Customer Reviews for Taurus SC Termiticide

Worked perfectly NO MORE ANTS! I was going to purchase the Termidor SC but then decided on this instead. The product worked great in my sprayer. A few days later I started seeing dead insects. Next I need to do the termite treatment. Great product will purchase again.

I have a log home in Northern Minnesota. Didn't even know I had an ant problem until I saw huge Carpenter Ant Swarmers leave my sill plate outside. I killed about 60 large swarmers that are 1" long in two hours! I purchased bait. Toro...they didn't touch. Bought another protein bait just for carpenter ants...they didn't touch. I bought the carpenter ant gel (just for carpenter ants), didn't work. I think they were in nest building mode! I ordered this Taurus SC Termiticide and used right a way the first evening as I saw hundreds more going into one of my logs. It was supposed to rain that evening. I didn't care. I sprayed that whole side and the hole they were crawling into. That evening in rained 2 inches. To my disbelieve, no ants in sight the next day or even 5 days later. I couldn't believe it. I sprayed again the perimeter 1 foot on the ground and 1 foot up my house. This time with no rain in the forecast for all future ants that want to take over my house. This product works awesome! I will never buy bait again. 5 Star product and a lot cheaper than hiring an exterminator for $500+

Fast and pleasure doing business. May be my own fault not asking enough questions but still no problems with product, delivery, or billing or getting thru to office. Only one thing would be an advantage to me would be written explaination with illustrations.

After drilling a hole in our home's outside wall to secure a drain pipe, an army of carpenter ants came marching out of the tiny hole! Freak out time! Panicking, I began to call an insecticide company but then I remembered Do My Own company, got some great advice and instructions and bought a generic version of Termidor. I used it all around the perimeter of my home and 1 foot up on the outside of the walls. The carpenter ants disappeared as well as a host of other insects, much to my surprise. Thanks!

This is the only stuff I have used that actually gets rid of the spiders and ants I have around my house. When you spray this stuff you are bringing a little piece of the apocalypse to the bugs at your home.

I'm so thankful for Domyown.com due to I'm on limited income and can no longer pay a professional to treat my house. When I calculated what it cost me for the first 5 year treatment, it average out to be $240.00 a month for 5 years. I have a local DIY pest control that sells this product but was charging twice as much. Would have liked to buy local but wasn't willing to pay 100% mark up. Doing it myself was not EZ but doable, and afterwards wondered if the pro 5 years ago actually did a complete job the 3 hours 2 guys where there. It took me alone 2 full days and some hard work to trench & drill 2200 sq. ft. house. It's hard to believe that in just 5 years after trenching it would be as if it was never trenched. I re-drilled the holes that the pros drilled, and found they didn't go deep enough, what I mean is this, when my house was built it had a standard 4 inch slab outside the glass sliding doors & front door entry, later up grade to tile entry way and a screened in porch where the glass sliding doors are which required build up and another 4 inches of concrete. Therefore the first 4 inches drilled easily, but the second had never been drilled due to they did not drill with a long enough bit. Would this have mattered, I don't know cause I'm no pro, but now I at least know I've done all I could do to protect my house! Just thought I would give a heads up for anyone who might have the same application. May the good Lord bless you if you choose to do the same.

Bought and used this Taurus SC after Swarmers invaded my shower room on 4/22/18. Read up on termites from various sites then adopted an attack plan. Trenches around the house and poured in the prescribed % mixture on 4/29/18. I also planted Spectracide spikes around the entire house. Due to extensive and elaborate interior tile work in the shower room I opted to open up exterior walls on 7/8/18 to check on damage. It was extensive. 60% of bottom plate was destroyed as well as 2 studs eaten away up 4' from the plate. But the termites were gone when I opened it up. Mud tunnels were everywhere. I carefully chiseled away damaged wood and replaced with new. Next begins swabbing on Tim-Bor to all exposed wood before closing up. I've got another 8' of exterior to open up after this is closed. If I find no active termite presence in there then I'll begin to hope that the Taurus SC found its way into the nest. But how do you ever know for sure?

I was using a different product from domyown and ran out. Called and talked to the sales dept and described what I needed and they redone fed Taurus SC. She told me the recommended usage design. Got it a few days later, mixed it up and sprayed. Some people complain about spraying bugs with this and they don't die immediately, we'll its not designed to do that. It gets on the bugs and the house and they carry it back. Then mass death occurs. A week later all ant trails are gone. No new webs on porch or anywhere around the house. I did not use this for termites as we don't have them but hopefully this prevents. Just give it a few days and done. A friend who is a pest control guy pointed me to this company to save me a ton of money and they have, and also we have no bugs. Will not use any other company.

Started using this product at a friend's cabin in the mountains. The next morning he informed me that we have a problem...we had to remove thousands of dead bugs from the cabin and the out buildings I had sprayed. We returned about 2 months later and sprayed once again but did not see any dead bugs the following day. That means the product works and works great!

