I was very disapointed in the efectivness on ants. Here in florida we have a constant ant problem and usualy treat once a year with the much cheaper dominion xl. I decided to try termidor because it is suposed to be the best on ants but it was very inefective. Twop weeks later I retreated with dominion xl and in three days all the ants were history.

Use it for termites, ants and spiders. I spray only outside, but it controls the insects. Like it very much.

I had a major infestation in Fort Bend County with crazy ants. Not knowing what they were, I was fighting them with regular spraying with LESCO CrossCheck (Talstar) and granules. They would come back with a vengeance after each rain. I learned from an electrician who was working on my house that these were "Rasberry ants" and he said good luck getting rid of them as he had seen an explosion of these pests recently in our area. I found through my research the TAMU webpage dedicated to this pest: http://urbanentomology.tamu.edu/ants/rasberry.html. This pest is not be trifled with, my fooling around with Talstar this summer saw these ants grow in number and streaming in through minute cracks in the caulking near my dryer vent and A/c piping. I normally get 2-3 red ant "issues" each summer. These ants chased out the red ants. I sprayed the 1' up and 1' out method as in the label. I think you need a professional licence for the section 18 exemption label method of 3' up and 10' out as listed in the TAMU site. It worked wonders, all ant activity "died out" in 48 hrs. I further used Talstar granules on the mulch nesting sites two weeks after spraying with Termidor. My recommendations for other fellow Texans battling crazy ants: 1) Read up about your adversary on the TAMU link above. It will help put your struggle in perspective. Nothing you have done in the past will help you with this pest. Note: These ants nest outside in mulch and other wet and moist places. Follow the ant trails back to their nesting sites. 2) Buy this product from this site, for price (its not cheaper anywhere else) and speed of shipping. 3) Invest in a brand new sprayer. This product is non-repellent, keep it that way by using a clean new sprayer. 4) Wear long gloves, long sleeves, pants, shoes with socks pulled up on to the pants and eye protection. 6) Mix exactly per directions, do not shake the concentrate violently before spraying as it will froth up and throw you measurements off. 7)Fill your (new) sprayer with water before adding the product, this thing is like soap and froths up. After you close you sprayer shake it well before you start spraying. Wash your equipment thoroughly, in an area not draining into the street, storm water drain OR water body. 8) Wait. This stuff takes time, it says up to 90 days for termites, my infestation was gone in 48 hrs. 9) Use your preferred contact kill insecticide on the nesting sites. Please include any improvements/corrections you make to the steps above in your reviews

I have wanted to kill ants for thirty years in my backyard. They are not moving since I applied Termidor. Three weeks gone and no ants.

It works great on the fire ants. We had so many mounds and fire ants around our home. Now there are none. Even when it rained they made no new mounds. We are very satisfied. The fire ants have been a battle for us for years. Currently, they have disappeared due to the Termidor SC.

Crazy ants are invading Florida now. Google them if you don't know of them. They are a nuisance because of their sheer number. They breed like crazy and are very hard to control. Baits do not work. General yard pest granules do not work. I have them on the outside of my home and barn. They have not made a move to come inside - yet. I tried a surface treatment of Termidor along their trails and it seemed to work - for about a week. Then they came back. More Termidor. They came back in another week. More Termidor. They still came back but each time there were less ants than before. It seems that Termidor will eventually get them but make sure you have enough for several treatments. These guys are relentless.

We discovered small infestation of termites while doing some home repair. We called pest control companys and got price of $1000.00 to treat house. Called DoMyOwn bought enough product with a little extra for $200.00. Spent 1 afternoon digging trench, mixing and applying with 5gallon bucket,used 3 1/2 bottles of concentrate. Not difficult to use or apply and we are 68 & 66 years old. Saved $800.00 ,probably to be used on taking grandsons fishing and hunting.

