For prevention and/or control of existing or future infestations of termites or carpenter ants in decking and fencing materials, landscape timbers and similar nonstructural wood-to-soil contacts, trees, and utility poles, apply 0.06% Termidor SC finished dilution (or foam) by the following methods.
If possible, locate and treat the interior infested cavity by injection. Nonstructural wood-to-soil contacts may be treated as a spot application or continuous treated zone.
Apply Termidor SC to the soil as a drench or by rodding around the base of the points of soil contact. Rod holes must be placed 3-inches away from soil contact points and spaced no more than 12-inches apart along the perimeter of soil contact points.
If you are trenching 6 feet around each column, you will need approx 4.5 gallons of mixed solution. To treat around 20 columns you will need approx. 48 gallons mixed solution. 1 bottle of Termidor will treat 60 feet of trenching.
Termidor SC is safe to store indoors kept away from children and pets. The shelf life is 3-5 years.
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.

When doing a termite treatment with Termidor SC, on a slab, the trenching method is going to be most effective. It is only necessary to drill holes if you have a garage, patio or any other contiguous slabs against your home. Please take a look at our Termite Treatment Guide.
Depending on the rate at which Termidor SC is applied, it can be applied 2-4 times per year for ant control.
We apologize, but Termidor SC cannot be shipped to New York.
Unfortunately, Termidor SC is not labeled to be used in a tree application. Only up against a structure. If you need a product that can be used around trees we would recommend using a product like Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate which can be used in this type of application.
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.
We recommend contacting our office for treatment recommendations as we will need more information in order to advise on the correct way to treat for termites with Termidor SC . The depth of the basement walls, how close the well is to the exterior wall, and how many linear feet you are treating around the exterior. The square footage is not important as you need to know how many linear feet it is around the exterior of the home. You may reach us at 1-866-581-7378 Mon - Fri 9am-5pm EST.
Termidor SC is not labeled for treating sod webworms. The most popular product for sod webworms is Talstar. Please take a moment to look over our Sod Webworm Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing this pest.
If the porch is wood, you can remove the wood temporarily so that you can treat the soil with Termidor SC or Taurus SC. If the porch is concrete, you will need to drill through the concrete to apply the solution.
The active ingredient in Termidor is Fipronil. It does not contain any Ethanol.
Termidor SC is not labeled to treat fire ants. We do carry Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait that works great as a mound and broadcast application in the lawn for fire ant treatment.
Termidor SC should be dilulted at 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water and the listed amount of foaming agent per gallon per the product's label.
Baits do not normally work on White-Footed Ants so alternative methods will be needed. You will need to treat the lawn and any mounds you see with Talstar P. Spray the Talstar around window and door frames. Please review our detailed article on How to Get Rid of White Footed Ants for more information on eliminating them from your home. Termidor SC is effective against all ants. Termidor SC is the most effective ant treatment product available because it does not just kill the ants that come in contact with it, but it also kills the queen and the rest of the colony when the ant that first came in contact with the product returns to the colony. Be sure to use Termidor SC in a very clean hand pump sprayer. If you use a sprayer that still has remnants of other products in it, you could ruin the way Termidor SC works. It is applied only in a 1 ft by 1 ft band around the exterior of the structure (do not spray Talstar P to the same area).
While you are correct in that injecting termiticide into the ground seems more consistent with how professionals treat with Termidor SC and similar products, keep in mind that they are also using truck-mounted power sprayers with very high pressure to forcefully inject the product into the ground. While trenching may be laborious, it is actually a better treatment because you are creating a continuous barrier around the structure rather than creating spots of injection. We always recommend trenching except where spaced applications are needed due to drilling in concrete around the home. You are still using 4 gallons of solution per 10 linear feet, regardless of how it's applied, and the product needs to be at least 6 inches into the soil. Keep in mind, too, that a proper treatment with Termidor is good for at least 10 years.
