  • Asked by Dorean from Temple

    Q
    We have millipedes bad! What methods would you use with Termidor SC to get rid of them?
    They are getting into my basement, and my building, they're all over my driveway, and all over my Foundation! It's driving us crazy!
    A

    Termidor SC can only be applied outside around the foundation 1 to 2 feet up and out for general pest control but you would not treat on porous surfaces such as a driveway.. We do have a guide here that can help for getting rid of millipedes.  For areas further out in the yard and around the perimeter edges of the driveway you can use something like Talstar P.

    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
    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.

    Q
    Is Termidor SC safe to apply in an opened interior wall?
    We had treated and killed a termite infestation in May, and just recently began to repair the termite damage. When we took off the drywall to begin repairs, we found a colony of living termites. Is it safe to apply termidor and cover the open wall with a plastic sheet?
    A
    Termidor SC is safe to apply as a spot treatment in voids. You can apply to an open wall and us a plastic sheet to cover while you are allowing the treatment to dry. You must then seal the open wall back up.

    Q
    Can I spray Termidor SC on exposed wall studs inside a detached garage that is rarely used?
    We are trenching outside and wanted to spray the inside studs. Is this dangerous?
    A

    Termidor SC is only labeled for use on inside wall voids.  So that would not be the best product for your needs in this case.  I would recommend Bora Care for those exposed wall studs.

    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.

    Q
    Do I need a new sprayer to use Termidor SC?
    I have problem of carpenter ants and bought Termidor SC from local DIY pest store and the guy at the store told me that I would need a new sprayer dedicated to Termidor SC. Is that correct?
    A

    While Termidor SC is a non repellent insecticide and most others are repellent, as long as you are thoroughly rinsing the sprayer between products it should be fine.  We would recommend triple rinsing all parts of the sprayer before changing products.

  • Asked by Virginia from United States
    03/20/2015
    Q
    Is it possible to have termite damage and not ever see a live termite when doing repairs?
    While remodeling my laundry room and living room we found termite damage. There were no live termites only their trails and the damage in both rooms. I've got pest control to come out and treat home. My question is, is it possible for termites to damage only 2 rooms and then disappear completely? Also we had bats in our attic, but got rid of them in Sept. 2013, could the bats have eaten the termites?
    A
    It is very possible that there may have been a colony there at one time, or that it has moved somewhere else in the structure. You want to contact an exterminating company in your area to do an inspection. Normally, no charge. They will be able to tell you if you have termites and what species. Once we know, we can make an effective treatment plan.

    Q
    How do I apply Termidor SC against black widow and brown recluse spiders?
    We found black widow and brown recluse in our garage, how to I apply Termidor SC in order to be effective? Do I spray around the walls and corners or is there another way?
    A

    Termidor SC may be used outdoors only for spider control, per the product label. We do have a great Spider Control Kit that includes CB-80 Aerosol Insecticide for contact spraying, and Temprid SC, which can be applied indoors as a crack and crevice or spot treatment. This kit also contains glue boards, which are excellent tools for monitoring and for catching stray spiders indoors. Please see our Spider Treatment Article for more information and tips about preventing spider infestations.

    Q
    What's your opinion on the best approach for termite control, the Bait Systems, Termiticide liquid, or both?
    A
    The most superior treatment hands down for termites is a liquid foundation treatment.  This is because the point of the treatment is to completely surround your home.  You should follow the instructions as outlined in our How To Do A Termite Treatment Article.

  • Asked by Virginia from Hampton, Va
    10/27/2011
    Q
    Do I have to drill and treat the wall where the attached garage meets the house?
    House is on slab with attached garage. Also wondering about wood deck directly up against house. Do I treat around deck or have to remove boards up against house so I can treat soil directly against concrete slab?
    A
    The goal is to treat against the foundation around the entire house.  So yes, you should drill the slab in the garage just as if it was a patio slab up against the foundation.  Also, if you are lucky enough to have the boards on your deck running parallel to the house, then you should remove the first 2 or 3 runs so you can trench the ground beneath the deck up against the house.  This does mean a little extra work, but it is the right way to treat your home for termites. Termidor would be a great product to apply.

  • Asked by Rocio from Rogers
    05/10/2021
    Q
    Is Termidor SC safe to use around kids?
    Do I need to wear personal protective equipment when doing this job?
    A

    As long as you keep pets/children out of the area while you treat and until the Termidor SC application has had time to completely dry or settle it is safe for pets and people to return and resume normal activity.  Typically after 4-6 hours. Please be sure to read the product label to get complete information on the needed personal protective safety gear you will need. In most situations, it is recommended that you wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, closed toe shoes with socks, chemical resistant gloves and goggles. In areas where ventilation is poor a manufacturer may recommend you wear a mask or a respirator. We have put together 2 different safety kits that will make selecting correct safety gear easier for you.

    Q
    Soaking the foundation
    I need run a series of soaker hoses around my house to adequately soak the foundation asap, however, i did just notice a bit of termite infestation in one area of my house. What is my best course of action here?
    A

    Termidor SC would be used to directly spot treat the active infestation by drilling into the infested wood and spraying into the gallery directly.  You would also want to apply in a trench around the home.  We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.
