Taurus SC Termiticide is really the superior product between it and the Dominion. If you applied as directed and treated the soil well in the area you would not need to go over with Dominion. If the soil was not wet enough after applying 4 gallons over 10 lineal feet, you can go back with a mix of the Taurus to make sure the soil was treated properly.
Taurus SC Termiticide can only be sprayed 1 ft up and 1 ft out directly up against the foundation of the structure twice a year at 0.8 fl oz per gallon. It is not the product recommended for stinkbug treatments. Please check out our Overwintering Kit and Stinkbug Control Article for more helpful information on a successful eradication.
Taurus SC is labeled for Formosan termites. It is recommended that you do a trench treatment around the structure. If you have seen activity in specific areas, it is safe to inject the product in the wood. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Formosan Termites for a successful eradication program.
Taurus SC Termiticide can be applied prior to pouring concrete slabs, etc. You can trench each individual pier as well for termite prevention. It is very important to apply more around the perimeter edges of the slab, around plumbing pipes that will come through the slab, and along expansion joints if you know where they will be. Since these are the more likely entry points of termites you want to make sure you treat more heavily around these areas. You should take general precautions when applying any product which would be to wear gloves, protect your eyes if it is windy, and treat only in the designated area where your slab will be poured.
Taurus SC is not labeled to be applied as a broadcast over the yard. Protecting the home is most important. Even if you have not seen evidence of termites at the house, we would recommend doing a trench treatment for protection around the structure and piers. For monitoring termites, you could look at using the HexPro Termite Baiting System to detect activity.
No, it would not be recommended or legal to mix Taurus SC or Dominion 2L at rates other than what is stated on the product label.
One finished gallon of Taurus SC Termiticide should cover approx 1000 sqft. It should only be applied with a pump or backpack sprayer.
Taurus SC Termiticide can be applied around the structure when it is not raining as a perimeter spray for ants. If you have ants in the lawn or inside the structure, we would advise using the other items in our Outdoor/indoor Ant Kit. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Ants for a successful eradication program. Phantom aerosol can be applied to interior crevices monthly. We do offer insecticide and bait granules for the lawn as well.
Taurus SC Termiticide is not labeled to be used as a broadcast across the lawn so we are unable to provide this information.
Taurus SC is applied every 6 months for ants per the product label. If you applied less than 6 months ago you do not need to reapply.
When you have any concrete against the home (such as a patio or garage that shares walls with inside rooms) that prevents you from trenching across it, you have to drill holes ever 12 inches apart and treat each hole with roughly 1/2 to 1 gallon of mixed solution. Each hole should be drilled with a bit that is roughly 1/2 wide and 18 inches long. Please review the Taurus SC Product Label and our article How To Do A Termite Treatment for all the proper techniques for a home owner to treat this area. If drilling is not an option you would at least trench around the non concrete walls and around the piers in the crawl space. For inside walls of the crawl space this is usually only done when you have an active infestation but you can do for just prevention if you choose.
Taurus SC Termiticide is highly toxic to honey bees and should not be used in areas where they are known to forage or frequent.
We recommend to use Taurus SC Be sure to check out our Termite Guide.
Taurus SC Termiticide should not be a lawn treatment outdoors but can be applied 1 ft up and 1 ft out around the exterior of the structure. For more information on outdoor flea applications, please refer to our treatment article.
You will want to measure the lineal feet around the exterior of the structure for the amount of Taurus SC Termiticide that you will need. It is not measured in square footage for these barrier applications. A 78 oz bottle of Taurus SC Termiticide will treat 240 lineal feet (makes 100 gallons of solution).
The Taurus SC Termiticide is labeled for yellow jackets and can be sprayed in eaves and around openings to help eliminate them, but we cannot recommend to use the Tuarus SC Termiticide on cat food as you would the Onslaught as it would be off the product label.
Taurus SC Termiticide is NOT labeled for indoor general pest control. The Taurus SC Termiticide product label only allows indoor applications to wall voids (behind sheet rock), unfinished attics, unfinished basements, and crawlspaces for active termite infestations. Taurus SC Termiticide could be harmful if used indoors and would be in violation of the product label. We would recommend using Phantom indoors as an alternative.
Taurus SC is not labeled for lawn use or any use away from the structure. You would need to apply around the perimeter of the structure, one foot up and one foot away. You would mix at the same dilution ratio .8 oz per gallon per 1,000 sqft and treat once every 6 months.
Yes, Taurus SC is a great option for treating the foundation around the exterior of the home for carpenter ants. For complete indoor control of Carpenter Ants, we would suggest the Indoor Carpenter Ant Kit that comes with Temprid Ready Spray for along the baseboards, a sweet bait and protein bait.
