    Q
    Why is Termidor SC not approved for post construction in Louisiana?
    A

    Due to the high water table and potential for regular flooding in the state of Louisiana, most of the soil termiticides such as Termidor SC  are not for use in the soil in that state. This means only unique and safer formulations that wont get into the water are allowed, or bait stations in instances where liquids are not the preferred option. The two main termiticides that are not restricted to soil use in Louisana are Altriset and Phantom. Altriset is what most customers use due to its newer formulation and safety for the environment, along with its great termite control abilities. If you feel trenching is not going to be what you would like to do,  we do carry Termite Bait Stations as a great alternative home protection option. The guide linked here is extremely helpful and goes through step by step instructions as well as "How to" videos for both treating with a liquid termiticide as well as installing bait stations.

  • Asked by Michael from Greensboro
    12/21/2021
    Q
    After the wood is soaked in Termidor SC and inserted in the ground around structures, will it be effective for killing termites that take it back to the colony?
    A

    Termidor SC does not penetrate into the wood at all.  It will only sit on the surface of the wood and is best applied in a trench around the home for termite protection.  It will transfer back to the colony by those that go through the treated soil. We have a step by step guide that will walk you through how to do your own termite trenching treatment. You can see the guide by clicking on the link here.

  • Asked by Per from Spotswood, Nj
    03/16/2022
    Q
    When applied as trench treatment at the foundation, is Termidor SC toxic to bees/pollinators on flowering plants close to the foundation?
    If so, is this toxic for the 10 years the soil barrier treatment remains in the soil? Should I place a barrier in the soil around the plant to separate the soil from the application?
    A

    Termidor SC should not be applied directly to any foliage, including flowering plants. If you are concerned about ornamental plants being affected by Termidor SC when trenching, this product contains Fipronil which is not a systemic insecticide and would really not be absorbed by plants.

    Per the manufacturer, if fipronil were to get into plants, it can partially breakdown reducing any risk of translocating. The active is formulated to last up to 10 years in the soil because it binds with it when applied correctly.

    Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.

    Q
    If applying Termidor SC to the foundation and ground around my home for carpenter ants, is this going to affect the groundwater and my well water?
    I would be using Termidor for carpenter ants on the foundation and ground out from the house, so would not be trenching. Is this going to affect the ground water and my well? Also, I have fig trees near my house. Is spraying the foundation going to affect my fig trees?
    A

    When treating the exterior perimeter foundation with Termidor SC Termiticide/Insecticide, do not spray more than 1 ft out from the foundation and keep applications atleast 5ft away from wells and out of the root zone of any fruit trees as directed on the product label.

    Q
    Is this effective for velvety tree ants?
    Several professional pest control techs have labeled our problem velvety tree ants. Will this product work on them?
    A

    Termidor SC is not labeled specifically for velvety tree ants, nor is it labeled for ant control treatments anywhere other than around the foundation of a home or other structure.  Instead, if the ants are actively foraging, you could consider baiting with a combination of Maxforce Complete Granular Bait and Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait in the Ants No More Bait Stations, or mound drenching and treating the trees with a residual insecticide product like Talstar P Professional Insecticide at 1 oz. per gallon of water.

    Q
    Can I add a separate foaming agent to turn this into a foam spray?
    Yes, I know about Termidor FOAM, but that is so much more expensive than the TSC. Can I add a separate foaming product to the TSC to make it foam? I want to spray a foam into my walls.
    A

    Yes, you can add a foaming agent to Termidor SC and create a foam. You will also need a foam applicator such as Chapin Poly Foamer

  • Asked by Steve from Shoreview, Mn

    Q
    Demand CS and Termidor SC in the same areas...
    I've seen that you should not use Demand in the same areas as Termidor. Why is that? I am planning to begin my own pest control program and my previous pest guy would put down Termidor and Demand in the late spring.
    A

    No, Demand CS and Termidor can not be used in the same area at the same time. Termidor SC is a non-repellent product that works with a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect. Termidor SC also has a very limited label that only allows you to use it on or immediately adjacent to a structure. Demand CS on the other hand is broadly labeled and will kill the insects that walk over treated surfaces. If you mix the two together you will be losing the non-repellent factor and transfer effect of the Termidor SC and you will be severely limiting the places you can spray the Demand CS. Termidor SC is not labeled to be tank mixed with other products.

  • Asked by Steve from Earlsboro Oklahoma
    01/15/2023
    Q
    Can I treat the dirt in the crawl space under my house with Termidor SC?
    A

    Yes, you can use Termidor to treat in the crawl space. Inside the crawl space you would need to trench around any piers that hold up the home but the outside trench would be all that is required for the actual foundation if you are using Termidor. The Termidor will last for 10 years to protect your home. Please take a moment to look thru our pest control guide for termite treatment.
