Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees. If the tree has been damaged by termites it would be advisable to remove the tree and perform a liquid termite soil treatment. Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Termidor SC would be the product to use for that. Please take a moment to read over our article on "How to do a Termite Treatment" for complete details. In most cases, termites out in the yard are completely normal and can be left alone. Termidor is only labeled to be used adjacent to structures and when used as directed is safe around plants/trees that are in this area around a building/structure.
Instead, Dominion 2L is a product that can be used in the yard and around/near trees. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
Termidor SC can be sprayed around the perimeter of the home one foot up & one foot out. Once the product has dried it will be safe for pets again. Since the product bonds with the soil, it would not affect your dog even if they're digging there. Keep in mind that spraying termidor does not prevent termites, simply other pests such as spiders, ants, roaches, etc. If you are looking to do either a preventive or currative treatment for termites you will need to dig a trench around the home.

No, Termidor can not be used around any type of tree. Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees so you most likely will not find any products that will work as a ground barrier around the trees. Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Termidor SC would be the product to use for that. It is only labeled to be used adjacent to the structure though. Please take a moment to read over our article on "How to do a Termite Treatment" for complete details.
Termidor SC needs to be mixed at a rate of 0.8 oz per gallon of water. You will need to use 4 gallons of mixed solution to treat 10 linear feet of trenched area, the trench needs to be 6 inches deep and 6 inches wide and made along the foundation of the home. The backfill needs to be treated as well before it is placed back into the trenched area. IF your soil is extremely dry, you can water the area 24 hours before you begin the treatment. Please review our Termite Treatment Guide for complete instructions.
Once the Termidor SC is dry you can spray with Bifen or Talstar.
Termidor SC cannot be applied onto structural wood for termite prevention. You could use it for soil treatment around the foundation and around piers in a crawl space, but not just to spray on the wood. If you are wanting to protect raw wood from termites, then you would use a wood preservative such as Boracare instead.
You can definitely use a mixture of water and bleach to treat the mold. However, you would need to use Bora care mixed with mold care, not Termidor SC. Termidor would be for the soil to control existing sub-termites and prevent new ones. BoraCare/Mold Care will be for the wood to treat the mold and prevent more and termites I have attached the link in this email for the bora care mixed with mold care for your reference.
Termidor SC should only be applied as directed on the label. It does have instructions as a direct spot treat the active nest in the tree by drilling into it and injecting with foam or dilution. Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees so identifying any issues within the tree that attracted the termites in the first place would be recommended as well. A local arborist or horticulturalist at your local cooperative extension office may be able to assist with this or a local pest control company. Please let us know if you need anything else.
Thank you for your email, for a small amount of overspray of the Termidor SC reaching the pool, the amount of chemicals present would be negligible, much like dropping a couple of drops of food coloring into an ocean would be such little particles that it would be diluted and probably killed by the chlorine before it was harmful.
There is extremely little concern regarding Termidor dilution impact on the pool water.
Termidor SC is an excellent option for the control of spiders, ants and many other listed insects when used as directed on the label at a rate of .80 fl. oz. to one gallon of water in a pump sprayer and sprayed around the outside foundation of the home. For example, you would spray 1 foot up the foundation of your home, and 1 foot out onto the ground. The treatment will last about 4-6 months, and will then need to be reapplied.
You would want to use the Termidor SC like you would for a pre-slab treatment by spraying the surface of the soil before the liner is replaced in the pool. The rate if 1 gallon of mixed solution (0.8 oz per gallon) per 10 sq/ft of surface area. You can also trench around the perimeter of the pool to keep termites and ants from doing damage for additional protection.

You will find some really great tips on applying the products for the best control. Please let us know if you need anything else.

After applying Termidor SC, clothes can be washed as normal in your washing machine and dryer, and skin can be washed with soap and water if any chemical got on you directly. Sprayers can be cleaned by triple rinsing the tank and wand/nozzle with clean water, soap and water, or an actual tank cleaner, whichever is easiest for you to do.
