    Q
    How to treat Trench Backfill with Termidor?
    When using Termidor, your site mentions to let the Termidor soak in and dry, then treat the backfill separately when filling back in. However, there are others that backfill the trench when the Termidor is still wet in it (not soaked it) and mix it in when backfilling, so the backfill gets treated with the Termidor already in the trench. Is this method also acceptable?
    A
    After performing your trench with Termidor. Please allow a little bit of time for the product to soak into the soil. Then you can mix in the back fill with whatever Termidor is left in the trench.

    Q
    How would you use this product for a yellow jacket nest or a nest in wall or attic void?
    A
    When using Termidor SC to treat yellow jackets, mix .8fl oz of Termidor SC per gallon of water and treat ONLY the exterior points of the home where you have located the yellow jacket nest. Treat using a low-pressure coarse banded surface spray up to 18 inches in
    width around doors, windows, vents, pipes or any other exterior openings and/or with a crack and crevice injection tip into foundation cracks or drilled holes where listed pests could enter the structure. Inside the home, we recommend using an insecticide dust such as Tempo 1%. You will want to drill holes into walls to access nest and apply dust with a bellow duster such as the B&G Bulb Duster. Termidor SC is a non repellent and will transfer through the colony very effectively.

    Q
    Treating around perforated tiled and white rocked perimeter.
    As we were building our house about 3 years ago, the inspector suggested that we add a second perforated tile (there was already a French Drain 7-8ft deeper at the walk-out basement floor height) right next to the foundation just below the surface (4-12") and fill the whole area with white rock. I really don't want to dig all of this up to apply the Termidor. Can I just trench down into the white rock a few inches and apply the Termidor next to the foundation as usual or do I need to get all the way down to the dirt? If the Termidor worked it way into the perf tile, would it still be effective? The construction is 12" filled block on a mono-slab and there is about 8" of block exposed before any wood, so I think I would see any tunnels if termites were in the area.
    A
    Termidor SC is made to bind to soil molecules. When Termidor SC is put in the ground as a soil treatment, it will last for at least 10 years. Although, it is a little different when it is applied to porous surfaces such as rocks. Porous surfaces will actually absorbe the active ingredient meaning that it would only last a few months. Therefore, we would recommend that you remove the rocks and be sure to treat the soil below according to the label instructions.

    Q
    How far should water well be from house being treated with Termidor?
    A
    You should not apply Termidor SC within 5 feet of any well or cistern. However, soil between 5 and 10 feet from a well or cistern should ONLY be treated by the backfill method for subterranean termites.

    I would like to backfill the application trench it with fresh gravel, is this a good idea?
    A
    No, it is not recommended to backfill the termite trench with rock or gravel. Termidor SC is made to bind to soil molecules which allows it to last for 10 years whereas Termidor applied to porous surfaces such as roack and/or gravel will only last and remain effective for a few months.

    Do not apply Termidor SC within 5 feet of a well or cistern. Treatment within 5 to 10 feet of a well or cistern must be done by backfill method only (removing the dirt to be treated and replacing it after it has been treated elsewhere or in a container such as a wheelbarrow).

    Q
    I found termite in my bathtub. I have no clue how it got there. How to identify and kill?
    When I purchased the home 6 months back, I did termite inspection. No termite found that time. I do not have any termite protection installed. Last week, I found 6 termites found in my bathtub which is located exactly at the center of the house. It is slab house. I do not have any clue from where those termites came to bathtub. Can I install any termite bait inside bathtub drywalls?
    A
    The first thing you need to do is get the termites identified to know exactly what kind you have. You may want to have a local company come out and do an inspection to see if they can find any signs of live colonies in the home. If you do have termites, in the home, the bait sytem would not be used in the walls. You would do a spot treatment with a product like Termidor Foam in the walls, or drill through the floor and slab to treat the soil below it with Termidor SC where the termites are coming up through a crack or around a pipe.

    Q
    Can Termidor SC be used indoor for roaches, and is it safe for my dogs?
    A
    No, Termidor SC should not be applied indoors at all. It is an exterior treatment product only. We do carry Roach Control Kits that are very effective in controlling this type of insect indoors and/or outside. Any of the products mentioned should be applied in the labeled areas when the animals are not in the area until completely dried.

