    Q
    How does heavy rain affect ground treatment?
    I applied Termidor SC as ground treatment around my house. The next day it started raining and continued to rain for several days how does this affect the treatment?
    A

    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.

    How does rain affect the use to Termidor SC when using it to get crazy ant
    Wanting to spray the outer perimeter to my house and not sure if I should wait if rain is in the forecast

    You should not apply Termidor SC if it is going to rain the same day.  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.

  • Asked by Emily from Central Texas
    06/20/2014
    Q
    When applying Termidor SC for ant control is it a good idea to dampen the soil prior to treatment?
    or water it in after treatment?
    A
    According to the label, you should not apply Termidor SC when precipitation is occuring or treat soil that is water-saturated or frozen. 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.  Termidor SC is made to bond to the soil but it needs time to "set" and bond to hold up against a rain event.

    Q
    Is Termidor effective in freezing temperatures and rain?
    A

    Termidor SC should not be applied if the ground is below freezing, or it will not take hold. Also, 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.

    Q
    When is the best time to apply Termidor SC for termite or ant control? What about rain?
    If I treat the outside of my house in the morning and its supposed to rain that same evening will that change the effectiveness of the Termidor SC? How long in between rains should I wait before applying?
    A

    You should not apply Termidor SC if it is going to rain the same day.  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.  Termidor SC is made to bond to the soil but it needs time to "set" and bond to hold up against a rain event.

  • Asked by Humphrey from Oakland, Ca
    10/03/2015
    Q
    Rainy season is coming, should we treat asap or wait till dry season. Will rain wash away or dilute Termidor?
    Since Termidor claims to be effective for 10 years, will future rain affect the effectiveness of the chemical?
    A

    According to BASF the only times you cannot treat is if precipitation is currently happening or if the soil is over-saturated with water, frozen, or in conditions where runoff or soil movement from the area or treatment site will occur.  It would be great to not have rain after your termite treatment, but certainly not something that is “needed (or a must)” for the product to be efficacious or provide long-term residual activity/structural protection.

  • Asked by Andrea from Palm Beach Gardens, Fl
    06/06/2017
    Q
    What happens if it rains after Termidor SC is applied?
    Termidor was applied by a professional (Orkin) around the circumference of my home last Tuesday. Application dried however since last Tuesday we have had over one foot of rain (torrential with standing water in same areas that were treated). This was applied to treat active subterranean termites in our home. Have the rains decreased the efficacy of the termidor treatment? Thanks.
    A

    For best results, Termidor SC should be applied 24 hours before you are expecting any rain.  After that point the product will not be affected by rain.

    Q
    Can you do a termite trench while it is raining?
    A

    If you are applying Termidor SC you want to make sure there is not going to be rain for at least 24 hours after application. If you know it is going to rain within that time frame, you should wait until the rain is passed and will be sunny and dry for a day or two

    Q
    How rain fast is Termidor?
    I applied Termidor for a major ant problem around the house at 8:30 pm. The next day around noon we had a torrential downpour. Do I need to reapply? How quickly should it work?
    A
    Termidor SC will become rain fast after it has dried. This can take up to 6 hours. As long as the treated area was dry, you should be safe.
