    Q
    Can we pour Termidor SC in the hole when the post is removed?
    We have active termites in a post on our concrete porch.
    A
    Yes, you may drench the soil where the termite damaged post has been removed with Termidor SC. However, this will only protect that localized area and would not help protect the rest of your home from termite damage. We would recommend treating the entire perimeter of your home with Termidor SC. Please read over our Termite Treatment Guide for more information regarding protecting your home long term from destructive termites.

    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
    Is Termidor SC still good after a year?
    I used this for the first time last summer to deal with Carpenter Ants and it worked fantastic! The opened bottle was stored in our basement this past Midwest winter. I just noticed a few scouts out already and got the bottle and mixed up a batch for some proactive treatment. When I was mixing in my sprayer, I noticed a few little clumps in the sprayer when I added the Termidor to the water. There was no rotten egg smell.
    A
    Termidor SC has approximately a 5 year shelf life when kept out of direct sunlight and out of extreme temperatures.

  • 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
    How do I get rid of crazy ants?
    They are in my yard, starting to get in my home.
    A
    Termidor SC is one of the best products known to work on the crazy ant. According to the product label you are only allowed to use Termidor SC once very 6 months for ant control (the only exception to this is for folks dealing with the Raspberry crazy ant of Texas and only in certain counties of Texas. Those folks have received an exemption). You can alternate between products if needed. You can use Termidor SC and then alternate it with Phantom which works very much like the Termidor. By using this method you are staying within the label limits. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Is the Termidor SC properties affected or reduced with the use of another product for fleas and ticks?
    I use Termidor for termites and I need some product to kill and control ticks and fleas around the patio and premises where my pets stay. What product do you recommend for those pests in my pets; shampoos, dips, etc.?
    A
    Since Termidor is a non-repellant product you would not want to apply anything repellant as it will null that affect.  For flea and tick control outside you can use the Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit.  This kit contains Onslaught which is a broad spectrum insecticide which can be used as a broadcast spray for both indoor and outdoor infestations. The kit also contains Martins IGR which will help break the breeding cycle of the fleas for long term control.  Both products work great for fleas and ticks.  We do carry several products that are labeled for flea and tick control on pets, you can find them here.  Our most popular product is the PetCor Flea Spray.  Petcor Flea Spray contains Precor IGR, another type of insect growth regulator.

    Q
    What is good to spray a large lot for crazy ants, and also spray indoors?
    A
    Termidor SC used outdoors and Phantom used indoors have been the most effective products to control Crazy Raspberry Ants. Ant baits and synthetic pyrethroid insecticides do not seem to do an effective job controlling this ant species. Texas A&M University has done extensive research regarding these ants and you can find detailed articles on their extension website. We have linked a specific article about them HERE. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

    Q
    Termites in Alder trees
    I have termites in my Alder trees in So California. I purchased some Termidor SC from you guys. Should I mix and pour around the base of the infected tree or inject into tree limbs that already have died from termites? Help!
    A
    Termidor cannot be used in the manner you have described and is not labeled for use on trees as you described.  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.  Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Termidor would be the product to use for that.  It is only labeled to be used adjacent to the structure though.  Please take a moment to read over our article on "How to do a Termite Treatment" for complete details

    09/16/2013
    Q
    Is termites emerging from soil directly after Termidor SC treatment normal?
    Hi, I just performed a treatment of Termidor SC around the foundation of my house. While digging the trench along my foundation I discovered a small pocket of active subterranean termites (the nasty little white-ish ones, not winged) in the soil right around 6" down. After pouring in the treatment, spraying down the backfill thoroughly, and backfilling, I came back about 2 hours later to find the termites emerging from the soil and making their way along the foundation towards the bottom of my siding. Is this normal, for them to come up out of the soil after a treatment? I've seen the winged termites come out of the ground but never the subterranean ones.
    A
    It is normal to see the termites emerging after a colony has been disturbed. They go into panic mode and begin to act out of character. As long as they were contacted by the treatment they will be eliminated.

    I am purchasing phantom for my house and termidor sc around the house. Could I use the termidor in the yard and if so how many bottles do I need for 3 acres? How many can I purchase at one time? Any info woukd be heloful!
    A
    That is great news that you are using Termidor around the outside perimeter and phantom indoors. Unfornuantly, Termidor cannot be used out in the yard. We recommend using something like Invict Blitz Ant Granules. All turf and landscaping areas of the property can treated with 4-8 oz per 1000 sq ft., or 10-20 lbs. per acre.

    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.
