    Q
    Well Termidor SC stay effective after a flood like Hurricane Harvey?
    A

    Per the manufacturer, "There are many factors involved such as: when flooding has brought new, untreated soil next to the foundation, foundation elements have shifted/moved, soil subsidence has occurred and untreated soil now requires a Termidor treatment, adjacent patios, driveways, concrete pathways, asphalt pads, etc have moved and exposed soil areas that can now be treated, soil erosion next to foundations has removed protective termite treatment zones, landscaping has been repaired, added, etc and the previously treated zones have been disturbed. Especially when repaired and previous soil is moved. Termidor has very low water solubility and therefore will not leach through the soil. Termidor tightly binds to organic matter in soil, which also limits its movement. All of these physical and chemical characteristics contribute to Termidor remaining active in the treated zones close to the foundations of the structure for as long as the soil and foundations have not been compromised or the normal time span for degradation has elapsed."

    Q
    Can I use Termidor in a barn where I keep bunnies?
    I've recently found drywall termites in my barn where I run a Rabbit Rescue. They were isolated in one spot, under a water heater in a back bathroom. I've since moved bunnies from the room, but can Termidor be used in that space with other bunnies in the barn or do all need moved out?
    A

    If treating in the barn at all for termites with Termidor you would want all the bunnies and any other animals out of the entire area during the treatment and until its dried and settled, typically over a couple of hours time frame. Bunnies can be sensitive to chemical use so having them all removed from the whole barn during that process is recommended.

    Q
    What is the amount of Termidor SC needed for a basement 6 feet below grade?
    The instructions on the label say 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. What I understand from the formula that my basement being 6 feet below grade, I would nee to put down 4 gallons times 6 feet or 24 gallons per 10 feet, is this correct?
    A

    Typically what would be done is that you would have your regular 6 in x 6 in trench with your 4 gallons of Termidor SC solution per 10 linear feet, and then rod down to the grade (but not below) at each footer, or in the case of a continuous basement, about every 12 inches. You also can treat from the inside by drilling in the basement to treat the ground underneath it and any hollow block near the floor there.

    Q
    A pest control company treated my home with Termidor SC but I can still see termite activity. Should I re-treat?
    A pest control company treated (Trench & Drill) around the perimeter of the house using Termidor SC. I'm seeing lot (100s) of fallen wings and live queen (they look black/dark brown) inside my house near the windows. I don't know how they are entering. I see them crawling a lot in pairs. The pest control company says that I need to give 2 weeks time for all of them to die. I'm tired of vacuuming them out in past 2 days. Do I need to be worried that the treatment was not done right? Do I need to force the company to retreat? Please suggest. ThanK You
    A

    If the wings are falling that is normal. Termidor SC does need time to work and should not be retreated this soon.

    Q
    Can Termidor SC be used first, then Boracare sprayed on top of it in crawlspaces?
    A

    Termidor SC is not really meant to be used as a crawl space wood treatment.  If you are going to be applying Boracare, it is not necessary to also use Termidor.  Boracare will penetrate completely into the wood and will remain active for the life of the wood.

    Q
    If there is no difference between Termidor SC and Taurus SC, why would a state ban one product and not the other?
    A

    Termidor Sc and Taurus SC are essentially the same product they are just made by different manufacturers. They both carry almost the exact same label and there is not any advantage to using one product over the other. There are many reasons that include: state restrictions, licensing etc that are involved with allowing products to certain states.
