    Q
    Will Termidor SC kill stink bugs?

    Termidor SC should not be applied for treating stinkbugs. We do offer an Overwintering Kit for Stinkbugs. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Stinkbugs for a successful eradication program.

    Q
    Is termidor sc a chitin inhibitor or a Cholinesterase inhibitor?
    A

    The active ingredient in Termidor SC, Fipronil, works by disrupting the insects central nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels. This causes hyperexcitation of nerves and muscles in insects.

    Q
    We had Termodor treatment done under our house foundation and aroind its perimeter...
    A few days after Termidor treatment around the perimeter and under the foundation, we had a trench 5 feet deep dug up along the foundation walls to install a french drain. Does that mean that we dug out the Termidor and it will not be effective?
    A

    Yes if the soil was disturbed, removed, or displaced after Termidor SC it could change effectiveness of barrier.

    I have a brick home on slab with holes 8 in. above ground and 1.5 ft apart. Can I use these to treat termites?

  • Asked by Jessica from Garden City Missouri
    06/08/2018
    Q
    My fruit tree trunks were sprayed with Termidor SC before I knew they were spraying.
    I don't know if the company was aware the trees they sprayed were my apple trees. They treated a couple barns and decks with Termidor SC, then as they were leaving they were spraying our tree trunks up to about 4 feet on the trunk which we hadn't discussed them doing. I was shocked! They've been a good company for us before, but now I'm really upset because I don't want to get poisoned eating our apples. They said it's safer than agricultural spray and the fruit should be edible in at least a month. What do we do?
    A

    Termidor is not labeled for use in or around edibles. Any edibles sprayed with Termidor should be discarded.  Please contact the manufacturer BASF for further instruction 800-526-1072.

  • Asked by Sharmaine
    10/04/2018
    Q
    What should I do if I mixed too much Termidor?
    A

    Since Termidor SC is a non repellent, overmixing could negatively effect the treatment. We recommend to either add more water or start over using the recommended rate of 0.8 oz per gallon of water.

  • Asked by Jeremy from Virginia Beach, Va
    10/11/2018
    Q
    How much Termidor SC should be applied around piers?
    A

    Everywhere you dig, you will follow the method of digging a 6x6 trench and use 4 gallons finished Termidor SC solution to every 10 linear feet, so it depends on the dimensions around the piers.

  • Asked by Cynthia from Wa
    10/24/2018
    Q
    Can I just use Termidor SC to do a perimeter spray without trenching or rodding?
    My pest control company was doing perimeter spray with fipronil every 3 months with out trenching and rodding. The purpose is to prevent carpenter ants. I have read the package inserts for Taurus SC and Termidor SC. I don't see any information about this mode of application.
    A

    Termidor SC is used for both termite prevention as well as ant control.  The termite prevention requires the trenching and rodding, and is done once every 10 years.  When using it for ant control, you would spray 1 foot up the side of the structure and 1 foot out into the soil, all the way around…

  • Asked by Matt from Graham, Nc
    01/17/2019
    Q
    Is Termidor effective in freezing temperatures and rain?
    A

    Termidor SC should not be applied if the ground is below freezing, or it will not take hold. Also, as long as Termidor SC has time to dry and bind with the soil, the rain will not affect it. It is best to wait until you have a few days of no rain in the forecast so there is at least 24 - 36 hours…

    Q
    Is trenching best down with wet or dry soil, hot cold weather, when bugs are present or not?
    I live in So Fla where there is sandy soil
    A

    Termite trenching is best done when the soil is a bit moist and when the temperatures are below 85 degrees. Having bugs present or not will have no effect on the treatment.

  • Asked by Diana from Concord, California
    09/02/2013
    Q
    Is it possible to eliminate an already present termite problem or are most products more of a preventative?
    We have been told we have subterranean termites. Professionals are quoting $2,000 for treatment. I've been told by big box stores that it is a waste of time to try to solve the problem myself. Also, are any products, prophylactic or otherwise, safe to use around small dogs?
    A

    You can absolutely do a active termite treatment yourself with the same products you would use as a preventative, and at a fraction of the cost of hiring a company. If you have subterranean termites, you will want to follow the instructions in our guide How To Do A Termite Treatment. On this same pa…

  • Asked by James from Oviedo,fl

    Q
    Used TermiDor around the foundation of my house. Three hours later had massive down pour.
    Should I re-apply the application?
    A

    Termidor becomes rainfast aproximately 6 hours after it  has been applied. Since you had a massive downpour only 3 hours after your treatment, another application would be recomended.

    Q
    Can you use Termidor Sc inside your house for roaches?
    It's for my mom's house they told me to use Termidor SC to eliminate the roaches inside the house. Thanks.
    A

    Termidor SC is not labeled for indoor use. To treat roaches indoors we would recommend using one of our roach control kits. Please see our Roach control page. We highly recommend using a roach bair gel like Maxforce Fc Magnum and then a crack and crevice spray like Demon Wp indoors and out.

    tremoder sc: After trenching will re-planting and watering a treated area compromise the termite treatment.
    need to know soon........thank you
    A

    You should not dig up any area that is part of the Termidor treated barrier or you do indeed risk interrupting your barrier treatment. We recommend never planting within 6 inches of a home (where your trench is located), because this allows pests to hide and increases chances that they will invade…

  • Asked by Beverly from Ventura, Ca
    11/08/2013
    Q
    We have a mobile home with "sub" termites found by 3 professional companies only on 3 spots on one side of our
    home. We also live very close to a lake with fish and ducks. Since we can't trench on the lake side, can we just trench along the infected side and just spray under the entire coach?
    A

    With a situation such as yours, you just need to do the best you can while preventing any run-off from getting into the lake. You definitely will want to trench along the side where the temites have been spotted. Apply Termidor to as much of the soil under the coach as possible by trenching or spray…

    Q
    Termites in water well house. Why can't I use Termidor to kill them?
    I have a 8 X 6 wood frame water well house on a slab with plywood walls infested with termites. The actual well pump is 75 feet underground in a PVC casing. Only the well cap, the holding tank and electrical hookup is visible in the house. The well is used only for outside irrigation.
    A

    The Termidor SC product label states that you cannot use Termidor SC closer than 5 feet from a well or cistern. Please contact the manufacturer for more information, BASF 800.526.1072.

  • Asked by Bill from Ok
    12/26/2013
    Q
    How do the trenching instructions change for the case where the top of the foundation footer is only 4 inches
    Below grade? Also, the top of the shallow footer extends out from the house about 12 inches. So, following the standard instructions, I'd be pouring the liquid entirely on top of concrete!
    A

    If the footer is right below the dirt level, within 6 inches, and it comes out 12 inches, then you should make your trench out where the footer ends.  In other words, instead of digging a 6 inch trench directly against the structure, you will move the trench away from the house where you can di…
