    Q
    Can Termidor treat Birch Borer
    Can Termidor be used to treat birch borer (flatbread borer) in living birch trees
    A
    Termidor Sc cannot be used to treat Birch borer. For Birch Borer Youc an use Merit. You will dilute the 1.6 oz pack in at least 10 gallons of water and pour the dilution around the base of the tree. You will need to use 1.6 oz (1 packet) MERIT 75 WSP per 24 to 48 inches of trunk diameter.

    Q
    Tomorrow is going to rain, can I apply terminator SC today.
    How long before the rain.
    A
    If you are applying Termidor you want to make sure there is not going to be rain for at least 24 hours after application. If you know it is going to rain within that time frame, you should wait until the rain is passed and will be sunny and dry for a day or two. This applies weather you are doing a general spray around the foundation of the home for ants and other insects, or a termite trench treatment.

  • Asked by Brandi from Gonzales Louisiana
    05/28/2015
    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.

  • Asked by Jim from Conyers, Ga
    06/11/2015
    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.

    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
    Can this product be used effectively with a mister?
    I have a backpack mister that I use with Talstar for mosquito control. Can Termidor be used in a mister and have positive results for carpenter ants or does it need to be used in a traditional pump sprayer?
    A

    Termidor SC is only labeled to be sprayed for ants outdoors in the following way:
    For Control of Ants and other Target Pests: Termidor is mixed at a rate of .80 fl. oz. to one gallon of water in a pump sprayer and sprayed around the outside foundation of the home. For example, you would spray 1 foot up the foundation of your home, and 1 foot out onto the ground.  The treatment will last about 4-6  months, and will then need to be reapplied.

    Pets
    I have a Dog. How long after Treatment do I have to Wait until she goes back out in the back Yard?
    A

    Termidor SC can only be used on or immediately around the foundation of a structure topically as directed for crawling insects or in a trench and drilled holes for subterranean termite application. Keep pets out of the area during the application and while wet. Once completely dried, it is safe for their return to the area. Drying time can vary.

    Q
    The termite company did a local termite treatment with Termidor around our house.
    It was done very close to the apple trees. Can we eat apples from these trees?
    A

    As long as your fruit tree is not directly sprayed with the Termidor SC or so close to the treatment area that runoff or overspray comes in contact with the fruit, Termidor is safe to use and is not systemic.  The general rule of thumb is that you should keep Termidor treatments at least 10 feet away from any edible vegetation and you should discard anything that may be contaminated with a direct spray. You may view the product label here for more information.

    Q
    I have a house 1440 square feet, how many bottles of Termidor SC would I need?
    A

    You must find out how many lineal feet you have around the outside or your home. Unfortunately, the square footage just will not tell us how much you really have to treat. To find how many lineal feet you have, measure around the front, back and each side of your home. Add up the measurements, and you will have the total lineal feet. Use 4 gallons of finished solution per 10 lineal feet around the house.

    For Example: A home with 200 lineal feet around the foundation would require 4 bottles of Termidor SC. Most homes require at least 4 bottles. For Termite control, Termidor SC is mixed at a rate of .80 fl oz. for each gallon of water used and each 20 oz bottle will make 24 gallons of solution and treats 60 lineal feet of trenching.?

    Can I mix Termidor SC in with wet cement or grout?
    Where my plumbing risers come threw the slab there is a gap around the pipe. I'm going to fill these with liquid grout/cement. Can I add Termidor to the solution?
    A

    Termidor SC should not be mixed in wet cement or grout. It binds to soil when applied as directed on the label against the foundation for termite control/prevention.

    Q
    Termite company proposing to flood crawlspace with Termidor SC
    Tenting & trenching for active infestation. Proposing to 'flood crawlspace of my 100 year old home with Termidor SC. Would this do anything? Says 40 gallons or so (900 sq ft house). Says eventually will sink into ground but I cannot find anything on effaced of this as a treatment. Also, 'rodding for subterranean but I don't think plan on trenching...says every 10 to 12" using pressure gun. Does this create a barrier?
    A

    We cannot recommend or advise to flood a crawlspace with Termidor SC unless concrete will be poured over it afterwards. You may view our Termidor SC and Flooding Q&A for more information on this. Also, here is the full product label so you may review complete application instructions and methods.

    Professional companies usually will not dig a trench, but they will use the rodding method because they have the truck rig to be able to do so. This method is a much faster process. Rodding will still help to control termites.

    Q
    How would I apply Termidor SC to a pole home?
    My home is on sloping ground and sits up on poles. How would I apply the product to best protect my house? I have heard that I need to built a type of retaining wall around each pole and fill that with moisture retaining dirt and then soak that with Termidor. Is that the best approach?
    A

    If your home is built on piers or wood beams, then you could use Termidor SC to trench the soil around each wooden pier/beam at the same rate that you would use to treat around a foundation (4 gallons of solution per 10 feet in a 6 inch x 6 inch trench).

    Q
    If I apply Termidor SC for termites (trenching perimeter), will that also control ants?
    A

    Termidor SC may kill some ants that go through the soil where you have trenched.  To get the best ant control you should also spray 1 foot up the foundation and out on the ground after trenching.

    If my dog digs in the Termidor SC treated area after a day of drying will it kill him?
    A
    If a dog was to dig in an area that was treated with 

    Termidor SC it would not cause harm if the product had completely dried. What you would be concern about would be that the barrier would be disturbed and most likely will need to reapply the product.

    Q
    Can you use Termidor liquid concentrate in a mist blower to for lawn pests?
    I was wondering if Termidor HE can be used as a perimeter application the exterior of my property annually per the label for pest control. -- Is it possible to use mist blower with Termidor HE? (tank rinsed out to prevent cross contamination) Same mist blower used for mosquito control, wanted to make sure that you can mix chemicals and use Termidor in mist blower.
    A

    We do not carry Termidor HE but like Termidor SC, it cannot be applied as a broadcast application for pest control on the lawn. Therefore, we recommend using a backpack sprayer or a handpump sprayer, not a mist blower, to spray the perimeter of your home for general pest control. Termidor SC can only be used twice a year at a rate of 0.8 oz per gallon of water or 4 times a year at a rate of 0.4 oz per gallon of water.
