    Q
    When using Termidor SC, how wide should the 6" deep trench be at bottom, would V shape be OK? How far out?
    Recently purchased the product from you.

    The trench around the home should be 6" deep by 6" wide right up against the foundation of the home when applying Termidor SC.

    Q
    What is the shelf life of Termidor SC?
    I had purchased two bottles of Termidor, Product ID: A0007, back in May of 2013. Is this product still effective and is it applied in the same manner as your current Termidor SC product?
    A
    Termidor SC has a 3-5 year shelf life from the date of purchase if stored away from extreme temperatures. Termidor Foam should have a shelf life of about 1-2 years. The nozzle and hose should just be rinsed with water after use. Termidor DRY shelf life if stored in a cool dry area is up to 3 years.

  • Asked by Greg from United States

    Q
    If I have borax powder around the foundation, can I still spray over the top of it with Termidor?
    Also, at what point do I stop baiting inside if I am not seeing anymore carpenter ants? I feel like if they are gone maybe focus on on outside to keep them from coming in. Also, should I keep baiting outside with Kit #1 vs a kill and repel approach? I don't want to bait inside if it will draw more in than out or what do suggest now for prevention again since I am not seeing anymore carpenter ants inside the house for more than a week now. Can I be confident that they are gone or just regrouping?
    A
    No, Termidor SC cannot be sprayed on top of any type of powder/dust. If you are no longer seeing activity inside, there is no need to continue baiting. More than likely, they have taken the bait to the colony and eliminated it. You can spray Termidor SC around the perimeter of your home outdoors only. This should only be sprayed twice a year. It is likely that they have been eliminated from your lawn/home if you are no longer seeing them.

    Q
    What do you recommend for a drywood termite infestation on a beam in the garage?
    After inspections by three different companies all have found signs of infestation only in this location, but two of them recommend fumigation, one will do spot treatment with Termidor for a lot of money. What method do you recommend for DIY?
    A
    If this is the only area, then Termidor would be a great choice.  Termidor does not penetrate through wood, so you cannot just apply it on the wood.  The trick is you have to drill holes into the center of the wood and inject it so it touches the termites.  As long as it only touches a few termites it will work.  You will only use a small amount of the Termidor, which is a concentrate, but the product will last for 5 years on the shelf and is also the best product for treating ants around your home as well.

    Q
    We are building a new house and want to do our own pest control, what is the best product to use?
    We would like to do our own pest control for new construction and want to prep the ground before hand and then control pests ongoing while the construction is going on. We are searching for the best pest control product to do this.
    A
    If you want to pre-treat before the slab is pured to control termites, Termidor SC would be the product of choice. Pre-slab and barrier treatments can last for up to 10 years for subterranean termite control.  For general pest control around the inside of and the outside of the house can be done with Talstar P. It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests.

  • Asked by Samuel from West Virginia
    06/02/2015
    Q
    Leaking of Termidor into the garage?
    In one of my houses, the garage foundation leaks a little water when we have hard rain. Will the trench method cause the termidor or any other product to leak into the property? I really don't want this stuff in my living space, do I?
    A
    Termidor has low solubility in water. It will bind with the soil and should not leak into your living space.

  • Asked by Andrew from Greensboro
    09/03/2023
    Q
    Is a perimeter treatment with Termidor effective at getting rid of an existing termite investigation?
    A

    Termidor SC is applied in a 6-inch deep x 6-inch wide trench around the home for the prevention and treatment of termites.  It would not be effective just sprayed on the surface as you would for general pests, because termites are inches below when foraging for food and do not crawl on the surface.  If you have an active infestation of termites inside you will have to find and directly spot-treat the wood they are infesting and apply in a trench. Please review our prevent and treat guides for complete information on how to treat and prevent.

  • Asked by Todd from Decatur, Ga
    10/28/2013
    Q
    Why do you say the trench only has to be 6"x6" when using Termidor as a barrier?
    The product label states that termidor needs to be applied to a minimum depth of 4 feet? Confused?
    A
    The only time that Termidor needs to be applied to a minimum depth of 4 ft is if the footer is more than 4 feet below grade. If you read further into the label you will see that a trench does not need to be wider that 6 inches and usually no deeper than 6 inches to acheive the needed barrier.
