  • Asked by Gary from Kansas
    09/23/2013
    Q
    I have found termites in my garage. This is a "detached" garage that was built right next to the house.
    The garage is on a slab. Can I apply Termidor around the perimeter of the garage, or do I have to drill holes? I have not found termites in the house, It is about 110 years old. Just in the garage, which is quite a bit newer.
    A
    We always recommend performing a complete barrier treatment around the structure.  You watch complete instructions here in our video.

    Q
    Can I spray/ broadcast or foam an attic for drywood termites in CA?
    Does termidor soak into the attic member wood?
    A
    No, Termidor SC is not applied inside the structure as a spray or broadcast application. It can be mixed with ProFoam and applied using a PolyFoamer for voided areas (spot treat only-see product label for specific application instructions). Termidor SC is not a wood treatment product. 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 Valarie from Laplace, Louisiana
    10/10/2013
    Q
    Can I use Termidor SC if I put down something for carpenter ants and termites?
    I found active termites and had some spectracide Termite and carpenter ant killer in ready to use bottle so I dumped the whole thing across a 15 ft. area. I did not dig out any dirt before dumping, I just dumped. Can I still use the termidor? This was about a month ago that I poured the stuff on the ground. I also needed to know how these commercial companys make such neat trenches, do you have any suggestions?
    A
    We recommend that you check the product label of the product that was previously used in that area for the length of time of the residual prior to applying any product in that area. You may also call the manufacturer of the product for the information.

  • Asked by Gayle from Tiffin, Oh
    11/30/2013
    Q
    I have a block house. We know there was past subterranian termite activity.
    I am suspecting some new activity around a window in the bathroom. What is my best route of attack? I thought about drilling at every block cavity around the perimeter just below the floor joists.-- The joists go directly into the block. -Then using Termidor SC in the cavities. I'm told the termites will make their home in the bottom of the block and may stay dormant for years there. If I do this, how long before I will have to do it again? Or should I do the cavities and do a trench outside?
    A

    When treating a block foundation, you should drill a hole in each void so there would be 2 holes per block.  The holes should be no more than 18 inches high.  Usually you want to drill on the second row of blocks high from the ground.  In addition to drilling the holes, you should also trench and treat the outside foundation wall and the inside foundation wall if you have a crawl space.  After drilling the holes, you are supposed to apply 2 gallons of solution per 10 lineal feet into the blocks.  For filling trenches and drill holes going vertically into slabs, you should apply 4 gallons per 10 lineal feet.  Please let us know if you have any further questions.

  • Asked by Jonathan from San Jose Ca
    01/12/2014
    Q
    Is Termidor SC safe to spray outdoor?
    To spray outdoor of home. What if there's plants bushes around house, can I spray along the perimeter of that?....
    A
    Termidor SC should have no effect on plants that are inadvertently sprayed with the product. It is important to read and follow the Termidor SC product label which states that you can only treat one foot up from and one foot out from where the ground meets the structure. The label also recommends that you remove or prune away plants, shrubs or tree branches that touch the structure. Vegetation that comes into contact with the structure may offer a route of entry for the ants allowing them to enter the structure without ever having come into contact with the treated area.

    Q
    I have dry wood termites in a live tree and want to try to rid the tree of tremites. What is the best product?
    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.

  • Asked by Travis from Olympia, Wa
    02/18/2014
    Q
    I recently got rid of terminex, what should I use as a perimeter/band treatment?
    They were using something with IMIDACLOPRID, CYFLUTHRIN 0.075%
    A
    By far our most popular liquid Termiticide is Termidor SC with Fipronil active ingredient. For termites, you want to dig a 6inx6in trench all the around the perimeter of the structure. Please see our Termidor Application instructions on the product page.  If you are wanting to use a product for general pest control Talstar is always a great product that covers many different pest and can be applied outdoors and indoors. Let us know if you have any more questions.

  • Asked by Dale from Fort Myers, Fl
    04/21/2014
    Q
    How much damage can termites do in one year?
    I have baited my house for termites and it says that it could take from 6 to 24 months to kill the colony. I need to know if I need to do something else, so I need to know how much damage they can do in the 6 to 24 month period.
    A
    Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to say how much damage can be done in a year because it depends on the size of the colony. However, termite damage is normally not very fast. For your situation we would recommend performing an in ground soil treatment with a product like Termidor or Fuse. These two products when performed correctly will most likely kill the entire colony within 90 days.

    Q
    Applying along garden bed
    I have a few rose bushes along one side of the house (2 feet away and I don't think the roots will be a problem i.e alow for a breach) I want to trench right up against the house however will constant watering over time make the solution ineffective (dilute)? Thank you
    A
    If you do a trench around the foundation of the home with the Termidor, you would need to let it dry for at least 24-48 hours after applying before any form of rain or irrigation. Once the Termidor has dried completely it will be there for at least 10-15 years protecting the home and watering of your plants next to the home will not dilute it or make it inneffective.

    Q
    What procedure do I use when concrete steps are in the way of drilling Termidor treatment holes?
    Steps for entering house are in the way for drilling perimeter of concrete patio for Termidor. Is it okay to keep the recommended hole pattern and drill around the concrete steps. Steps protrude away from house 3 feet and this is the site of known termites.
    A
    The steps should be drilled as well to apply the Termidor SC if possible. We recommend that you drill the holes 10-12" apart and disperse 4 gallons of finished solution every 10 lineal feet.
