Termidor SC cannot be used in tree stumps but you could use another product called Dominion 2L. You can drill into the stump and then inject Dominion 2L into the stump where the termites actively are using a hand pump sprayer. You can also choose to trench around the stump and apply the product to the trench. Dominion will help to eliminate the colony below ground as well as those in the stump. Termites do not attack live, healthy trees so there is nothing that you can really do to protect the any nearby trees. They are natures recyclers so they go after dead/decaying wood more.
Termidor SC is only labeled to be used outside for ant control and cannot be used inside in any way for crazy ants. Products must be applied as directed on the product label. You would need to check with your local regulations regarding what an unlicensed person can legally apply to a public building in your area.
Termidor SC works best if applied in a trench around the fence post or in this case Cinder blocks. If you want to treat the damaged areas directly then you can drill and inject Jecta.
There would be no valid reason to mix Talstar P and Termidor SC together. This would nullify the non repellent factor of the Termidor SC. Termidor can only be used 1-2 feet up and out around the home and around entry points for pests and would be the better product for ants, but is not labeled for stink bugs. If you are looking for a product that you can use more freely around your home for ant control as well as other insects, then the Talstar P would be the better option to stick with.
Termidor SC should not be applied within 15 feet of bodies of fresh water such as lakes per the product label.
Termidor is not labeled for use on turf. It is only labeled for use around your homes foundation for termites, ants, and other selected pests. It is important to read and follow the Termidor SC product label? which states that you can only treat one foot up from and one foot out from where the ground meets the structure. The animals need to be out of the area while the product is being applied and they should not come back into the area until it is dry. Since Termidor is a non-repellent product you would not want to apply anything repellant as it will null that affect. For flea and tick control outside you can use the Outdoor Flea Kit.
Unfortunately, for Termidor SC to be used as an effective barrier for your home against subterranean termites you would need to use it around the entire perimeter of the structure using the trenching method.
Please see the termite treatment video attached for more detailed instructions.
Termidor SC will kill carpenter bees, but it really is only labeled to be applied 1 foot up and 1 foot out around the perimeter of a structure. It would be better to use our Carpenter Bee Control Kit instead.
Anytime you are adding soil on top of soil that was previously treated with Termidor SC, you need to be sure to also treat that new soil so it is still protected. We recommend applying the Termidor SC in a trench with the soil that is and will be directly up against the foundation of the treated structure. Please refer to the termite treatment article for full instructions on treatment
Termidor SC binds with soil and can stay in the soil up to 10 years. We highly recommend to contact the manufacturer BASF 800-526-1072 since it was applied in an off-label manner.
Due to the nature of Termidor SC it would not be advisable to mix it with anything else. Adding in other products could decrease the non repellency effect of Termidor SC.
No, Termidor SC is not labeled for scorpions.
We would recommend using Cy-Kick CS. This is a residual product that can be used indoors and outdoors for scorpions. The mixing ratio is 1-2 fl. oz. per gallon of water.
As we apologize for the inconvenience the Termidor SC is available in a 20 ounce container that can create up to 24 gallons of mixed solution. Please let us if you need anything else.
No, Termidor SC is not labeled for use for any ornamental pests, including bagworms. You can browse our Bagworm Control products here.
When using Termidor SC for ant control, you want to make sure the ants are contacting the treated area. If they are traveling on top of the rock and fabric topical application is fine. If not, you would need to take the material back and then apply and replace.
While Termidor SC is a non repellent insecticide and most others are repellent, as long as you are thoroughly rinsing the sprayer between products it should be fine. We would recommend triple rinsing all parts of the sprayer before changing products.
Termidor SC should be mixed with water and dispersed in a hand pump sprayer. It does not contain an attachment for a water hose on the container.
We recommend trenching with Termidor SC because it binds to the soil and creates a continuous barrier. Most members of termite colonies remain hidden and there are often multiple colonies, so if you only treat one area where you visibly see them, there is no way to ensure that all the termites will encounter the amount of Fipronil needed to eliminate a colony. While Termidor does have a transfer effect, the idea is to create a barrier and as the termites travel through the treatment, they will absorb enough of the active chemical used in the treatment and then die.
Termidor SC is labeled to control roaches but it is not labeled for indoor use. We would recommend that you use one of our Roach Control Kits to ensure that you have everything necessary for a complete treatment. Please also look over our Roach Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing roaches.
A good option would be to use granules, such as Demand G Granules. They can be applied around the perimeter of your home outdoors to control ants. This product does need to be watered in for it to be activated so during the rainy season, this would be ideal until it dries up and you can use the Termidor SC.
