Asked by David from Gloversville, Ny01/21/2015QAdvantage = fipronil +imadocloprid. Is this true?
I read in our local paper that Advantage flea products are made with fipronil and imadocloprid. The author bought a gallon of each from you and mixed it according to instructions supplied with the product. If this is all true I am very interested in doing the same thing for my pets. I have two small dogs and four cats.AWe apologize but none of the products we carry with those active ingredients are labeled to be used to make your own flea products.

Asked by Chris from Killeen01/29/2015Qif im using termidor sc in my tank and want to use termidor 80 WG later do i need to clean and purge my tank?
I know they make the same chemical solution when mixed with water. But I know the 80 WG bonds better to surfaces and don't want to dilute the chemical.AWe would recommend cleaning out your tank fully after using any type of insectide. This will prevent it from clogging and the parts wearing out.

Asked by Julie from South Georgia03/23/2015QOur house has a crawl space. Can we spray Termidor directly on the ground to prevent termites?A
Spraying just on the surface of the ground with Termidor SC will not offer any protection from termites in the crawl space. We would recommend doing the crawl space with Termidor by trenching the inside perimeter and around all of the piers, and treat just as you would around the outside.&nb…

Asked by Marjorie from Summit, Nj03/24/2015QDoes Termidor kill young rhododendrons near house?
Using a direct injection unit, Termidor SC was injected at the perimeter of the base of the brick exterior of a new kitchen addition on 11/5/2014 using the trench/soil injection method. Three young rhododendrons were planted about 2 feet away from the house. They did not survive the winter. Could the Termidor be responsible for killing these perennials?AIt is highly unlikely the Termidor killed the rhododendrons. Now, if they were young, the injection or disruption of the soil may have caused distress on the plant.

Asked by Samuel from West Virginia06/02/2015QLeaking 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?ATermidor has low solubility in water. It will bind with the soil and should not leak into your living space.

Asked by Paul from Metairie, La06/02/2015QHoping 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!AYour 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!

Asked by Scott from Lawrenceville, Georgia06/08/2015QDrilling 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.AIf 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 …