    Q
    I need 4 to 6 bottles of Termidor. How many to a case and is there a case lot discount?
    Besides treating foundation perimeter, have signs of termite activity in two areas of open soil, 9'x18' and 15'x15' where lumber was left on ground. What is recommended to treat those areas? And what quantity?
    A

    There are 4 bottles to a case of Termidor SC. For this particular product there is not a lot discount available but we do offer fast, free shipping! We apologize for any inconvenience. Termidor SC is labeled to treat carton nests only away from the structure. The trench and drilling up against the foundation of the structure is very important. Please refer to our termite treatment article for additional helpful information on mixing and application.

    Q
    Do you treat a pier and beam house any differently?
    My house is pier and beam. Hence there is dirt under the entire house. (ie we have back steps running along 80% of the back of the house... do I trench at the base of the steps or get under the house and luxuriate as I trench in a 2 foot crawl space?)
    A
    To treat pier and beam you would trench around the piers and beams and apply termidor. You would also trench in the crawl space. Please see our article on barrier treatments.

  • Asked by Jennifer from West Monroe, La
    10/18/2014
    Q
    What is the advantage of using Termidor SC versus Suspend SC for killing ants?
    My husband is insistent on using Termidor for our outside ant problem because someone recommended it and wouldn't even consider Suspend. I wanted to know if it was worth the extra $15.
    A

    Suspend SC will only kill the ants that contact a treated surface and would need to be applied every 30 days outside and 90 days inside.  Termidor is the # 1 choice for ant control around the home. Termidor is a non-repellent insecticide that works with a delayed reaction amd also has a transfer effect. That means that ants cannot tell that the Termidor is there and will walk right over it and then pick the product up on their bodies and inadvertently carry it back to the colony, then through normal social interaction the ants spread the Termidor and wipe out the colony.

    Termidor only needs to be applied two times per year and is effective for a wide variety of insects including ants, centipedes, roaches, spiders, silverfish, wasps and many other nuisance insects. You will need to apply Termidor SC 1-2 ft up the foundation and 1-2 ft out onto the ground, around door frames, window frames, places where cables, pipes or wires go through the wall and any other crack or crevice where the ants can gain entry into your home.

    You cannot use Termidor inside for ant control so Suspend would be the better product if you needed to treat inside.

    Q
    Can I use Termidor outside and inside my house for spiders as well as other bugs?
    A
    While Termidor can be used outside the home around the foundation for spiders and other general pests, it is not allowed to be used indoors. If you would like a product you can used indoros and out that works well on spiders and other pests, you could go with a product like Cyonara 9.7. Its a great, long lasting product thats safe to be used and can be used not only inside but also out in the yard where Termidor is restricted, and can be sprayed more than twice a year where as the Termidor cannot. Cyonara is a concentrate you will mix with water and it dries clear and is safe for kids and pets once dry.

  • Asked by Marcus from San Diego, Ca
    10/23/2014
    Q
    Does Termidor kill grubs?
    A
    Termidor SC is not labeled to control grubs and is also not allowed to be used in the yard for any pest. If you are having a problem with grubs in your yard you would either use a product like Dylox Granules if the infestation is current, or use a product like Merit Granules in the spring to prevent grubs from being a problem throughout the year. This time of year is not a good time to treat for grubs as they will be going deeper into the soil soon and will no longer be feeding on your lawn. They must be feeding actively in order for either the Dylox or the Merit to work and most people only see very limited and partial control when trying to treat for grubs this time of year. You can follow the instructions on the product labels to see how to apply the products to your property.

    A
    Termidor SC is only labeled to be applied around the outside perimeter of structures. You want to spray 1-2 feet up and out around the foundation. After the treated area has completely dried, it is safe for people and pets to re enter the area.

    Q
    I have an upstairs garage apartment. One of the walls has dirt, other walls have cement.
    The cement butts right up to the walls of the garage. What would be he best way to treat dry and sub. termites.
    A
    We would recommend doing a perimeter treatment around the structure if it is possible. You will dig a 6 by 6 inch trench around the garage. You will use 4 gallons of Termidor SC per 10 lineal feet. For drywood termites, you will need to treat the exact area where they are. You would need to drill holes into the structure where they were found and inject it into the wood directly. Also, if you know where the actual termites are, Termidor SC is only limited to the area where the active infestation is.

    Q
    Why can Termidor only be applied twice per year?
    A
    Termidor can only be applied 2 times per year due to Label and EPA regulations because Termidor has been shown to leach into the soil and can stay active in the soil for at least 10 years.
