Termidor FOAM contains Fipronil, the same active ingredient as Termidor SC, in a RTU (ready-to-use) foam that is labeled for termites and ants. Perfect for spot treatments, Termidor FOAM expands rapidly creating a dry foam that can be applied in the voids, harborages, galleries, and nests where insects are found. The foam generated has an expansion ratio of 30:1. In about 5 seconds 1 oz. of product becomes approximately 1 quart of foam.
Termidor FOAM can be applied in and around residential and commercial structures; structural and non-structural elements that are prone to insect attack (such as fences, utility poles, landscape timbers, bridges, or under slabs); or insect harborages. This product can be applied from the interior and/or the exterior according to label directions. To access some harborages the drilling of holes may be required.
Termidor FOAM helps to fulifill the Localized Interior (LI) component of a Exterior Perimeter/Localized Interior (EP/LI) treatment (also known as PerimeterPLUS).

Termidor product features:
Advanced undetectable technology
Termidor is made from a revolutionary new nonrepellent or "undetectable" chemical technology treatment. That means termites cannot see, smell, taste, or avoid Termidor. Instead they contact, ingest, and share it with their nestmates. This is in sharp contrast to older liquid termite controls, which rely on repellent barriers that termites can find breaks in or avoid completely.
The "Transfer Effect"
Termites who contact Termidor transfer it to every other termite they in turn contact, in a unique process called the "Transfer Effect." And because Termidor is engineered to be slow-acting, termites have ample time to spread it throughout their entire termite population.
Better than bait... without the wait
Baits can take years to control a termite colony. Termidor begins working immediately to wipe out termites inside and immediately surrounding your home. Termidor is the most effective and fastest at completely eliminating termite populations--up to six-times faster than bait.
TERMIDOR FOAM

I had never heard of termidor foam and had reservations as to it's value. Folks, it works. We made a small hole in the driwall between each wall stud and pierced a hole in the insulation so that I could spray the foam into the airspace. Then inserted the tube through the hole and gave it a squirt. The foam expanded and the termites that I could see began dying. After a couple days, there was no more signs of infestation.

Worked!
By Relaxtoday on 03/10/2013
I found their pencil hole entry and drilled it bigger. Then I put on gloves and put the foam in. It was easy and no more coffee grounds! A week later I found another area nearby with drywood termites. I did the same thing. It has been a few weeks and no more coffee grounds anywhere. This works!

Amazing product!!!
By Diane on 06/18/2014
I had a localized carpenter ant nest in a fully enclosed wall. The nest activity spanned a 4x5 foot area. After freaking out and receiving ridiculous exterminator quotes, I did some online research. I learned that the active ingredient in Termidor Foam, fipronil, is a safe and extremely effective chemical that works by direct and indirect contact. Even though the walls had fiberglass insulation, I was able to drill near the studs, and insert this foam into the voids. I only used one can for the the job. I saw results within 12 hours, and the problem was fully resolved within three days. I am thrilled with the effectiveness of this product, and am pretty excited that I was able to save $450+ by tacking this project on my own. Thank you for offering pro-quality pest control products to homeowners at very reasonable prices.

termidor exterminator!
By Sue on 03/28/2013
This product works great . I used it just as spring was approching the end of February to spot treat troubled infested areas from the past YEARS and in two weeks the termites began to appear . Only this time they were approximately less than 1/10 the amount flying out as there were last year I was extremely pleased!!!! You have no idea what a relief that was now I will treat the barrier around my home. And hope it works the rest of the way to destroy those annoying chewers thanks!

I see in the Termidor foam label that for certain types of treatment, the foam must dissipate or be removed before leaving the area. I have some damaged wood that was treated and I thought the foam would dissipate by itself, but it has not. I do have to remove the foam so that I can repair the wood, but how should this removal be accomplished? Thank you for your help with this question.

I sprayed the foam in the holes I drilled and the same day some came out with wings and died. I am treating a bedroom door and don't want them to get in to the bedroom. Can I close the drilled holes now so I don't have to worry or do I have to wait and how long?
It is recommended that you wait until the Termidor FOAM has dissipated and dried completely before sealing the drilled holes. This could take 1-2 hours.

I read the label and SDS. In the SDS, it says "For fences, treat exposed surfaces where termites or ants are active (foam must dissipate or be removed prior to leaving area)." My fence is quite infested and tunnels are visible from the outside already. Normally I inject the foam into a hole, but in this case, do I just spread the foam along the visible tunnels? Also, what is meant by "foam must dissipate?" And what is considered "removed prior to leaving area?" Thanks much.
When treating fences with Termidor FOAM, you will inject the foam in to the holes and can use a putty knife or spatula to spread the foam if needed. The product label states the applicator must ensure the application dissipates completely into the wood so the foam is not left exposed for non target insects or animals.
I'm seeing termite pellets and wood damage at the bottom of a window. I would drill several holes into the edge of the wood window and inject the foam. How long should I wait before doing the paint prep and applying paint on the treated wood? I will want to paint over the drilled hole/foam to hide the treatment.
Yes, you can use Termidor Foam in the window frame. You will need to drill into the infested area and apply the foam. Termidor FOAM expands rapidly creating a dry foam that can be applied in the voids, harborages, galleries, and nests where insects are found. The foam generated has an expansion ratio of 30:1. In about 5 seconds 1 oz. of a product becomes approximately 1 quart of foam. The foam will dissipate and dry clear, so you could paint anytime after the application has dried.
I have active mud tube in the walls of my boiler room. I plan to inject the foam into the wall. The boiler room is always warm with the boiler or furnace running in there. Would higher temperatures cause the chemicals to be in the air as vapor? If I have a water leak in the boiler room and the water comes into contact with the foam, is that unsafe?

I have Florida carpenter ants nesting in voids where my patio roof meets the main roof of my house. These ants are winged males coming out in the evening at dusk. I killed as many as I could see with Raid Ant and Roach killer, but I am sure that the nests are alive and well deep in the voids. I looked them up on the web and these ants do not destroy hard wood and prefer voids in structures or soft wood. What can I treat them with?

The foam will go away in 6 weeks but the treated area will be immune to termite for 10 years, right?
Yes, Termidor SC will last 10 years in the soil as a barrier treatment because the Fipronil bonds to the soil. Termidor Foam is used to get direct contact to the active colonies inside the wall voids and will disapate over time (usually 6 weeks)

I have dry wood termites in one short wall in my home. Can I kill them myself.
You can kill the termites yourself! The easiest and most efficient way would be to use Termidor Foam.
