  • Asked by John from Addison, Tx
    04/26/2018
    Q
    Can Termidor for Termites be applied outside when raining?
    A

    You should not apply Termidor SC if it is going to rain the same day.  It is best to wait until you have a few days of no rain in the forecast. Termidor SC is made to bond to the soil but it needs time to "set" and bond to hold up against a rain event.

  • Asked by Joyce from Waynesboro
    05/26/2018
    Q
    Do I need to treat my crawl space if I am doing a trench application with Termidor SC?
    I have termites in a very small crawl space where a room was added on. How would I treat this area if I am not able to get in the space?
    A

    We actually recommend, if possible, to apply Termidor in a trench inside the crawl space. You will use the same method as you do around the entire structure.  If you are not able to do so it might be best to contact a professional company for options.

  • Asked by Will from Scranton, Sc
    05/29/2018
    Q
    If there is no difference between Termidor SC and Taurus SC, why would a state ban one product and not the other?
    A

    Termidor Sc and Taurus SC are essentially the same product they are just made by different manufacturers. They both carry almost the exact same label and there is not any advantage to using one product over the other. There are many reasons that include: state restrictions, licensing etc that are involved with allowing products to certain states.

  • Asked by Jessica from Garden City Missouri
    06/08/2018
    Q
    My fruit tree trunks were sprayed with Termidor SC before I knew they were spraying.
    I don't know if the company was aware the trees they sprayed were my apple trees. They treated a couple barns and decks with Termidor SC, then as they were leaving they were spraying our tree trunks up to about 4 feet on the trunk which we hadn't discussed them doing. I was shocked! They've been a good company for us before, but now I'm really upset because I don't want to get poisoned eating our apples. They said it's safer than agricultural spray and the fruit should be edible in at least a month. What do we do?
    A

    Termidor is not labeled for use in or around edibles. Any edibles sprayed with Termidor should be discarded.  Please contact the manufacturer BASF for further instruction 800-526-1072.

  • Asked by Per from Central, Nj
    06/11/2018
    Q
    Will Termidor uptake into plants and affect pollinators or other insects?
    I plan to do a termite treatment around the house foundation were I have plants with flowers within a minimum of 2 ft of the treatment area. Once Termidor has dried and bound to the soil, will Termidor continue to uptake into the plant and harm the pollinator insects such at bees?
    A

    Termidor SC contains fipronil, which is not well absorbed by plants when it is applied to the soil.  If fipronil does get into plants, it can partially break down, reducing any risk of translocating. According to the maufacturer, it is best to not apply Termidor within one foot of the drip line of edibles but does not mention ornamentals.
