    Q
    How often through out the summer should I treat my homes outer perimeter with Termidor SC?
    I bought Termidor SC from you and what I need to know is this. If I treat the perimeter of my home outside walls ground etc..,and also my wood fences and grass areas how will rain affect this treatment? If its treated for a week and it rains should I retreat areas between rains to keep carpenter ants at bay?
    A
    We strongly encourage you to read and follow pages 13-14 of Termidor SC product label which deals specifically with outdoor perimeter applications. According to the product label you are only permitted to apply Termidor two times per year as a perimeter spray. As long as Termidor SC was allowed to dry before you had rain there is no reason to reapply the product as it will not wash away. Also, the product label limits the area that you are allowed to spray to one foot up the foundation of the structure and one foot out onto the ground around the structure. You are not permitted to spray around your fence line or around your yard with this product. In these restricted areas we recommend that you use Advance Carpenter Ant Bait.

  • Asked by Richard from Fort Lauderdale, Fl
    05/04/2013
    Q
    Can I use a drill to inject Termidor SC into exposed wood indoor?
    My indoor stairs is all wood and we have drywood termites in it. I see the kick out hole and want to drill to inject Termidor there and make other small holes to apply it. Is it safe? I have a dog.
    A
    Typically you just drill the hole into the infested piece of wood and inject the product however you can.  You should drill into the exact center of the wood.  We do sell a foam product already in a can for termites that is very popular and will save you the time and money of having to buy a foamer and foaming agent.  It is called Termidor Foam and comes ready to go with an applicator tip.  The key to drywood termite control is to get the product exactly where the termites are.   You may also want to look into Boracare it can be painted, sprayed, or foamed onto raw untreated wood. It is a great product for wood boring insects because it will penetrate up to 4 in and will last the lifetime of the wood. If you have any further questions you are welcome to call us at 866-581-7378 to speak further.

    Q
    tremoder sc: After trenching will re-planting and watering a treated area compromise the termite treatment.
    need to know soon........thank you
    A
    You should not dig up any area that is part of the Termidor treated barrier or you do indeed risk interrupting your barrier treatment. We recommend never planting within 6 inches of a home (where your trench is located), because this allows pests to hide and increases chances that they will invade your home too.

  • Asked by Sharmaine
    10/04/2018
    Q
    What should I do if I mixed too much Termidor?
    A

    Since Termidor SC is a non repellent, overmixing could negatively effect the treatment. We recommend to either add more water or start over using the recommended rate of 0.8 oz per gallon of water.

  • Asked by Mike from Sutton, Vt.
    04/17/2014
    Q
    Is it better to use a non residual spray around the perimeter for carpenter ants?
    A
    Using a non residual spray will only allow you to kill the ants that are sprayed directly when you are applying it.  One of the best ant control products available is called Termidor.  It is a liquid that is labeled for outside perimeter application around houses.  Unlike most sprays that kill the ants and do make it back to the colony, Termidor is like a liquid bait....the ants carry it back for you and pass it around and eliminate the entire colony.  Termidor is the considered to be the best ant control product ever invented and is widely used by professional companies and it only has to be applied twice a year for ant control.

    Q
    Applying termidor around long tree perimeter
    i have termite prob on a living tree how far from their tree base do I need to dig trench for treatment? Could product harm tree?
    A
    Termites do not usually infest any living piece of wood or tree as they go after dead and decaying wood matter. Are you sure they are termites or that part of the tree isnt dead? Termidor cannot be used away from the foundation of the home/structure unless you are direct treating a carton nest as defined by the Termidor product label. It is not allowed to be used as a trench treatment or drench on or around a tree out on the property for control of any pest. A better option would be to use a product like Talstar P around the base of the tree if you are concerned there could be termites in that vacinity. Talstar would safe to use on the tree and would eliminate any insects in the soil where you treated and any that pass through the soil as well.

    Q
    What is a linear foot?
    A
    The term linear foot refers to the number of feet in a straight line, generally without regard to the width. If you need to measure for a termite treatment, you will measure straight across the front, each side and back of your home. Add up each measurement and you will have the total linear feet.

  • Asked by Ryan from Maine
    05/17/2013
    Q
    Generally how long till I no longer see carpenter ants?
    I had a pretty bad carpenter ant problem... was seeing dozens of them every day. I applied Termidor about 2 feet up the foundation and 2 feet out onto the dirt soil. It's been a week and I still see them, although I've noticed they're not showing up in such high numbers. Generally, how long should it take until they completely disappear? I've heard some people say 24 hours and others say several weeks.
    A
    When using Termidor SC to treat carpenter ants it may take anywhere between 30 to 90 days to eradicate the colony. Termidor kills by transfer. The foraging ants will come out and make contact with the active ingredient. The kill is delayed long enough for the ant to transfer the active ingredient throughout the colony producing a domino killing effect and ultimately killing the queen.

    Q
    I made a gallon of Termidor SC how long will it keep, or do I have to use all the solution the same day.
    A
    The rule of thumb when using any diluted solution is to make sure to use the diluted solution within 24 hours of mixing. The shelf life of the concentrate is 3 years if kept in a cool dry area.

  • Asked by John from Addison, Tx

    Q
    Can Termidor for Termites be applied outside when raining?
    A

    You should not apply Termidor SC if it is going to rain the same day.  It is best to wait until you have a few days of no rain in the forecast. Termidor SC is made to bond to the soil but it needs time to "set" and bond to hold up against a rain event.

    Q
    Used TermiDor around the foundation of my house. Three hours later had massive down pour.
    Should I re-apply the application?
    A
    Termidor becomes rainfast aproximately 6 hours after it  has been applied. Since you had a massive downpour only 3 hours after your treatment, another application would be recomended.

  • Asked by Joe
    04/26/2011
    Q
    How do I treat soil for termites where mole or gopher tunnels exist?
    After drilling 1/2" holes in the concrete pads which butt up to the foundation of my house, I noticed that I had drilled through some mole or gopher tunnels. If I pour Termidor into the 1/2" holes where the tunnels exist, the product will disperse into the tunnels instead of saturating the soil between the tunnels and the concrete. Any suggestions?
    A
    We think this is actually a good thing, because it is better for the Termidor to spread out underneath the slab if possible so you get better coverage.  If you drilled holes every 10 to 12 inches apart and filled them with the Termidor, then there is most likely gaps between where you drilled the holes.  If the holes go into a void area then the product will spread out.  Also, keep in mind that termites come from deep underground so when they decide they are hungry and go up towards the surface, all that matters is that they walk through the Termidor somewhere, no matter where the treated soil is.  So if you pour the product in the hole and it spreads out, in our eyes there is a better chance that the termites will walk through the Termidor then if the product was only every 10 to 12 inches apart.
