Product Overview

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).

How to do a Termite Treatment

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

    By Roscoe on 03/02/2013

    Verified Purchase

    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!

    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

    Verified Purchase

    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.

    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!

Q
I do I treat with Termidor FOAM for Termites in garage only?

I see 2 termite paths on one wall of my garage. The other side of the wall is interior of my house. The house is concrete slab. Should I treat the whole house with Termidor injections 1 foot apart or should I just treat the garage. Is it necessary to treat every year?

A

We do recommend that you spot treat the area you have seen with the activity using Termidor FOAM. We also recommend that you treat around the outside perimeter of the foundation with Termidor SC.  Please refer to our Termite Guide for helpful tips and application videos.

Q
Is Termidor FOAM the best way to treat for termites coming in around a sewer pipe that passes through a cinder block wall?
A

Termidor FOAM can be used for a direct application to termite activity in wall voids, but has limited labeling for use outdoors.  If you have a subterranean termite infestation you would need to do a trench treatment around your home/structure with a termiticide such as Termidor SC.  You can refer to our Termite Treatment Guide for tips on how to do the treatment properly.

Q
Can Termidor FOAM be used on bamboo floors to treat for what I believe is Drywood Termites?

So far I have used FUSE Foam on bamboo floor where I have seen kick-outs of some kind and black marks under top surface as well as into holes drilled along the baseboards going through to the inside cavity of wall. Taurus SC was used in a ditch for termites, how long should I do before rain?

A

Termidor FOAM can be used in localized areas to treat for active termites in flooring by using the holes already in the wood from termites or by drilling directly into the areas and injecting the foam. FUSE Foam contains both Imidacloprid and Fipronil so double treating the same areas with Termidor Foam would not be needed. 

BoraCare would be an alternative option for termites in wood flooring for both active termites and/or for preventative termite treatments. BoraCare absorbs completely throughout the wood and will last the entire life of wood however it can only be applied to raw untreated wood that is not painted,stained or sealed. Sufaces would need to be sanded down to the bare wood or injected into holes drilled into the wood. 

View our Drywood Termite Guide for more information. 

When using Taurus SC for the termite trench method, the application should have atleast 24 hrs to dry before any rainfall is expected.

Q
Foam Leaks back under Cap while injecting

When I press the cap to inject the foam it leaks back under the cap and covers the can and my hands. Is this correct or did I get a dud cap or am I using it wrong. I ended up just taking the cap off and using the actual can and top as the applicator.

A
It could or could not be a defective can. Please call us Mon-Fri 9-5 EST. We would like to help trouble shoot with you and find a solution to this problem. We appreciate your business and look forward to speaking with you soon!

Q
Will Termidor FOAM leave water stains on the inside of wall when applied to wall voids?
A

When performing a spot treatment behind a wall, it is very important to drill directly into the affected stud and foam into the termite galleries as well as the void on either side of the stud. You will not foam the entire void with Termidor Foam, rather you will drill a hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel. Foam is preferred because it has the ability to expand and travel deep into the termite galleries, cracks and crevices, and wall void much better, which does provide better coverage than liquids. It should not cause any staining if used as directed.

Q
Do I treat the void or drill holes in the studs using Termidor FOAM?

I can hear the popping and cracking suspected sound of termites in a wall between my utility room and dining room.

A

Termidor FOAM should be applied into the drilled holes. You will not foam the entire wall void, rather you will drill a hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel. If you are seeing them along the baseboard areas, drill holes every 8-10 inches apart across the area between studs, about an inch or 2 above the baseboard.

Q
Can I use Termidor Foam for termite treatment above windows?
A

Yes, you can treat this infestation using Termidor Foam. You will need to drill into the infested area to 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 product becomes approximately 1 quart of foam. For more tips, we recommend to read over step 1 of our article on How to Get Rid of Subterranean Termites.

Q
Termidor Foam vs Termidor SC?

What is the advantage of the foam vs the liquid termidor? Wouldn't spraying liquid termidor into a wall void at the top of the wall be essentially the same? If not better? Liquid termidor has a 6 month residual. Foam supposedly is good for only a few weeks. If you insert a spray nozzle into your wall and pull the trigger, all that liquid will saturate the wall and drip down covering the studs, insulation, drywall, whatever.... In fact I would think that liquid would be able to penetrate cracks and crevices better than any expanding foam.... So the drywall gets wet, big deal it will dry ... What say you?

A
Termidor Foam is the preferred option over Termidor SC when treating an active infestation of termites behind a wall. When performing a spot treatment behind a wall it is very important to drill directly into the affected stud and foam into the termite galleries as well as the void on either side of the stud. You will not foam the entire void with Termidor Foam, rather you will drill a hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel.

Q
TERMIDOR FOAM

How many feet will a can of termidor foam treat in a 2x6 wall

A
Termidor Foam will equal to 20 quarts of solution. You will not foam the entire void with Termidor Foam, rather you will drill a hole close to the top of the ceiling/stud on either side of the stud. Once the holes are in place on each side, inject the foam into each hole for 5-10 seconds, allowing the foam to expand but slide down the sides of the studs where they would travel. If you are seeing them along the baseboard areas, drill holes every 8-10 inches apart across the area between studs, about an inch or 2 above the baseboard. Use the same injection rate for each hole and let dry. It has some residual for about a month after it dissipates so if any are missed in the initial application the rest of the colony should be affected. If you know where an active infestation is, you should indeed direct treat with the Termidor Foam. The foam will only last for about 6 weeks because it is not bonding with soil molecules.
