No, Termidor SC is water based. There are no petroleum distillates in it.
We do not sell Wisdom TC Flowable and cannot comment on its effectiveness on termites. One of our most popular products for subterranean termites is Termidor SC.
Termidor will protect your home and eliminate almost any termite problem in less than 90 days. In addition, when used as an in-ground barrier treatment, Termidor will protect your home or business for over 10 years. Please see our Subterranean Termite Treatment page.
Termidor SC can be shipped to homeowners in California for applying as directed to their own property without having a license. You will need a license issued by the state if you plan to treat a property that you do not own or for profit.
Yes, Termidor SC can mixed with an IGR, although there are not that many applications where this would be beneficial. You would need to use an IGR that is labeled for outdoor perimeter use, such as NyGuard IGR. Be sure to check the labels on how and where to spray both products.
Yes, Termidor SC is harmful to bees that come in contact with treated surfaces. To avoid bee exposure, we recommend that you follow all label instructions and perform outdoor treatments in the early morning or late evening.
Yes, you can use Termidor SC around the perimeter of your home and in the crawl space. If your house is on piers, you will need to treat around each one. It is not necessary to do a treatment in the crawl space if you cannot get to the area.
As long as Termidor SC has time to dry and bind with the soil, the rain will not affect it. It is best to wait until you have a few days of no rain in the forecast so there is at least 24 - 36 hours time after you treat before it rains. After that it will hold quite well to rain and weather.
No, there is no need to be concerned. As long as your vegetable garden is not directly sprayed with the Termidor SC or so close to the treatment area that runoff or overspray comes in contact with the garden, Termidor SC is safe to use. There is no worry of ants transferring Termidor to any vegetation.
Yes, Termidor SC will kill wasps and it is labeled for wasps. However, Termidor SC is also labeled to only be used on a structure or immediately around the foundation of a structure. So, while it will not damage or harm the wood of the swing set it is not labeled to be used there. You can use a pyrethrin product such as Wasp Freeze to knockdown the wasps that are currently buzzing around. We do not recommend spraying anything directly onto swing sets as the children will come in repeat contact with the insecticides. Finding the wasp nest and treating it directly would be the most effective treatment. Some species of wasps can also be baited. You can set out an empty tuna fish can and see if the wasps are attracted to it. If the wasps are attracted to it, you can try baiting with our Yellow Jacket Bait Station Kit.
Termidor SC does come in a 78oz bottle for licensed applicators. If you can get inside of the foundation through for example a crawlspace Termidor SC should be applied in a trench like around the outside perimeter. One 20oz bottle treats 60 linear feet of trenching.
