    Q
    Termidor/Tarus concentration and depth penetration....
    I have a two spots where the termites look like they are entering. I will use either Termidor or Tarus, but there are different concentrations. Is 0.06% ok or better to user higher in those spots. Additionally 4 gal per 10 feet is standard. Should I be decreasing the feet to get product deeper into ground in trouble areas.... If so how much? Lastly ok to use product day after rain
    A
    Both Termidor and Taurus would be applied at .8 oz per gallon of water.  The 6 inch deep trench is deep enough and there is generally no need to go lower than that.  Decreasing the footage the 4 gallons covers does not make the product penetrate deeper as it is going to bind to the soil it is applied to.  It is ok to use the product a day after rain but you want to make sure the soil is not too saturated with water from the rain.

    Q
    I have drop ceiling in garage. Can I spray Termidor between sheetrock and block wall and would this help?
    A
    Termidor SC is only labeled to be used outside as a termite prevention in a trench.  Inside it would only be used to treat active infestations by drilling directly into the wood they are infesting and spraying into the gallery.

    Q
    If I have already put down Taurus sc can I put Termidor on top of that?
    A
    We apologize, we need a little bit more information to better answer your question. What are you treating for? There really would be no need to apply Termidor over Taurus as they both work the same way.

    As long as you can apply  Termidor SC in the trench indoors and out, then there should be no reason to have to treat the cinder blocks.

    Q
    The Carpenter ants are entering the home from the outside. Ficam W used to solve the problem quickly. What now?
    A
    We recommend that you treat the exterior of the structure with Termidor SC (1 ft up and 1 ft out) once every six months. We also carry an Indoor Carpenter Ant Kit that offers a non-repellent spray for crevices, a protein bait granule and a bait gel for inside the home.

    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.

    Q
    Does Termidor SC or HE breakdown and become inert if left in mixed form?
    A
    Termidor SC should only be mixed when you are ready to apply. It should be applied within 24 hours of mixing with water for the most effective control.

    Q
    Leaking of Termidor into the garage?
    In one of my houses, the garage foundation leaks a little water when we have hard rain. Will the trench method cause the termidor or any other product to leak into the property? I really don't want this stuff in my living space, do I?
    A
    Termidor has low solubility in water. It will bind with the soil and should not leak into your living space.

    Q
    Hoping to Get a Reply Before I Open Wall...Thanks!
    I left a message here very early AM on 6/2, so please excuse this second message so soon!!! I decided to wait to hear from you before I open the wall, but termites are eating my wall up so fast it is scary. I want to make sure my plan is sound. Basically I have active drywood termites in a wall. (They completely destroyed a 6 x 8 solid interior wood wall within a few days, and are still moving! I already have some of your Termidor SC (LIQUID, NOT FOAM). Since I will be taking down the indoor wood wall planks anyway where it is damaged, I thought I could just go ahead and spray the inside wall void directly with my Termidor SC liquid wherever I see the Active termites, tunnels, or other evidence. (I did not see any need to use the FOAM since I am opening my walls.) I am expecting termites to be within a 10 ft long wall area. Once I spray, I wanted to board the wall void area back up with TEMPORARY plywood for about a week just to make sure the termites had time to spread the product. After a week, I would then replace any damaged studs, and walls, and coat new good wood with your Bora Care before closing the walls back up. My feeling is that the Termidor SC liquid would spread throughout the colony perhaps better than the Boracare. This is why I wanted to use that directly on the termites that are already there before spraying the good wood with Boracare. Is my plan sound? Anything else you might suggest? THANKS!
    A
    Your plan sounds great! Yes, spot treat with Termidor let that do it's job, then 3 months later replace the wall. If you  have more questions, let is know!

    Q
    I am a do-it-yourselfer. What applicator should I purchase to apply termidor HE to the soil.
    I will purchase termidor HE and will make the application myself. I know the product must be inserted into the soil. I need to know the name(s) of the appliance used to insert the termidor into the soil, so I can purchase this appliance. Any and all info you can share with me will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance, Ralph Boswell.

    We apologize we do not sell the Termidor HE. We do sell Termidor SC and will be happy to offer you our recommendations for Termite treatments. Please visit our Termite Barrier page.

    Q
    Drilling concrete and burried utilities a concern?
    Do I need to concern myself with buried water, gas, and or electrical pipes/lines when drilling 18" deep for treatment? Could my hot/cold lines be buried under garage slab or the like? Or is should there be some particular code that dictates the depth of these types of utilities coming from the home? I've got two stories on a 3 sided concrete basement. The basement exit has a small slap in the vicinity of the gas and electrical meter. Should I get it marked before trenching and slab drilling? Thanks.
    A
    If you are not sure where the utulity lines are located on your property, it is always a good idea to have them marked before drilling to apply Termidor SC or any other product.  You can call 811 from anywhere in the country a few days before you are ready to drill to have someone come out and mark your utility lines.

    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
    How do you mix Termidor SC? Which sprayer do you use? Is it a liquid, powder, or what?
    A
    Termidor SC is mixed at 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water and it is a liquid concentrate. You can apply it in a one gallon sprayer for treating topically for crawling insects. It should be applied in drilled holes and a trench for treating subterrean termites. Please let us know if you need anything else.
