  • Asked by Mark from Coventry, Ct
    05/21/2017
    Q
    Are there any outdoor spray products you sell for ants that can be shipped to Connecticut?
    I have noticed CT tightened their rules since my last purchase. What insecticide that is highly rated as an outdoor spray that I can have shipped here for control of black ants?
    A

    Connecticut is one of the strictest states regarding limiting purchase and application of insecticide concentrates by persons without a Pest Control Operator's license. Two great options for ant control that include a non-repellent active ingredient are Arilon Insecticide (like a sprayable bait), or Transport Mikron Insecticide (dual-active ingredient). Please let us know if we can further assist you.

  • Asked by Craig from Mountville, Pa
    05/16/2017
    Q
    Can Taurus SC be put into a sprayer and used on floor joists in a crawl space?
    I need a product that is recommended to kill a current infestation in my crawl space joists that won't cause them to spread to the rest of the house.
    A

    Taurus SC is really only labeled to be used outdoors around the perimeter of a structure.  If you need to treat floor joists in a crawl space, a product like Bora-Care would be a better option.  Bora-Care can be sprayed, brushed or foamed onto bare wood surfaces and voids, where it will be absorbed throughout the wood, rather than just treating the surface like Taurus would do.
