    Will Taurus SC kill mole crickets?
    Mole crickets around the house will this product kill them? Will it kill my St Augustine lawn if I use it?

    Taurus SC is not labeled for mole crickets.  You cannot use Taurus SC out in the lawn as this type of treatment is prohibited by the Taurus product label. Taurus can only be used on or within one foot of a structure.  We have a great Treatment Guide for Mole Crickets here.

    Q
    While applying Taurus SC Termiticide the product got on my vegetables (kale, lettuce) is it still safe to consume them?
    The vegetables (kale , lettuce) are only two feet from fence. Should I consume or not.
    A

    You should not consume any edible vegetation that has come in direct contact with Taurus SC Termiticide. General rule of thumb is that you should keep Taurus SC treatments at least 10 feet away from any edible vegetation and you should discard anything that may be contaminated with a direct spray.

  • Asked by Dc from Orlando, Fl
    07/31/2017
    Q
    Can I spot treat with Taurus SC indoors under the slab and on replacement wood?
    I have subterranean termites infesting my hardwood floor tiles (over a slab foundation). Last week I applied Taurus SC via trenching the exterior permimeter of the house (as well as drilling the carport and porches near the walls). I have pulled up the ruined wood tiles in several areas inside the house. Is it safe to drill through the slab indoors and inject Taurus SC below the slab in these areas? I would plug the holes immediately. Also (as I happen have some replacement floor tiles handy) can I spray the UNDERSIDE of some of the replacement tiles (outside) and (after they have thoroughly dried) place these tiles back in the house (Taurus SC side DOWN) on the slab? I am hoping this might help get a head start on wiping out the termites that are active in the floor now. I do not want to jeopardize the health of my self or pets, however. Please advise. Thanks.
    A

    Yes, you can inject Taurus SC under the slab that is part of the house area. This would be considered part of your termite treatment since they were found active in this area. You would NOT be permitted to apply the Taurus SC to the new wood that is being installed. The best product for this application would be Boracare which is a wood preservative that can be applied to any raw wood and lasts for the life of the wood.

  • Asked by Mary from Fallbrook, Ca
    08/04/2017
    Q
    What is the best outdoor ant spray?
    These are just the common ants and every year we get several invasions. We can control the inside with bait stations but need something safe for animals for outside.
    A

    Our most popular spray for ant control outdoors around structurers is Taurus SC. This is a liquid concentrate that you would apply with a hand pump sprayer and treat all around the foundation of the structure, treating 1 foot up onto the house and 1 foot out from it on the ground. You should also spot treat places where the ants are likely to enter such as door frames, window frames, and where utilities enter. Taurus SC is pet safe once the application is dry. You can learn more tips and see videos in our Ant Treatment Guide, too.

    Q
    Is Taurus SC Termiticide good to spray on wood decks as a preventative?
    I have a large wood deck that I'd like to treat. We found some termites and I want to make sure they don't make it onto the deck and then in the house.
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide works great as a termite preventative in soil.  We would recommend applying Boracare as a wood treatment prior to sealing or painting. Please see our Termite Guide for the most up to date tips for termite treatment and prevention.

  • Asked by Kristopher from Rock Hill, Sc
    08/18/2017
    Q
    If the foundation of the house is more than 5 feet from a well, can I still use Taurus SC?
    I have a termite issue and as a DIY'er I am determined to resolve the issue without paying a lot of money to Terminix. My problem that I keep running into is my well. The well is located about 10 feet from the foundation of my home. I want to know after I trench and treat will I be contaminating my well water?
    A

    In the area where the well is located, you cannot use the trenching method, only the backfill method is allowed. The backfill method instructs you to trench and place the soil that was removed onto a tarp, pour 1 gallon of diluted solution per 1 cubic ft of soil, mix thoroughly, return soil to trench. The complete instructions are listed on the Taurus product label under the heading "Treatment of structure with wells or cisterns"

  • Asked by Jon
    08/28/2017
    Q
    Is is okay to apply Dominion 2L on top of Taurus SC?
    I've applied Taurus SC with the trench method, then backfilled and then applied 1 gallon of Taurus on top of the backfill every 10 feet. I feel like that wasn't enough and was curious if it's okay to apply Dominion 2L onto the top soil for more saturation.
    A

    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.
