  • Asked by Humberto from Santa Ana Ca

    Q
    Can we spray Termidor SC inside an attic?
    A
    Termidor SC is not labeled to be used indoors unless you are using inside wall voids and are treating an active infestation. If you are unsure of what type of termites you are treating for, we would recommend getting them identified before doing any type of treatments.

    Q
    Does Termidor SC kill/prevent formosan termites?
    A
    Termidor SC will kill any termites that come into contact with the treated surfaces and will carry it back to their nests. Depending on where the termite infestation is will depend on how the Termidor will need to be applied to eliminate the colony and abide by the usage instructions on the label.

    Q
    drain board
    My foundation has "dimple drain board" in this case W.R. Meadows "Mel Drain." It would seem that the treatment would run down the drain to the drain tile. How do you suggest I treat without this happening?
    A
    When applying Termidor SC, it is recommened to wait till it has not rained for 24 hours before application and will not rain for 24 hrs after application. If Termidor SC has been able to dry for 24 hours it has had plenty of time to bond to the soil and would not go through fabric and into the drainage channel. Please contact us directly Mon-Fri 9am-5pm EST if you have any further questions.

    Q
    Can Termidor SC be applied more than 48 hours before a preconstruction slab is poured?
    What is the recommended time frame to treat preconstruction slabs with termidor SC?
    A
    Termidor SC needs atleast 24 hours to bond to soil before pouring a concrete slab. You should apply Termidor SC at the rate of 1 gallon per 10 square feet.  You should apply slightly more around the perimeter edges and around any plumbing pipes or expansion joints that will be in the slab.

    Q
    We have termites in our palm trees, how and can we treat them?
    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 SCwould 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.

    You would use 0.8 oz of Termidor SC per gallon of water. You would then use 4 gallons of diluted solution per 10 linear feet of trench. You may read over our Termite Treatment Guide for further assistance.

  • Asked by Jeff
    12/23/2014
    Q
    Does this product work on drywood termites?
    A

     For Termidor SC to work on Drywood termites, you have to drill directly into the piece of wood the termites are in and inject Termidor into the wood.  Termidor does not penetrate into wood, so you have to inject it into the center.  It has to touch the termites to work, but the benefit is that it only has to contact a few termites, and then they can pass it on to the rest of the colony. 

    For Drywood termite treatments on wood, we recommend applying a product called Bora-Care. This product is applied to raw wood and penetrates further than any other product.

  • Asked by Art from Corpus Christi,texas
    01/05/2015
    Q
    What is the best product for controlling ghost ants
    A
    The most effective way to get rid of ants will be to use a product that will not only kill the ants that actually come into contact with treated surfaces but will also be transferred back to the nest. There are a variety of liquid concentrates that work with a transfer effect such as Termidor SC, Taurus SC, Dominion 2L and Adonis 2F. All of these products are for use outdoors only and should be sprayed directly on or immediately adjacent to the structure for ant control (they cannot be used indoors and they cannot be broadcast sprayed outdoors and they cannot be used on edible vegetation). You can also use ant baits indoors and outdoors for ghost ant control. Ant Baits will be picked up by the foraging ants and carried back to the nesting area and shared. Most folks choose to use a combination of products. They use ant baits indoors and in sensitive areas and they use the liquid concentrates outdoors

    Q
    Termidor: Shelf life? Solut. shelf life? Unhealthy for men if used indoor or crowl space? Protects 10 years???
    Dry wood termite activity suspected inside chimny framing; dry wood and sub t. activity spotted in the crowl spase... The house built - finaliyed in 2005... The building 'completely wrapped' with vinil siding... Ground covered up to the walls 90% around...
    A
    If stored in a cool dry area, Termidor will last 3-5 years. You want to be sure to use any mixed solutions within 24 hours of mixing. Termidor is meant to be applied indoors as spot treatment only. It is recommended to perform the same 6inx6in trench in the crawspace as around the outside perimeter. Was the solution is applied into the trench it will bond with the soil and last up to ten years. You may want to consider if possible injecting a foam like Alpine Foam into the areas where you have seen the drywood termites. Please visit our guides and tips for Termite control.

