    05/05/2014
    Q
    Can you use Termidor and Sentricon together for the treatment of termites, or do they work against each other?
    A
    Termidor SC will be applied in drilled holes and in a trench. The best protection for your home would be a dual treatment with a liquid non-repellent and a bait.

  • Asked by Steve from Saint Charles
    05/08/2014
    Q
    Should I reapply any Termidor SC after placing new mulch along the front of the house.
    We had Termidor SC applied around the entire foundation of our house about 2 1/2 years ago just after we had the landscaping around the house redone. The previous owners had problems with termites and we took this opportunity to convert from a bait system they used to a barrier method. We decided to have new mulch placed this year in the front of the house along the foundation. Should I add any Termidor to those areas along the foundation? If so, should I retrench or just add a superficial coating with no digging?
    A
    As long as the Termidor was applied in a trench around the foundation, and the barrier was not broken when mulch was applied, you should not have to reapply Termidor. However, Termidor is a great treatment for ants, roaches, etc on the surface. You can spray it 1 foot up and out around the foundation every 6 months. Termidor in the ground for termites will last up to 10 years.

  • Asked by Cathie from Palmdale, California
    05/08/2014
    Q
    Can you tell me how to find where the termite infestation in my home is?
    We came down into the living room to find it full of winged termites crawling everywhere. We could not tell where the source was and it seemed like they were coming up through the floor. We are going to do the perimeter of the house but these seem to be in the center of house and would like to make sure we get the source.
    A
    Please see our Barrier treatment page. When treating for termites using Termidor SC, you do not have know exactly where they are located. They are constantly moving inside and out. This means that they will go through the barrier and pick up the active ingredient to then transfer throughout the colony.

  • Asked by Virgil from San Antonio, Texas
    05/08/2014
    Q
    What if trenching is not possible. Will periodic spraying keep termites at bay?
    I realize the 6x6 trenching is the recommended way, but that is not possible in some areas around my house. Only option is periodic spraying the exterior foundation, cracks and crevices.
    A
    Termidor SC can only be applied to the top of the soil when you are using it as a perimeter pest control treatment against ants and other pests.  If you are using Termidor SC to treat for active termites, or to protect your home against termites, you must apply the product into a trench.  This is because termites do not walk across the ground like other insects do, they live beneath the soil and enter your home below the grade level of the dirt.  Therefore, you must place the Termidor SC into the ground to have a chance at them coming into contact with the product.  Please read our informational article written for homeowners:  "How To Do a Termite Treatment" which will tell you how deep to dig the trench and how to properly apply Termidor around your home.  If you cannot trench the area you may consider the bait stations as an alternative.

    Q
    Best way to treat termite infestation in Trees
    3 to 5 trees are infested with termites. Some of the trees are very large. What product should I use and how should I apply treatment.
    A
    Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees so you most likely will not find any products that will work as a ground barrier around the trees.  Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Termidor SC would be the product to use for that.  It is only labeled to be used adjacent to the structure though.  Please take a moment to read over our article on "How to do a Termite Treatment" for complete details.

    Q
    How long to wait before replacing termite damaged wood?
    how soon after the termidor application can we have someone in to replace the wood damage?
    A
    After applying Termidor for a termite treatment, you would want to give a full 90 days for the termidor to transfer through the colony and eliminate all the areas of the activity. After 90 days anything that would have been there should be dead and gone and you can then start replacing wood in the home.

  • Asked by Mike from Murrysville, Pa
    05/13/2014
    Q
    What is the best way to eliminate a termite infestation?
    I've lived in the house for twenty years, and used termite stakes for the last ten years along the back of the house that faces the woods. Today, I found termites swarming in the laundry of the first floor in the FRONT of the house. I don't see any dirt tubes, so I don''t know how they got in. Will Termidor SC with a trench application around the foundation kill the termites in the house? Or do I need to use foam? If I need to use foam, how is it applied?
    A

    Termidor SC is applied in a trench and in drilled holes directly around all sides of the structure. It will take approx. 90 days to kill any active colonies depending on their size. You can apply Termidor Foam in the wall voids in the sheet rock to spot treat activity. Please read the article below for more information on treating termites.

    Q
    Does Termidor SC kill termites too?
    A

    Termidor SC is an excellent professional termite control product for killing termites and protecting your home from future infestations. Termidor will protect your home and eliminate almost any termite problem in less than 90 days. In addition, when used as an in-ground barrier treatment, Termidor will protect your home or business for over 10 years. Termidor is completely undetectable by termites and once termites touch it they contact, ingest and spread the termiticide until it eliminates the entire colony. Termidor controls all types of termites including subterranean, formosan, and drywood termites.

    Termidor SC is not labeled to treat fire ants. We do carry Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait that works great as a mound and broadcast application in the lawn for fire ant treatment.

    Q
    Does the temperature of the water I mix termidor (or any concentrate) matter?
    Its probably a dumb question lol but the first time i mixed up some termidor I used the hose that had been sitting in the sun, and the water was just a little past lukewarm. Does it really matter what the temperature of the water is when I mix a pesticide in general? Should it be cold or warm or does it not matter? Thanks!
    A
    You are corerect, The temperature is not an issue when mixing most products and most of the time we suggest something along the lines of warm or room temperature water.

    Q
    Applying along garden bed
    I have a few rose bushes along one side of the house (2 feet away and I don't think the roots will be a problem i.e alow for a breach) I want to trench right up against the house however will constant watering over time make the solution ineffective (dilute)? Thank you
    A
    If you do a trench around the foundation of the home with the Termidor, you would need to let it dry for at least 24-48 hours after applying before any form of rain or irrigation. Once the Termidor has dried completely it will be there for at least 10-15 years protecting the home and watering of your plants next to the home will not dilute it or make it inneffective.

    Q
    What procedure do I use when concrete steps are in the way of drilling Termidor treatment holes?
    Steps for entering house are in the way for drilling perimeter of concrete patio for Termidor. Is it okay to keep the recommended hole pattern and drill around the concrete steps. Steps protrude away from house 3 feet and this is the site of known termites.
    A
    The steps should be drilled as well to apply the Termidor SC if possible. We recommend that you drill the holes 10-12" apart and disperse 4 gallons of finished solution every 10 lineal feet.

  • Asked by Randal from Tampa, Fl
    05/22/2014
    Q
    i found out i have wood termites up in my attic and they are beginning to swarm i was given a estimate to tent
    my house would about $1100.00 can I use termidor and what would be the best way to apply it up in the attic just for a stop gap measure until I can afford the tenting process. thank you.
    A
    Since you have drywood termites in your attic it would be highly recommended that you go with a product called Bora Care. Bora Care is a wood preservative used to treat active wood destroying insects and prevent them from reinfesting treated wood in the future. BoraCare can be sprayed or painted on the wood in the attic and will penetrate the entire piece of wood and erradicate an active infestion. The great thing about Bora Care is that it is natural, last for the entire life of the wood (never goes away), and dries completely clear. Termidor would not be recommended because it doesn't penetrate wood and injections directly into the affected wood would be neccessary for treatment and it doesn't last very long.

    Q
    What is the best way to get Termidor SC into the pre-existing holes in concrete around foundation.
    Can I use a regular garden sprayer or will a funnel fitted into the existing holes serve the purpose. Or do I need some type of professional sprayer to insure complete coverage.
    A
    Good news! Applying Termidor SC into drilled holes does not require a professional sprayer. You can apply it through a funner in each hole or use a pumpo sprayer to pump the solution in.
