    Q
    Will Termidor SC kill sugar ants?
    A

    Termidor SC can kill sugar ants when used outside around the perimeter of the home but these are not actually a species of ant. It is just what ants that are looking for a sugar/carb based food are called since they go for sweets.  We would suggest using either the Indoor or Outdoor Ant kit depending on where you are seeing activity.

    Q
    Demand CS and Termidor SC in the same areas...
    I've seen that you should not use Demand in the same areas as Termidor. Why is that? I am planning to begin my own pest control program and my previous pest guy would put down Termidor and Demand in the late spring.
    A

    No, Demand CS and Termidor can not be used in the same area at the same time. Termidor SC is a non-repellent product that works with a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect. Termidor SC also has a very limited label that only allows you to use it on or immediately adjacent to a structure. Demand CS on the other hand is broadly labeled and will kill the insects that walk over treated surfaces. If you mix the two together you will be losing the non-repellent factor and transfer effect of the Termidor SC and you will be severely limiting the places you can spray the Demand CS. Termidor SC is not labeled to be tank mixed with other products.

    Q
    If Termidor SC was to be applied on any lawn, plants, trees, bushes. etc, would it kill them?
    A
    Termidor is not labeled for use on trees, plants or turf.  It is only labeled for use around your homes foundation for termites, ants, and other selected pests.  Termidor SC should have no effect on plants that are inadvertently sprayed with the product. It is important to read and follow the Termidor SC product label which states that you can only treat one foot up from and one foot out from where the ground meets the structure. The label also recommends that you remove or prune away plants, shrubs or tree branches that touch the structure. Vegetation that comes into contact with the structure may offer a route of entry for the ants allowing them to enter the structure without ever having come into contact with the treated area

  • Asked by Jeff from Snellville, Ga

    Q
    How to treat home with full basement, brick siding, and hollow block wall with solid cap?
    One side of basement hollow block wall is almost completely under ground (7 feet). Brick does not go underground on that side but does on the other sides. Half of the basement is finished so there is no access to the hollow block walls in that section which includes half the wall that is almost completely underground. My house was built in 1982 and at some point block walls were drilled as was the attached garage slab. I have owned for 20 years. What should my trench goal be? Should I be concerned with creating a 1-foot deep barrier or do I attempt to reach the footing 7 feet below the surface? The finished portion of basement has drop tile ceiling and every year I inspect and find no termite evidence. But we do have termites in wood pile which is 60 feet from house.
    A
    First, please review our Barrier treatment article.   You still want to trench 6inx6in all the around the perimeter. You do not have to reach the footer. In places you cannot trench you would drill every 12 in using a 18 in long 1/2 inch wide drill bit. It is fantastic that you keep up with your inspections. Unfortunantly, many areas of the U.S. are prone to termites. It is very common to find termites out in the yard. The best way to protect your home from termites would be with this barrier treatment using Termidor SC. Once in the soil Termidor will bind with it and last up to 10 years. Each 20 oz bottle will give you 60 feet of trenching.

    Q
    How long is Termidor SC in soil a problem for a vegetable garden?
    We had Termidor applied to our soil a little over 5 years ago. We just planted a vegetable garden in the soil where it was applied. Do we need to discard and start over with new soil or has enough time passed? Does it wear off? Also if we handled the soil, is that a problem? We have a 5 year old who wants to do the gardening.
    A
    You should not plant anything edible in the same soil that was treated with Termidor SC. Termidor SC persists in soil for at least 10 years and it is not labeled to be used in places where edible plants will be grown. If you really do want to plant a vegetable garden in an area that was treated with Termidor SC you will need to remove all of the soil and replace it with untreated soil. You should note though that if the soil is removed and it is in the termite treatment barrier zone you will be left with a hole in your termite barrier.  When handling the soil it would be recommended to wear gloves and to wash hands thoroughly after.

    Q
    I live in south TX, will Termidor SC work for the termites down here?
    Also, today I saw a 5 inch line of holes in one of my outer walls thru the outside on the side of my house. I had a couple of old boards and moved them and saw they had a lot of termites. I killed most of them by stepping on them and took the boards to my truck to get thrown away, How can I battle the ones inside my walls?
    A

    Termidor SC is labeled for all types of termites.  How you use it is determined by the species of termites you are dealing with.  If you have termites in your home, we recommend doing the liquid treatment as outlined in the "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article and then inside the home where you know you have the termites you will treat them directly by injecting the Termidor into the wall or cutting a hole into the wall and spraying on the wood or however you can get the product to the termites. It only needs to touch a few termites to work.

    Q
    Can Termidor SC be mixed with Demon WP?
    A
    You cannot mix Termidor SC with Demon WP nor would you want to. Termidor SC is a non-repellent product that works with a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect. Termidor SC also has a very limited label that only allows you to use it on or immediately adjacent to a structure. Demon WP on the other hand is a broadly labeled synthetic pyrethroid that will kill the insects that walk over treated surfaces. If you mix the two together you will be losing the non-repellent factor and transfer effect of the Termidor SC and you will be severely limiting the places you can spray the Demon WP. Termidor SC is not labeled to be tank mixed with other products.