  • Asked by Rita from Mesa, Az
    01/12/2015
    Q
    How do I get rid of indoor termites?
    I have found through research that a rarely used Powder Room in our home has many termite (tunnels) hanging from the ceiling. At first they looked like little pin holes. Now they look like underground caverns. I desperately need to get rid of these and then move on to the large amount of tunnels around the outer perimeter of my 13 year old home. Help!!!!! I can not afford Professional Services.
    A
    We would recommend that you apply a termite treatment in the soil surrounding the structure to form a continuous barrier that will kill and prevent subterranean termites from entering your home. A termite soil treatment will kill the termites that are inside of your home as well as the termite colony and queen that is outside of your home in the ground. Please read over our Subterranean Termite Treatment Guide for detailed treatment instructions. If you have further questions please call our customer service department at 866-581-7378.

    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 Jeff from Snellville, Ga
    01/19/2015
    Q
    How to treat home with full basement, brick siding, and hollow block wall with solid cap?
    One side of basement hollow block wall is almost completely under ground (7 feet). Brick does not go underground on that side but does on the other sides. Half of the basement is finished so there is no access to the hollow block walls in that section which includes half the wall that is almost completely underground. My house was built in 1982 and at some point block walls were drilled as was the attached garage slab. I have owned for 20 years. What should my trench goal be? Should I be concerned with creating a 1-foot deep barrier or do I attempt to reach the footing 7 feet below the surface? The finished portion of basement has drop tile ceiling and every year I inspect and find no termite evidence. But we do have termites in wood pile which is 60 feet from house.
    A
    First, please review our Barrier treatment article.   You still want to trench 6inx6in all the around the perimeter. You do not have to reach the footer. In places you cannot trench you would drill every 12 in using a 18 in long 1/2 inch wide drill bit. It is fantastic that you keep up with your inspections. Unfortunantly, many areas of the U.S. are prone to termites. It is very common to find termites out in the yard. The best way to protect your home from termites would be with this barrier treatment using Termidor SC. Once in the soil Termidor will bind with it and last up to 10 years. Each 20 oz bottle will give you 60 feet of trenching.

    Q
    Advantage = fipronil +imadocloprid. Is this true?
    I read in our local paper that Advantage flea products are made with fipronil and imadocloprid. The author bought a gallon of each from you and mixed it according to instructions supplied with the product. If this is all true I am very interested in doing the same thing for my pets. I have two small dogs and four cats.
    A
    We apologize but none of the products we carry with those active ingredients are labeled to be used to make your own flea products.  We have actually been in touch with that website to have our information removed from their site as it is very misleading.  Products must be used following the instructions on the product labels. We do carry several products for use on pets for fleas though and they can be found here.

    Q
    if im using termidor sc in my tank and want to use termidor 80 WG later do i need to clean and purge my tank?
    I know they make the same chemical solution when mixed with water. But I know the 80 WG bonds better to surfaces and don't want to dilute the chemical.
    A
    We would recommend cleaning out your tank fully after using any type of insectide. This will prevent it from clogging and the parts wearing out.

    Q
    I have termites inside my 32' sailboat, can I apply Termidor and how?
    Termites are eating the inside wood of my boat.
    A

    Termidor SC is really designed to be used outdoors. Boracare would be best. The interior wood pieces that are exposed will have to be stripped prior to the application if they are painted or stained. The manufacturer has told us that Boracare is not corrosive and it should not harm the interior of the fiberglass that touches the wood. For more information you may want to contact Nisus directly by calling 800-264-0870

  • Asked by Audrey from Dallas,texas
    02/02/2015
    Q
    Ants coming in from outside?
    A
    Do you know the exact species? There are no known resistance species of ant to Termidor so it would work to kill any ant colony. However, Termidor can not be used in any indoor space unless you are doing a direct spot treatment in a regularly unaccessible area on the whole colony. If you see an area they are trailing you could try either Termidor Foam to use in the galleries you think they are hiding in as this form of termidor has a broader label in where it can be used; or you can try the Complete Ant Kit and use a bait that they would take back to feed to the colony. You will want to check around your home for where the ants could have come in to either seal off these areas or cut back any bushes and trees that touch the home and use a general barrier spray regularly to keep them away in the future. Talstar would be a great easy to use and safe option for a barrier spray.