I have a fire pit and someone was giving away free wood in the beginning of spring because they were clearing their lot. The wood being free and me being cheap, I took a lot of wood. This lead to the swarming of carpenter ants in my backyard during the past week as the weather started to warm in the northeast. They established a new nest or satellite colony somewhere in my house. After Terro ant bait from Amazon (Boric Acid) did some, but not all of the work. I followed up by using Taurus SC around the perimeter of my house, Termidor foam in the affected walls, max force gel bait (sugar), advance carpenter ant bait (protein), and phantom II aerosol spray along the interior baseboards and crevices. After a few days of seeing some drunk looking ants walking around and dying, I can say with some confidence that the population is nearing elimination. I will continue by spraying some huge rotting logs that are spread along my property because carpenter ants forage far and wide. If you have to go to war against these critters, I suggest using some of the products I mentioned. I also suggest hunting around your property for rotting wood and treating it. Thanks to DoMyOwn I didn't have to hire an exterminator and saved a few shekels.

Local termite inspector pointed out we had subterranean termites in a corner of our garage here is southern CA. Unfortunately, they wanted $1200 to trench the perimeter and soak the soil for treatment. Purchased this product, sprayed the active tubes with it, and did our own trenching and soil soak, which saved us about $800 and happened on our own schedule. Mixing in a 5 gallon bucket couldn't be easier. Utube video of how to do this if you need explicit instructions. Not sure how long the residual will last, although I've read it may work for 10 years. In our case, it has ELIMINATED our termite issue and ELIMINATED the ant issues we were having all around the base of our home. I did not spray it on the exterior walls, so we still have spiders, but 2 out of 3 isn't bad!

I have been fighting a losing battle against ants in our home for the last three years. I have tried all kinds of alternative, less toxic and therefore (supposedly) safer methods, ranging from ant traps to boric acid baits to diatomaceous earth to cedar oil, all to no avail. When they finally showed up in our bed (!) I knew I had to do something different. So I went online and did some research and found out what commercial pest control people are using. That's when I ordered Taurus SC. We have two houses on our property and I used the product externally as directed. The very next day I realized that there were NO ants in either house. And the best news is that they are still absent a month later. It was so easy to apply and I am confident it is quite safe if applied correctly. I often hear companies making claims about what their product will do, and have been disappointed so many times. This one works! Thank you! Sincerely, Ant-free in San Diego

This product has high ratings, but getting the product in this volume has allowed me to section off my DIY work, not be concerned about running short and easy to keep the thick plastic container clean. Some tips are; that on a 5 gallon bucket the thick lining for the handle is very close to if not exactly 4 gallons, cut a plastic soda bottle in half (16oz or less) and measure the amount of product needed and mark it with permanent marker on the bottom half. This way you can use a simple disposable measuring cup for how much product to use for each 4 gallon concoction your making. This is easier to use than the hopper built into the product container. Other than that the instructions are very good, unlike most people make sure you read them. Do My Own also has the instructions online and unless you can read 1 or 2 size font ... you need to read the instructions online ... this was key for me because I needed old man font.

Really a quality product. Highly recommended. Asked a professional pesticide vendor what he was using at work and he was kind enough to tell me. Works great. Be careful if used it says on the label not to use inside.

This is the best ant and termit killer that I have ever used. It works to kill the queens. It will take a few days but check the ant beds a week later, the whole nest will be dead. GREAT PRODUCT.

I used it for a perimeter treatment for ants. I tried several insecticides prior and while they kept the ants away for a while they always came back. One application of this and I haven't seen an ant in weeks. It works great. Follow the directions and you will be good to go.

I used for carpenter and pavement ants that had set up trails and nests into my home. Imediately knocked out the carpenter ants and within a few days knocked out the pavement ant nests. Also killed tons of spiders and earwigs that I didn't know were living under the first row of siding. No smell, no stain, no stickiness, you can't even tell where you've applied this stuff. I love to watch the ants walk through it knowing that they are going to be helping me kill the colony by taking back the poison. Fast shipping. Good directions.

$54.00 may sound expensive for a bug killer; but that breaks down to only $2.16 per gallon, and this product isn't available at HD or Lowes at ANY price!! I did a perimiter treatmeant around my girlfriend's house and a long running whitefoot ant problem is now history!! i also drenched some fire ant mounds, and they're also toast!! The chemical cost was only about two bucks for the whole treatment... i hat to think what an exterminator would've charged!! just remember to let this stuff do it's job.. refrainn from using any kind of knock down chemical.. the bugs have to live long enough to bring this stuff home to their nests to kill the residents....

I used it the day after it under the house arrived and have checked twice in the couple of weeks since then and have not seen any more termites. I even used it around a tree that had ants crawling up and down it and as of yesterday no ants. We were starting to get those big bugs, some people call them Palmetto bugs, coming into the house a couple of times a week but since sprayed under the house with the Taurus SC Termiticide have not seen any of them either. I plan to order another bottle when this one is almost gone.

I aplied this product according to the instructions provided by "Do Your Own Pest Control's" youtube video. It was applied fast and with minimal efforts. The Taurus SC product lasts longer and requires less fluid volume drilling to eradicate termites. The price was absolutely unbeatable.

This product eradicated persistent ants we had battled as advertised. Within two days the ants were gone, their mounds were abandoned and we are delighted! We have been able to reclaim our patio and yard.
