  • Asked by Samuel from Greenwich, Nj

    Q
    Should I use Termidor SC to treat dirt in the crawl space under my kitchen floor?
    I know that I have termites since they destroyed the joists and flooring in my kitchen, but what do I use to treat the dirt in the crawl space? I'll probably be buying Bora-Care to treat all of the wood that I can see under the crawl space.
    A

    If you have subterranean termites, you should perform a termite trenching treatment outside the structure and in the crawl space in accordance with our Subterranean Termite Treatment Guide with a non-repellent termiticide such as Termidor SC. Just spraying insecticide on the surface of the dirt will not help and is not an approved or appropriate use.

    Q
    What is an equivalent to Termidor SC that can be shipped to New York State?
    I am looking for the best pesticide for spraying around the perimeter of the house to eliminate ants in upstate NY.
    A

    Unfortunately, there really is not a product that has the same active ingredient as Termidor SC for ant control that we are able to ship to New York.  An excellent non-repellent insecticide for ant control in New York is Arilon Insecticide.

  • Asked by Jeffrey from San Antonio, Tx
    05/14/2016
    Q
    Can Termidor SC be applied on grass in the yard for fire ant treatments?
    A

    Termidor SC cannot be applied on the grass in the lawn for treating any insects including fire ants. It is labeled for applications up against the structure for other ant species and crawling insects as well as in the soil for termite applications. It is not labeled for treating fire ants. We do carry products that can be applied for control of fire ants. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Fire Ants for more details.

  • Asked by Michael from Connecticut

    Q
    How do you treat areas for termites that are decked against the home at ground level?
    we have a deck in the suspected area that is 10 inches off the ground with no access underneat making it impossible to trench
    A

    You can either drill into the deck to get to the soil underneath, or you may need to remove the plank or two closest to the structure so be able to treat the soil.

    Q
    How often should you spray Termidor SC as a normal pest control?
    I had our house treated for termites last year an was told it is great for normal pest control. I was wondering how often I should spray it around the house for ants, spiders ect. Around the base of the house an on the stucco of the house.
    A

    Termidor SC can be applied twice a year (1 ft up and 1 ft out) up against the structure for a pest control barrier at 0.8 oz per gallon of water. It can be applied four times a year at 0.4 fl oz per gallon of water in the same area.

  • Asked by Pete from Huntington Beach, Ca
    02/14/2017
    Q
    Can I spray Termidor SC on my palm trees to kill spider mites?
    A

    Termidor SC can only be applied around the foundation of your home or other building structure for control of ants and other listed insects. You cannot use the product out on or around the trees or fences because it is not labeled for this type of application. We recommend using our most popular product for spider mites, Talstar P. Talstar P is known to have a pretty good miticide effect for these plant-infesting pests. When Talstar P is over-used the mites are known to build up a resistance to the active ingredient. The other choices would be to use a Horticultural Oil or an insecticidal soap. Both of these products work best when they make direct contact with the pest and both products are known to cause discoloration to spruce trees. The pro to using one of these products is that spider mites cannot build up a resistance to them.

  • Asked by Michael from Mebane, Nc

    Q
    Where is the best place to spray Termidor, on my brick foundation, the grass, or between the two?
    My house is on a cement/brick slab.
    A

    Termidor SC is applied 1 ft up and 1 ft out directly up against the foundation for a crawling insect barrier 2-4 times per year depending on the rate used (see product label for complete mixing instructions). If treating for subterranean termites, the product is applied in a 6 X 6 trench and in drilled holes up against the foundation. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Termites for more detailed information on a successful eradication program.

    Q
    How do I treat a tree with termites in it?
    A

    Termidor SC is a great option for fire ants inside of a tree. There are two options that you have when applying this product. It can either be done as a drench around the tree or you will inject the product directly into the termite cartons. The rate is 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water.

    Please check out the Supplemental Document that explains how to do treatments.

  • Asked by Veronica from Bowie, Md
    03/24/2017
    Q
    What can I use to treat an active termite infestation inside my home? Why can Termidor SC not be used inside?
    A

    Termidor SC can be used for small spot treatments indoors if you know exactly where the termite infestation is and can treat it directly. If you are unsure of where the infestation is and would like to treat indoors, Phantom Termiticide would be a good option.

  • Asked by Madoka
    04/23/2017
    Q
    Is it possible to prevent ants from going inside the house by just using Termidor SC outside?
    Ants are climbing up the wall from the balcony of the lower floor (not part of our house) and they are coming in our balcony as well as inside our house through the windows. I understand that the Termidor SC kills the colony but I wanted to know if the Termidor SC will prevent the ants from coming inside the house if I spray this outside. Should I be adding other sprays such as, Talster P or Cy Kick inside the house? Will this reduce the ants coming inside the house? Also, I used Ortho Home Defense two weeks ago but will this reduce the effect of the Termidor SC? Thank you.
    A

    Termidor SC is what we call a non-repellent, which means the insects - in this case, ants - do not detect the application, plus the active ingredient kills slowly enough that the ants do not die until they've had time to pass along the active ingredient to all the other ants they contact during their regular activities. If you apply Termidor SC as directed, then any ant colonies that contact that barrier will be killed. If you are already seeing trails of ants inside your home, then we would recommend using products like those in our Indoor Ant Kit to insure those colonies are taken care of, as well. Our Ant Treatment Guide has additional tips for treating this nuisance pest.

  • Asked by Doug from New York

    Q
    What's the best way to apply Termidor SC in drilled holes in concrete?
    my driveway is attached to my house and connected to my stoop, which if I look in my basement is where I've seen mud trails; right underneath my stoop in the double 2x4 sill plate. Ok going to apply termidor sc with a trench on the other areas but my question is after I drill the holes in the slab which I hear is every foot, how do I apply the product? Do I just pour it in? And how much? And also how deep does the drill have to go into the ground?
    A

    Termidor SC can be applied in drilled holes every 10-12 inches by using a funnel or a sprayer set on a pin stream setting.  The hole needs to drilled deep enough to apply 1/2 gallon of finished solution to each hole.

  • 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.
