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.
We would not suggest that Termidor SC be the product of choice for eradicating German Roaches as it can only be applied to the exterior of the structure only. We do have a Roach Control Rotation A Kit that will be great to treat your home with. Please take a few moments to read our article on How to Get Rid of German Roaches. You will find some really great tips on applying the products for the best control. Please let us know if you need anything else.
Termidor SC is made to bind to soil molecules which allows it to last for 10 years whereas Termidor applied to porous surfaces such as rock and/or gravel will only last and remain effective for a few months.
The Termidor SC we sell is not expired. This is one our most popular products so we are constantly restocking. Our warehouse also has a rotation system in place to ensure there are no expired products in place. However, if for any reason the product you receive is outdated, let us know & we can send you a prepaid return label for it.
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.
Yes, Termidor SC is safe for pets once dry. Just keep them out of the area while applying.

Termidor SC can only be applied around the foundation of your home or other building structure for pest control. You cannot use the product around the fence because it is not labeled for this type of application. It can be used to trench only around the fence posts if treating for termites. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
You would want to wait until Termidor SC has dried completely before staining.
Termidor SC is safe if the pets are not in the area during treatment and until the surface area is completely dried. Then it is safe for them to re-enter.
Termidor will treat ants. You want to mix 0.8 fl oz. for each gallon of water. Please follow the label instructions as Termidor is only labeled as an ant treatment to be used above ground to the exterior foundation walls of your house, creating a treated area of protection for excellent ant control. And only to be applied twice a year.
You will need to use 1 gallon of solution per 10 sq. ft. of area at a rate of 0.80 oz. per gallon of water. You would need 630 gallons to treat the soil which is 20 bottles of Termidor SC. We suggest using 2 cases of Taurus SC Termiticide 78oz, each 78 oz bottle does around 100 gallons of solution.
Termidor SC should only be sprayed against the foundation as directed or applied as a backfill method as directed on the label. Do not apply Termidor SC within 5 feet of a well or cistern. Treatment within 5 to 10 feet of a well or cistern must be done by backfill method only (removing the dirt to be treated and replacing it after it has been treated elsewhere or in a container such as a wheelbarrow).
Termidor SC is not labeled for fleas and it is also not labeled for use in a lawn so it is not what we recommend for outdoor flea control. Suspend SC is labeled for fleas and for indoor use, but it is not the best choice for indoor flea control because you can not broadcast spray it over carpeted areas. We recommend you use our Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit to get rid of fleas in and around your home. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for a successful eradication program.
Yes, Termidor SC can be applied at the rate of 0.8fl oz per gallon of water to trees, wood fences, decking, landscape timbers, and other similar wood-to-soil contact materials. If possible, locate and treat the interior-infested cavity by injection.
Please refer to the Termites or Carpenter Ants in Trees or Nonstructural Wood or Wood-to-soil Contacts Section on page 13 of the product label for more information.
termidor SC is not allowed to be used anywhere other than around the foundation of the home 1-2 feet up and 1-2 feet out. It cannot be broadcast across yards or flowerbeds for any type of insect control, especially with sandy soils. If you want an insecticide that can be broadcast across the yard for ant and general insect control we would recommend something like Talstar P. It is a great general and broad-use insecticide that you mix at the rate of 1oz per gallon of water.
No, Termidor SC is not labeled for white grubs. You can use Dominion 2L Termiticide instead if you are looking for a liquid or Merit 0.5 G Insecticide Granules if you are looking for a granule. Both will work, just depends if you prefer to apply with a spreader or a sprayer.
Termidor SC works best if applied in a trench around the fence post. Another option will be using BoraCare. Boracare will penetrate into the wood and last for the lifetime of the wood if applied to raw unpainted wood. Once the Boracare has been applied to the fence, you will need to seal/stain/paint it to keep the rain from slowly washing it away over the years. If sealed, the Boracare will last for the life of the wood after application.
Termidor SC is not labeled for treating fire ants.
