    Q
    Is Termidor SC soil treatment safe for pregnancy?
    A

     Termidor SC, when used as directed, is safe to use with people inside the home and you do not have to evacuate anyone from the premises.  It should be perfectly safe for a pregnant woman since you will be treating outside.

  • Asked by Chris from Navarre, Florida

    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
    08/22/2013
    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.

    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.

    Q
    If I am understanding correctly, I would use the Bora-Care to treat the wood inside the house. Then I would use the Termidor SC to treat the ground outside?
    A
    Termidor SC is a liquid treatment for the soil outside and will be poured in the trench first.
    Bora-Care is a wood treatment product that is great for drywood termites. Please read the article below for additional information on treating termites yourself.

  • Asked by Alex from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl
    09/26/2013
    Q
    What is the best product for a barrier treatment for ants in FL?
    A
    We would recommend applying Termidor SC on the outside of the structure 1 ft up and 1 ft out once every six months as a barrier. Termidor SC also acts as a liquid bait so it will transfer back to the colony and spread throughout the colony. Talstar P (Talstar One) can be applied in other areas around your property where you are not treating with the Termidor SC. Talstar P can be applied monthly outdoors and every 3 months inside cracks and crevices. We also carry a Complete Ant Kit that works very well for ants. It offers them a sweet feeding bait and a protein granular that they consume and share amongst each other.

    Q
    How do I treat areas where the foundation is covered by concrete?
    A

    We recommend that you trench the areas where there is soil and drill 10-12" apart and inject the solution into those areas. You will disperse the same amount of finished solution in the drilled holes as you would the trench, 4 gallons of solution every 10 lineal feet.

    Q
    NEW HOME FDN, have 264 lf of footings 24" wide @.8 oz per gallon i figure 4.4 bottles.
    remainder of house is 2700 sq ft. per answer on page 221 says 10 sq feet per gallon which is 250 sq feet per bottle and would be 11 bottles to treat area under slab. thanks need to order next week if this correct.
    A
    When building a structure you should apply Termidor to the entire area under where you are going to pour the slab.  You should apply Termidor 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. Your calculations seem to be accurate based on the treatments you will perform. Please let us know if you need anything else 866.581.7378.

    Q
    Termidor Question
    Hello: I would like to do a termidor termite treatment to my house. I have a brick house on hollow block concrete foundation with a termite shield flashing between the concrete and brick. Trenching would be a pain in the ass. If I drill into the blocks every foot and inject 0.4 gallons of termidor solution into each hole, will this sufficienty protect my house? What tool should I use to inject the termidor, just a rgular sprayer or a foaming one?
    A
    It is very important to trench each side of the hollow blocks, even more important than drilling into each block to inject the Termidor solution. The problem is that the termites will be still be able to build tubes on the outer areas of the blocks and still access your home. Your treatments will be far more successfull if you trench and treat on either side of the hollow block. PLease let u sknow if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Bryce from Maricopa, Az

    Q
    What is the procedure for drilling termite holes into post tension foundations?
    A
    If your slab has already been poured and the tension applied, there is no drilling that needs to be done unless you have already poured a driveway/garage/sidewalk up to the side of the foundation. Once the slab has been poured, your termite protection will be to do a trench treatment like is explained in our guide How To Do a Termite Treatment, and shown in the video both on that page and the product page for the Termidor product you use to treat with.

    Q
    Trim around exterior post on concrete slab has termite damage.
    How should i treat the post to eliminate termite? Likely footing under the slab to support the post. Pro inspection showed no signs of termites in other areas.
    A
    To treat a post, you need to trench around the post and pour the mixed Termidor SC solution directly into the soil. Termidor binds to soil and will kill any active infestation in the post and remain in the soil for 10 years. You can also spot spray and treat the trim on the post directly.