These guys are the real thing.  I bought Termidor SC, a product to get rid of termites.  These guys walked me through the process, shipped the product immediately, and relieved some of the "termite anxiety" that the pro's will tell you.  I did the job myself for 1/3 of the price from a pro and I did a much better job than they would have.  Thanks for your help

I sighted the big black ants about the 2nd week in May. When we had a couple 80 degree days (Metro Detroit area) I then proceeded to find something to get rid of them - hence the review. I bought Termidor and received it a week later. I waited for a nice dry spell so I could get the best application possible. I sprayed the foundation, about 4 feet high, and then the mulch and perimeter of the house about 2 feet out. I then proceeded to spray the fence as well as the edge of the sidewalk where the grass meets the concrete - they love this area to nest. It's been about 2 full weeks now since I've sprayed and I have yet to see a living ant inside my house. Nada. I went to the fence where they had made a nest in a 2x4 and there is absolutely no activity. I've noticed that there are no ants roaming on the sidewalks around the house and no ants roaming in the mulch. I believe that the ants brought the chemical back to the nest and killed the queen and colony. I will reapply in the fall. I've also tried prelude - only a contact killer and does not kill queen or colony. This stuff kicks butt!

I am a pro pest killer. This is the solution for your ant problems. It also happens to work on nearly every other pest that comes into contact with it. This is NOT an instant-kill solution, so if you're "testing" it by spraying bugs and watching them crawl around in it and complaining... you did it wrong. Allow a couple of days to see results. DO NOT ADD MORE THAN THE DIRECTIONS SAY. If you think mixing more in your water is going to be beneficial, you are mistaken. Ants will be able to detect the pesticide and will avoid it. Mix as directed! You aren't supposed to use this inside as a pro. That being said, if you happen to treat in wall voids, cracks and crevices, the ants will disappear too. For inside, use Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel. These two pesticides when used as a tag team, will destroy your ant population. If you find more ants coming back later, they are certainly from a different colony. Track it down, and kill it.

I recently purchased 1 bottle of Termidor SC which was the first time I ordered from DoMyOwnPestControl and I was very impressed with their service. I will definitely order more products from DoMyOwnPestControl. I had a local pest control company do my last termite treatment and I am not even sure they used the proper amount. I asked how many gallons they used and they did not know. I will definitely order more Termidor and other items from DoMyOwnPestControl and I have quit my local pest control contractor.

For about three weeks, give or take, I dinked around with home improvement store remedies to eradicate the giant black carpenter ants from my deck, house siding and pole barn. Nothing really seemed to work. Enter Termidor SC. BLAM. All gone. This stuff is like a miracle or somethin’. Three days after applying it I called my wife back to the deck and said, “Honey, what don’t you see?” “I dunno,” she said. “NO ANTS,” I rejoiced. She walked away shaking her head, unable to comprehend my excitement.

We had an ant problem in our home. Not sure what kind but Termidor got rid of them all. It worked within a few days. After paying Terminix $75/quarter, now I can treate my home for the next several years for less. I don't write many reviews, but this works so well, I had to recommend it.

I've been fighting carpenter ants for 10 years, using every imaginable strategy to no avail. This time I tried Termidor SC and within three days all carpenter ants were eliminated, including three queens that I found dead at their point of entry. I wish I had this product 10 years ago. It is the best product for eliminating carpenter ants and I highly recommend it to anyone coping with these pests.

Was alot of hard work.......digging a trench around the house then applying the Termidor, then coving in back up. Do it in the morning if you live in Florida. The reward.....much cheaper than having a professional do it. They wanted $895 for installation then $195 a year for refreshing. I did it myself for under $200. I did not have termites, so if I don't get any in the future I will have to say Termidir SC good!

Got rid of termites after i found a swarm of winged termites in kitchen during $30K kitchen reno. Fired contractor after he nailed new studs into as he said- "soft wood" after moving exterior door and new windows. I pulled trim boards and clap boards outside and my 4x6 sill was infested. Cut it all out and sprayed Spectricide- Wasp and Hornet Killer which kills termites intantly. Replaced wood then trenched around house and applied Termidor SC i purchased here. No signs of termites, ants, spiders and even got rid of the nasty looking House Centipeedes which have been an interior nuisance for years. Great product !!!!!

