Si usted esta encontando termitas en la madera, Termidor SC no es el producto que recomendariamos. Termidor SC debe ser mezclado con agua y distribuido en una zanja de 6 pulgadas de profundidad que se cava alrededor de la base de la casa, o rociado 1 pie arriba y 1 pie havia fuera contra la estructura.
Bora-Care suele ser la opción preferida si la mayor parte de la madera está expuesta y es la madera cruda que está tratando, lo que significa que no está pintado, manchado o sellado, es sólo madera normal. Bora-Care se hace sólo para la madera, y usted no tiene que saber exactamente donde las termitas son para que funcione, que es una ventaja. Bora-Care se pulveriza uniformemente sobre todas las superficies expuestas de la madera y realmente penetra a través de toda la pieza de madera. Cuando las termitas de la madera tratan de consumir la madera después de haber sido tratada, ingieren el Bora-Care con la madera y mueren. No importa dónde estén en el bosque, Bora-Care los encontrará siempre y cuando trate la madera expuesta que puede ver. El otro beneficio principal es que Bora-Care se queda en la madera para siempre, por lo que no tendrá que preocuparse por termitas o escarabajos infestando la madera que trató de nuevo.

You will want to give adequate time for the herbicide to dry and absorb into the plants you are treating with it before using another product over top. This will help to make sure there are no compatibility issues between the two products as well as to ensure the insecticide application does not wash away any of the herbicide you applied. Termidor SC should be applied only to the ground 1 foot out from the foundation and 1 foot up onto the structure.
Termidor SC is not labeled for mosquitoes nor can you use it on plants which is key when treating for them. Talstar P would be a better option, be sure to apply to the underside of leaves of trees and bushes where adults lay during the day and if needed on the lawn for further control.
