using a needle and syringe may not offer enough product and pressure into the areas for best coverage.

    05/28/2014
    Q
    What if don't trench around the house with Termidor SC?
    Will the treatment still serve the same purpose?
    A
    Termidor SC should be applied in a trench and drilled holes for a proper termite treatment so there is a complete barrier around the structure. If treated properly, it will last 10 years in the soil. If you are treating for ants, you will spray topically a foot up and a foot out directly up against the structure once every six months.

    Q
    Can I apply Termidor to the wooden second floor of my home which is infested with termites?
    A
    Termidor SC should only be applied to the exterior of the structure for termite control. We recommend that after 90 days, you can apply Bora-Care to the wood on the interior of the home. For more information on termite treatments, please refer to our Termite Treatment Article. Please let us know if you need anything else.

  • Asked by Mike from Florence, Sc
    09/27/2013
    Q
    We are treating an active termite infestation with Termidor. Other than exterior trenching, what should we do?
    We've been told we have active termites under our house, which has a crawlspace foundation with concrete block piers. What should we do besides treating the exterior foundation with the Termidor SC? We've also been told that they are under the concrete steps. We have 10 rental properties and are trying to treat all of them.
    A
    If you know where the termites are active we do recommend directly treating that area. You should trench and treat around the wall inside the crawl space and trench and treat around each pier for best results. Drilling through the concrete steps to apply Termidor to the area under the steps is needed as well as many contractors hide buidling debris in these areas and termites are known to frequent this area.

  • Asked by Kim from United States
    04/16/2015
    Q
    Can I place the termite liquid treatment along the foundation of my home where there is just a small gap?
    The gap is between the foundation an a cement walkway. I plan to place backer rod and sikaflex to fill the gap. Would the treatment be effective if I placed it on the opposite side of the cement walkway (side not up against house)?
    A
    We would reommend drilling through the gap or 3 inches away from the foundation of your home. Holes should be spaced 12 inches apart and drill holes should be a minimum of 6 inches deep below the cooncrete. Concrete is typically 3-4 inches in depth, therefore, you wold need to drill a total of 10-12 inches.

  • Asked by Cari from Houston Texas
    05/14/2013
    Q
    Does Termidor foam work against roaches also?
    A
    Termidor Foam is not labeled to treat roaches. We recommend using our Roach control kit to treat roaches. Roach Control Kit #2 includes 1 packet of Demon WP Insecticide (which makes 4 gallons of finished solution) for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get 4 x 30 gram tubes of Advion Roach Bait Gel--one of the best roach baits on the market. Advion can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, 20 Gentrol Point Source stations provide an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) that will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. Please find our article on roach treatment tips and prevention.

    Q
    Will Termidor control spiders?
    but you would only be able to use the product outside. Termidor SC does not have an immediate knockdown but instead uses a delayed reaction kill which makes it especially effective for social insects like ants, termites and certain species of wasps - See more at: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/termidor-sc-p-184.html?keywords=spider&search_for=questions#questions
    A

    Termidor SC will treat spiders but you would only be able to use the product outside.  Termidor SC does not have an immediate knockdown but instead uses a delayed reaction kill which makes it especially effective for social insects like ants, termites and certain species of wasps.  Most folks will use a residual product with a broader application area. Please check out our spider control kit for a better option.

    Can Termidor be used to treat mold crickets in your yard?
    Presently the mole crickets are cutting through roots of the flower plants in the ground.

    Q
    How do I inject termidor SC into holes and can it be done with the undiluted material?
    and can i purchase a small amount... Dry wood termites in painted 4x4 beams with small hole showing the dust and residues coming out
    A
    Termidor SC must be diluted according to the product instructions. The smallest container it comes in is the 20 oz bottle. In order to inject the liquid into the beams you will need to drill holes every couple of inches and use a sprayer with a pinpoint stream or a straw attachment to get the application into the holes. Another option would be to use Termidor Foam which comes in a ready to use can with the small attachments to get the foam into the drilled holes.

  • Asked by Beth from Orlando, Fl
    09/06/2011
    Q
    Can I use Termidor on a screened porch that my pets have free access to?
    I use Termidor to make a perimeter around my house for ants, roaches, and other general insects. I spray about 3 ft. up and 3 ft. out on the ground. Can I use this the same way in a screened porch that my pets (cats) have free access to or should I use an indoor/outdoor product instead? If I use Termidor, pretty much all of the floor of the porch would be sprayed where the pets walk and sit. I use Suspend to make a perimeter inside the house and could use that instead on the screened porch.
    A
    Termidor SC should not be used in the screened porch as that is considered an "indoor use" which is prohibited on the product label (unless it is used in wall voids). We recommend that you do stick to using the Suspend SC on the screened porch.

    Q
    When is it safe for children to be around when using Termidor inside?
    We are drilling holes inside our house on the concrete slab and using Termidor. Is it safe for children to be around, or how long before it is safe for them?
    A
    No, we would NOT recommend using Termidor SC when children are around. Once the product is dry, it is safe for your children to return to the area. Termidor SC normally dries within a matter of hours depending on the temperatures outdoors.

  • Asked by John
    01/12/2016
    Q
    How often do you have to spray Termidor outside your house to keep termites out?
    A

    Termidor SC is applied as a spray once every six weeks topically up against the foundation for insects that crawl on top of the soil, such as ants. If you are trying to treat for subterranean termites, you will want to dig a trench up against the structure, and if there is concrete up against the foundation you will need to drill to apply the product. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Subterranean Termites for specific application instructions.

  • Asked by Jordan from Il
    04/12/2016
    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.

  • Asked by John
    05/28/2016
    Q
    It rained 30 minutes after application of Termidor SC, do I need to reapply?
    A

    Depending on how heavy the rain was will depend on if you will need to reapply. If the rain was only light and you had just completed a Termidor treatment in a trench for termite prevention then you should be fine. If it was a heavy rain for a long period of time then you may need to reapply. If you were using the Termidor to spray around the perimeter of your home for ants and general insects, then you will likely need to reapply it on a day when no rain is expected for at least 24 hours.
