    Q
    How do I use Termidor SC for a pier and beam home foundation?
    A

    To apply Termidor SC to a home with a pier and beam foundation, you will need to trench around each pier.  You will need to trench around any point where a support for the home touches the home.  If the piers are hollow blocks you also have to drill a hole in each pier to treat the inside space where termites could potentially travel up without hitting the treated soil around the pier.

    Q
    What is the best way to eliminate a termite infestation?
    I've lived in the house for twenty years, and used termite stakes for the last ten years along the back of the house that faces the woods. Today, I found termites swarming in the laundry of the first floor in the FRONT of the house. I don't see any dirt tubes, so I don''t know how they got in. Will Termidor SC with a trench application around the foundation kill the termites in the house? Or do I need to use foam? If I need to use foam, how is it applied?
    A

    Termidor SC is applied in a trench and in drilled holes directly around all sides of the structure. It will take approx. 90 days to kill any active colonies depending on their size. You can apply Termidor Foam in the wall voids in the sheet rock to spot treat activity. Please read the article below for more information on treating termites.

    Q
    When treating the perimeter of the house for ants, will Termidor SC harm the local reptiles?
    I live in Florida and have many reptiles such as Tree Frogs, Lizards and Snakes around and on the house. Will using Termidor SC as directed be safe for them.
    A
    As long as you use the Termidor SC as directed by the label around the home, it will be safe to reptiles and other animals. You may notice a decrease in the amount of lizards and frogs you see around the home however as they are feeding on the pests that are around your home that the Termidor will be eliminating. If they dont have enough food sources around your home to sustain themselves then they may migrate to other areas to try and survive.

    Q
    A "professional" sprayed Termidor all over my yard and all around my son's play area and swing set.
    After reading these q&a's I am very concerned! He did it for ants and ticks. What do I do now to insure my 4 yr old, dog and unborn child are safe while we are outside.
    A
    As you stated the product label specifically states to not spray Termidor on play sets. As a general rule, once the product has dried it is safe for children and pets to be around. If you are concerned about any possible problems, please contact BASF at 1-800-777-8570

    Q
    Termites in water well house. Why can't I use Termidor to kill them?
    I have a 8 X 6 wood frame water well house on a slab with plywood walls infested with termites. The actual well pump is 75 feet underground in a PVC casing. Only the well cap, the holding tank and electrical hookup is visible in the house. The well is used only for outside irrigation.
    A
    The Termidor SC product label states that you cannot use Termidor SC closer than 5 feet from a well or cistern. Please contact the manufacturer for more information, BASF 800.526.1072.

    Q
    Can I use Termidor in a barn where I keep bunnies?
    I've recently found drywall termites in my barn where I run a Rabbit Rescue. They were isolated in one spot, under a water heater in a back bathroom. I've since moved bunnies from the room, but can Termidor be used in that space with other bunnies in the barn or do all need moved out?
    A

    If treating in the barn at all for termites with Termidor you would want all the bunnies and any other animals out of the entire area during the treatment and until its dried and settled, typically over a couple of hours time frame. Bunnies can be sensitive to chemical use so having them all removed from the whole barn during that process is recommended.

    Q
    Is 6 inches deep enough when trenching? How come drilled holes have to be deeper?
    I am getting more confident in being able to tackle trenching and drilling for Termidor. I noticed that the guide states when you are drilling around the foundation, the deeper you go, the better. How come this is not the case for trenching? Do sub-termites not live deeper than 6 inches into the soil? And what is the recommended method in pouring Termidor down the drilled foundation, should you use a funnel?
    A
    The trench should be 6" x 6" as stated in the product label as the large volume of dilution will go deeper than the 6" (the termites usually come closer to the surface to forage as that is where the wood will come into contact with the soil). The drilled holes should be deeper because you are trying to pump in such a large volume of diluted product into a tiny space and the deeper the thin hole the easier it will be for the product to disperse into the soil.
