    Q
    Can I order termite preventive treatment from Do My Own & it be as effective as the commercial guys?
    Can I do the liquid treatment for termites, I see you have the same name brand of treatment that the professionals use; I'm not sure if it's the same strength? I have seen the videos on the site before of how to do it.
    A

    Yes, we are here to provide you with the same products the pros use, but for less. We are so happy you were able to review our How To videos.  Termidor SC once put into the soil will last up to ten years.

  • Asked by Dale from Fort Myers, Fl
    04/21/2014
    Q
    How much damage can termites do in one year?
    I have baited my house for termites and it says that it could take from 6 to 24 months to kill the colony. I need to know if I need to do something else, so I need to know how much damage they can do in the 6 to 24 month period.
    A
    Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to say how much damage can be done in a year because it depends on the size of the colony. However, termite damage is normally not very fast. For your situation we would recommend performing an in ground soil treatment with a product like Termidor or Fuse. These two products when performed correctly will most likely kill the entire colony within 90 days.

    Q
    Applying along garden bed
    I have a few rose bushes along one side of the house (2 feet away and I don't think the roots will be a problem i.e alow for a breach) I want to trench right up against the house however will constant watering over time make the solution ineffective (dilute)? Thank you
    A
    If you do a trench around the foundation of the home with the Termidor, you would need to let it dry for at least 24-48 hours after applying before any form of rain or irrigation. Once the Termidor has dried completely it will be there for at least 10-15 years protecting the home and watering of your plants next to the home will not dilute it or make it inneffective.

    05/19/2014
    Q
    What procedure do I use when concrete steps are in the way of drilling Termidor treatment holes?
    Steps for entering house are in the way for drilling perimeter of concrete patio for Termidor. Is it okay to keep the recommended hole pattern and drill around the concrete steps. Steps protrude away from house 3 feet and this is the site of known termites.
    A
    The steps should be drilled as well to apply the Termidor SC if possible. We recommend that you drill the holes 10-12" apart and disperse 4 gallons of finished solution every 10 lineal feet.

    Q
    Do I also need to trench-treat around all of my pressure treated deck posts/steps that are attached to house with Termidor SC also?
    A
    Termidor SC should be applied to the trench directly around the structure and in drilled holes in the concrete that is attached to the structure. You may need to remove some boards if they are close to the home to access the soil directly up against the foundation for the trenching.

    Q
    Should Termidor be reapplied to an area if fresh mulch was placed over it?
    We had termidor applied to the entire perimeter of our house. I recently put fresh mulch and dirt but did not remove any existing dirt/mulch. Should I reapply the termidor to those disturbed areas? How often should I reapply as a general rule? Twice a year?
    A
    Termidor SC should only be applied a foot up and a foot out directly up against the structure for a topical treatment once every six months per the product label.

  • Asked by Yuriy from Yonkers, Ny
    06/15/2014
    Q
    Is a 6" trench enough if you have a below ground level basement?
    The instruction manual for termidor is a little confusing when the foundation of the house is below grade. They seem to suggest going 4ft deep with rods. Is a 6" trench enough protection if you have a basement?
    A
    Yes, the trench should be 6" by 6" around the perimeter of that basement. With the rods, it is stating that it needs to be at least 4 ft below the ground.. That is if you are rodding.

    drilling every 10 to 12 inches in concrete doesnt this create a weak spot in your slab or a breaking point?

  • Asked by Alice from Arcadia, Florida
    06/26/2014
    Q
    What would be the best product and approach to use for an ongoing ant problem?
    We are in Florida for the winter months. We arrived back early Dec this year and have had a continuous ant problem every since. I have never seen anything like this before and I've been coming down for 10 yrs. The ants are in every single area of the house, on the table, counter tops, bathroom counter etc...lots of ants. I even had pest control come in and spray once, but didn't seem to help at all so gave up on that. I'm leaving to go back to Wi soon and am wondering if I leave enough of the right poison out, if maybe it will help while I'm gone. Any suggestions? Thanks
    A
    Termidor SC would work fantastic to put a barrier up outdoors.
    Termidor is the # 1 choice for ant control around the home. Termidor is a non-repellent insecticide that works with a delayed reaction amd also has a transfer effect. That means that ants cannot tell that the Termidor is there and will walk right over it and then pick the product up on their bodies and inadvertently carry it back to the colony, then through normal social interaction the ants spread the Termidor and wipe out the colony. Termidor only needs to be applied two times per year and is effective for a wide variety of insects including ants, centipedes, roaches, spiders, silverfish, wasps and many other nuisance insects. You will need to apply Termidor SC 1-2 ft up the foundation and 1-2 ft out onto the ground, around door frames, window frames, places where cables, pipes or wires go through the wall and any other crack or crevice where the ants can gain entry into your home. Indoors you can use Phantom to treat cracks and crevices.

    06/30/2014
    Q
    I was hoping to get some facts on pesticides being used at my home & the safety for small children and fetuses.
    I recently read an article suggesting a link between pesticides and autism. The evidence was weak, but I was hoping to get some facts on pesticides being used at my home and the safety for small children and fetuses. The pesticides used are Delta Dust, Cy-Kick CS, Mother Earth Granular scatter bait, and Termidor SC. We are never present during application. Are these safe for home use around children/pregnant women?
    A

    We understand your concerns and are happy to address them. Delta Dust is placed inside the wall voids so this is inaccessible to children and adults as well. Cy-Kick CS is safe once it is dry. Children should be kept out of the area that MotherEarth Granular Scatter Bait  is placed until the application is complete. Termidor SC should only be used outdoors unless there is an active termite infestation indoors and you are applying it directly to the infested area. This is another product that children should be kept out of the area while it is being applied.

    These products are safe to use around your home if they are being used correctly. We recommend always following the labels on products and taking the necessary precautions.
