  • Asked by Brandi from Gonzales Louisiana

    Q
    I noticed a termite line in between windows of a home. Is Termidor SC a good product to treat this?
    It is on the interior of the home where I noticed the lines that look very similar to ant beds. My husband and I own our own business remodeling foreclosed homes and I've seen numerous amount of termites and termite indications before to know what it is. However when I told my grandfather that is what it was and to call a pest control company. The pest control company after looking for maybe 5 minutes on a nearly 2500 sq ft house determined he didn't see any termites and there was no need for worry. However I pointed out to him the spot I first noticed and it's when he said oh this gives me concern and then wanted to have my grandpa pay 1500.00 for a treatment. I said NO! My grandfather assumes I talked the man into saying he has them however I'm positive it is what I saw. So, he's wanting to do a self treatment however we are not sure which product to use considering we are not sure which type of termites he has. Termidor SC or Domininon 2L....please give me your suggestions so we can go from here and purchase. THANKS in advance for your much needed expertise in this matter.
    A
    Termidor SC and Dominion 2L are both great options for termite treatments. The main difference between them is that Termidor SC can last up to 10 years in the soil, while Dominion 2L lasts about 5 years. You will still dig a 6 by 6 inch trench around the structure you are treating. You will pour 4 gallons of solution per 10 lineal feet. Also, make sure that you treat the dirt that you dug up as well.

    Q
    Would it be safe to use this product as a topical application near the edge of a vegetable garden?
    The garden is on a slight slope & I would do the "foot up & foot out" application on the side of my house, which is at the top of the slope.
    A
    As long as the Termidor SC was only applied outside of the actual garden area it should not effect the soil inside the garden area. If there is a doubt if some Termidor SC got inside of the garden area you can remove the soil and replace it with fresh soil to avoid any contamination issues.

    Q
    Can I pre-treat a new house for termites and spiders with Termidor SC?
    A
    If you want to pre-treat before the slab is pured to control termites, Termidor SC would be the product of choice. Pre-slab and barrier treatments can last for up to 10 years for subterranean termite control.  For general pest control around the inside of and the outside of the house can be done with Talstar P. It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for approximately 30 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests.

  • Asked by Maria from Blaine, Mn

    Q
    Our whole yard, grass and flower bed and along driveway is filled with little brown ants. We have a dog.
    Can I spray the entire yard? Sandy soil.
    A
    ermidor SC is not allowed to be used anywhere other than around the foundation of the home 1-2 feet up and 1-2 feet out. It cannot be broadcast across yards or flowerbeds for any type of insect control, especially with sandy soils. If you want an insecticide that can be broadcast across the yard for ant and general insect control we would recommend something like Talstar P. Its a great general and broad use insecticide that you mix at the rate of 1oz per gallon of water.

    Q
    Will Termidor SC kill sugar ants?
    A

    Termidor SC can kill sugar ants when used outside around the perimeter of the home but these are not actually a species of ant. It is just what ants that are looking for a sugar/carb based food are called since they go for sweets.  We would suggest using either the Indoor or Outdoor Ant kit depending on where you are seeing activity.

    Q
    If applying Termidor SC to the foundation and ground around my home for carpenter ants, is this going to affect the groundwater and my well water?
    I would be using Termidor for carpenter ants on the foundation and ground out from the house, so would not be trenching. Is this going to affect the ground water and my well? Also, I have fig trees near my house. Is spraying the foundation going to affect my fig trees?
    A

    When treating the exterior perimeter foundation with Termidor SC Termiticide/Insecticide, do not spray more than 1 ft out from the foundation and keep applications atleast 5ft away from wells and out of the root zone of any fruit trees as directed on the product label.

  • Asked by Lucas from Biggs
    06/25/2021
    Q
    Is using Termidor SC on the outside of a house with a crawlspace effective?
    I am unable to fit in the crawlspace on the part of my house that the termites are using. If I treat just the outside will it be equally as effective?
    A

    Termidor SC is a great choice for liquid soil treatment since it has a very long soil residual (10 years or more) and great transfer effect. In preventative applications, you would not be required to treat the inside of a crawl space. However, if there are live termites in the crawl space, then you would still need to spot treat that colony to insure control of them. So just treating the exterior of the house is not considered sufficient if there is already an issue in the crawl space.

    If you can treat the termites from elsewhere in the house, then you may be able to spot treat the activity using Termidor Foam instead.

  • Asked by Tim
    08/02/2021
    Q
    Why is Termidor SC not approved for post construction in Louisiana?
    A

    Due to the high water table and potential for regular flooding in the state of Louisiana, most of the soil termiticides such as Termidor SC  are not for use in the soil in that state. This means only unique and safer formulations that wont get into the water are allowed, or bait stations in instances where liquids are not the preferred option. The two main termiticides that are not restricted to soil use in Louisana are Altriset and Phantom. Altriset is what most customers use due to its newer formulation and safety for the environment, along with its great termite control abilities. If you feel trenching is not going to be what you would like to do,  we do carry Termite Bait Stations as a great alternative home protection option. The guide linked here is extremely helpful and goes through step by step instructions as well as "How to" videos for both treating with a liquid termiticide as well as installing bait stations.

  • Asked by Michael from Greensboro
    12/21/2021
    Q
    After the wood is soaked in Termidor SC and inserted in the ground around structures, will it be effective for killing termites that take it back to the colony?
    A

    Termidor SC does not penetrate into the wood at all.  It will only sit on the surface of the wood and is best applied in a trench around the home for termite protection.  It will transfer back to the colony by those that go through the treated soil. 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.
