  • Asked by Eric from Orlando, Fl
    12/18/2018
    Q
    I plan to drill holes in concrete every 12 inches to apply Termidor where I cannot trench. What is the best equipment to use?
    A

    When appling Termidor SC into drilled holes in concrete, we would recommend using a 5 gallon bucket to mix 4 gallons of mixture (3.2 fl oz per 4 gallons of water/10 ft of drilled holes), and then using funnels for pouring in drilled holes (12” apart) evenly.

    Q
    How soon can I hose off when Termidor SC has been applied to concrete?
    Just had full treatment around house, can I hose concrete area to clean up or do I have to wait? If so how long?
    A

    Termidor SC is rainfast after 6 hours.  We would recommend waiting 24 hours before hosing off the concrete areas where it was applied to ensure maximum efficacy.

  • Asked by Ron from Port Saint Lucie, Fl
    03/01/2019
    Q
    How do I treat a severe ant problem?
    A

    Termidor SC is the # 1 choice for ant control around the outside of your home. Termidor SC is a non-repellent insecticide that also has a transfer effect. That means that ants cannot tell that the Termidor SC is there and will walk right over it and then pick the product up on their bodies and inadvertantly carry it back to the colony, then through normal social interaction the ants spread the Termidor SC and wipe out the colony. Termidor SC 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.

    When it comes to indoor ants, there are many different types of ants, you can check out our Ant Control Guide for information on identifying the particular ants you're dealing with, along with information on treatment and prevention.  For treatment of most indoor ants, we would recommend our Indoor Ant Control Kit.

    Q
    I see that Termidor is recommended for outdoor use only, but can this be used for indoor while under construction?
    The house is framed and bricked only. Can this be sprayed in the interior wall cavities and attic space prior drywall or insulation?
    A

    Termidor SC would only be applied inside if using to spot treat an active infestation per the product label.  It cannot be used for prevention inside.

    Q
    If Termidor SC was sprayed on a rug, how long till I can use the rug in the house?
    If the rug is on the floor, after it is dry, is it safe for pets to walk, lay on?
    A

    Termidor SC is not labeled to be sprayed on rugs or carpets. We would recommend disposing of the rug. If you choose not to dispose of the rug, you may contact the manufacturer for information on how to clean it so it can be used indoors again.

  • Asked by Steve from Springfield, Ma
    05/22/2019
    Q
    How long after a treatment with Termidor SC does a carpenter bee take to die?
    Sprayed a surface and carpenter bee landed on it. How long will it take for that bee to die?
    A

    Termidor SC contains an intentionally slower-acting active ingredient, so it may take several hours or longer for an insect to die after contacting a surface treated with this product. Exact timing will depend on the size and health of the insect as well as how much active ingredient it picked up. Please refer to our Carpenter Bee Treatment Guide for tips on how best to manage this pest.

  • Asked by Soliman from Tennessee
    07/14/2019
    Q
    How can I dig a 6x6 trench fast when treating with Termidor SC?
    I dug a trench ith a pick axe about 80 feet out of 210 and it took me 4 hours then there was unexpected rain, so I filled the trench back up. I have a tiller that can dig a 6 inch wide trench. Can I use a tiller? All videos and information online shows only the use of manual tools to dig
    A

    When getting ready to treat with Termidor SC and digging a trench, you can use whatever equipment you have at your disposal as long as you're able to safely trench the perimeter of your home. Also, when trenching and if it rains, you could use a tarp to cover up the area to protect what's already been done.

    Q
    Should plumbing chases be treated with Termidor SC where the pipes penetrate the ground?
    My house is a single story with a concrete slab on grade foundation and has interior plumbing chases easily accessible through access panels. When a panel is opened, I can see the water and sewer pipes going directly into the untreated soil below. Should the exposed soil in these cavities be sprayed or soaked as part of the treatment process? Does Termidor give off dangerous gases?
    A

    If you are able to access the soil around the pipes, yes, it would be recommended to treat the top few inches with Termidor SC around them.    There is no harmful fumes released.

    Q
    Termidor to Kill houseflies
    Outside dumpster at apartment building, will this product be useful for treatment for killing the houseflies?
    A
    Termidor SC is not labeled for use anywhere outdoors, except around the perimeter of structures. We recommend using a fly bait like Maxforce Fly Spot bait. This product can be sprayed or painted on the outside of the dumpsters. Flies will be attracted to the bait and die within seconds. A small spot has up to a 6-week residual to control future intruders.

    Q
    I have termites build mudtubes from cement basement floor up 7ft cement wall to wood floor - best way to treat
    Is there an above ground bait system I can put in the path of the tubes or can i spray a liquid directly on concrete and tubes. Or do i need to drill holes in floor for bait station or liquid?
    A
    Since the termites already have an active infestation baiting will not be helpful. You can direct treat the wood that is infested with product like Boracare. You can also trench and treat around the area where the mud tubes enter into the home using Termdor. You may want to give us a call for a more specific treatment program by calling 866-581-7378 M-F 9-5 EST.

    Q
    How effective is Termidor SC against termites? Is it easy to apply Termidor SC?
    A
    Termidor SC is very effective in treating termites in the soil and lasts longer than any other liquid concentrate labeled for termites. Treating with Termidor SC can be easy but requires a lot of labor when trenching and drilling. Please read the following article by clicking on the link on How to Perform Your Own Termite Treatment for step by step instructions.

  • Asked by Sean from Susanville, Ca

    Q
    Should I spray the INSIDE of the foundation under the house for ants?
    Ants are invading the kitchen and I believe that they are coming from underneath the house, inside on the corner of the foundation. I saw them on the outside and sprayed the perimeter of the house, but they keep coming. Should we spray in cracks under the cabinets or under the foundation in the house? If I can spray under the house, how should I dilute it?
    A
    It is very posssible that the main colony is in a void under the home and the main colony has yet to be effected by the application. You can reapply under the home and in the void areas to get rid of the ants once and for all.

    Q
    What can I use to inject Termidor SC below slab, where it is not possible to trench (after I drill concrete)?
    A
    Termidor SC can be applied in drilled holes. You will drill 10-12 inches apart. You would mix the solution into a 5 gallon bucket and pour into funnels (these can be purchased locally). This will allow the product to reach the soil. It is recommended to disperse 4 gallons of finished solution every 10 lineal feet.

  • Asked by Patti from Ridgeway Sc
    09/17/2013
    Q
    Is it ok, that the exterminator used Termidor to control Argentine ants around the foundation?
    A
    Termidor SC is a terrific treatment for Argentine ants! The ants crawl through the treated area, not knowing that by ingesting treated materials or merely contacting the insecticide, they'll die. Termidor is unique because ants not directly exposed to the Termidor-treated area will be controlled as they come into contact with affected ants. This Transfer Effect means you'll see its effects on ants in one to three days, and most species will be controlled within the first week following the treatment.

  • Asked by Ed
    09/24/2013
    Q
    I just found a termite colony under my house in my crawl space? I want to use the strongest Termidor solution.
    A

    Termidor SC is a great choice for termite treatments. It lasts 10+ years in the soil if applied as directed. I have included a termite article below for additional information on treating around your structure. If you are going to be treating the wood in the crawlspace, we recommend that you apply Bora-Care if treating for drywood termites.