This is the second time I’ve used the product for termite control. The first application was done professionally to control an existing infestation at a cost of $4,000. Well worth the money considering the cost to repair damage done by these pests. The second application was done ‘in house’, as a preventive measure, at a fraction of the price. Not only do I not have to worry about termites for the next few years, but the ant problem I’ve been dealing with over the past year has also disappeared. As a plus, I used what little Termidor remained to eliminate a Yellowjacket problem on my 4+ acre property. Mixing the diluted (.009%) product into tuna and putting the bait in locations around the property inaccessible to all but Yellow jackets, I’ve cleared the property completely within a week. BASF has earned a loyal customer for life.

Every February they came: Wave upon wave of carpenter ants. Until I found this stuff. Eleven years I've experimented with false promises. No more. A foot up and a foot out around the exterior foundation of my house and hallelujah! I have not detected any form of insect life within my home all season. Problem solved at last!

Very disappointed! Did not even begin to kill the millipedes! I had to go buy something else!

  Expert response:
We are sorry to hear that Termidor did not work up to your expectations. Termidor does not provide a fast kill. In fact it can take a couple of weeks to see results from using the product, even if you spray the insect directly. Millipedes can be a tough insect to get rid of if you do not help eliminate the issues that make your property favorable to start with. This is because as soon as you manage to get rid of the current population, a new population is ready to move in as they have everything they need to survive. Please take a few moments to read over our How to Get Rid of Millipedes article to learn how to implement a successful millipede elimination program: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/get-rid-of-millipedes-a-255.html

Termidor is the greatest. I have been using it for about 3 years now. I use one application every 3 mos. and it kills everything. The ants are gone completely and the only other pests I find (an occasional roach or spider) if any are dead. Nothing gets past this stuff.

I am only holding out on the fifth star because I don't know if they are coming back... I used a low dose of Termidor SC to get rid of carpenter ants on my outside deck. Within two days I saw fewer ants. Within a week they are no longer around. This was amazing..

We've been having ant issues for the past 2 years and we have tried just about anything and everything to get rid of it but nothing permanently worked! Until we had a termite inspector 3 weeks ago and suggested that we purchase a Termidor SC. We did and went to Utube for guidance. We bought a spray and my husband, who's really not familiar with the process, followed instructions and sprayed around the house almost 3 weeks ago. He accidentally hit the Ant Hill too and we've been ANT-FREE since then. It's like MAGIC! Knock-on-wood! So far we've recommended it to our neighbors and friends. You will probably get more orders! We probably saved money by doing it on our own. Thanks to the inspector and DoMyOwnPestControl.com.

We've had ant problems for many years and nothing seemed to solve this problem. We tried everything and we almost paid a lot of money to hire a pest control. It was getting worse until we were advised by a termite inspector to purchase a TERMIDOR SC. My husband, who is not a handyman read the instructions and sprayed around the house. He also discovered a giant ant hill. We haven't had ants since he sprayed. It was all gone the very next day and not a trace. The spray was so effective that even our neighbors said they too don't have ants anymore. I recommended it to my best friend who lived a few blocks away and gave her this website. Her ant problem was worse than ours. She was so happy she did because just like us, TERMIDOR SC got rid of all her ants!!! THANK YOU Termidor SC. I will post it on my FB.

When we saw a few of the winged terrors I purchased two bottles of the Termidor concentrate treat my house.. I removed the baseboards, drilled holes every 6 inches just above the plate and making sure I was just against each side of the framing stud. I then saturated the interior of the walls thoroughly and between the slab and sole plate. I even sprayed the backs of the baseboard before I replaced them. I will be ordering another two to treat the perimeter of my house and my fence line. I hope to never see another termite again.
