    Q
    Just had a treatment of Termidor and my veggie garden was "injected" too because of proximity. Can I re-plant?
    The soil from the garden is against the house. We removed the plants for the treatment. Can they be replanted in the same spot?
    A
    No. You will be disrupting the barrier allowing termites to gain access to your home if you displace/disturb the soil to plant the garden. You will also be contaminating the vegetable plants as well by using the treated soil.

    Q
    How do I apply Termidor around a french drain?
    A

    Per the Termidor SC label: French drains eliminate water at the footing along a foundation perimeter. They are common in hollow block foundation structures to drain water seeping from the exterior perimeter or underneath the foundation. Soil must be dry before applying to sites with French drains. DO NOT rod through the slab any closer than 24 inches to the French drain to prevent Termidor SC finished dilution seepage and/or damage to the drain or the tiles. DO NOT apply Termidor SC within 5 feet of the sump pump pit and pump. To prevent drainage/seepage from the block into the drain, DO NOT drill through hollow block foundations that border the French drain.

    Once French drains have been identified and located, apply a 0.06%, 0.09%, or 0.125% Termidor SC finished dilution as follows:

    1. Unplug the sump pump. Inspect sump pump pit for water. If no water is present, the treatment can be made provided the sump pump remains unplugged, or

    2. if water is in the sump pump pit, unplug the sump pump and remove four cups of water from the sump pump pit. Mark the water level. Wait 10 minutes and check the water level in the sump pump pit again. If the water level has risen, there is too much seepage to perform the treatment at this time. If the water level does not rise, make the treatment provided the sump pump remains unplugged.

    During application, check the sump pump pit every few minutes for the presence of Termidor SC finished dilution. If detected, stop treatment immediately and remove the contents of the sump pump pit before plugging in the sump pump again. Either apply the removed sump pump pit contents to a labeled site or dispose of the removed contents as directed by this label in the Pesticide Disposal section.

    Note: For structures with French drains located adjacent to the outside of the foundation, refer to the Structures with Adjacent Wells/Cisterns and/or Other Water Bodies section of this label.

  • Asked by Carl from Franklin, Tennessee
    07/15/2015
    Q
    For Termidor SC, how log before or after a rain fall can I do my perimeter pour treatment?
    My trenches are dug, approximately 6" x 6". I am waiting for a dry spell, but I want to know what would be the timing that works best for treatment. Is either before or after a rainfall?
    A

    Your treatment should not be done within 24 to 48 hours of any rainfall for the best results. Your trench should be 6'' wide, 6'' deep and 10 linear feet along the structure with the Termidor. You can take a look at our site on How to Do a Termite Treatment to give you the proper application instructions for the best results.

    Q
    Can I spray Termidor SC on my entire yard around my mobile
    home to rid the yard of ant hills that are a constant problem.I assume you would spray only when rain is not in the forecast. Thanks for the help!
    A
    Termidor SC is not labeled to be used anywhere but around the perimeter of the structure. You can use baits around the ant hills. Please check out our Ant control page.

  • Asked by Larry from Beavercreek, Oh
    05/28/2013
    Q
    Is this safe to use if you live over your well?
    My well is 75 ft deep and is located @10-12 feet from the corner of my house. Will this eventually get down to the water level and contaminate the water? Should I stay so many feet away from the pipe? The directions say just 3 feet.
    A
    The Termidor label states that you should stay a minimum of 5 feet from any well or cistern you are treating near. Termidor is a soil bonding product so once you place the product in the soil/trench and it dries, it is going to stay where you put it for at least the next 10 years. It does not get washed away by rain once it has dried and bonded. On average the most the product will penetrate down through the soil when trenching, is 6 feet directly down from the area where it was poured.

    A
    Termidor SC can be applied a foot up and a foot out directly against the structure on all sides. It should NOT be applied as a broadcast on the driveway, outside or used indoors.

  • Asked by Kathy from Texas
    10/11/2015
    Q
    Can I do partial treatment with Termidor SC?
    My husband did the trench method. He said he was so tired that he replaced back the untreated soil and sprayed it with Termidor SC the next day and it rained a few hours after he did the spray. Is it still okay if he did it that way? And one more thing, he only sprayed on the front of our house with the landscaped area and did not do trenching. Is it also fine that way too?
    A

    Spraying Termidor SC on the surface of soil is not going to offer a protective barrier like the trench and will only work for the general pests that contact the soil surface. Termidor binds to the soil that it is applied to and needs to be used in a trench 6 x 6 inches to offer the best protection. It also does not move through the soil after rain. Termites do not actually contact the surface so it would be best to go back and complete the trench in those areas that have not been done.

    Q
    Can I use Termidor to treat bathtub drain trap if termites were present?
    A
    Yes, you can.  Termidor can be used indoors but only as a spot treatment where you have termites in a wall void or a plumbing access.  Typically on a bath trap you would pour 1 gallon of solution over the trap into the soil.

  • Asked by Annice from Serverville, Tn
    06/02/2018
    Q
    When it rains a lot, will it wash Termidor SC off my house?
    A

    Termidor SC is labeled for against structures 1 ft and 1 ft out. It is safe if it had at least 24 hrs after application to dry prior to rain. We do offer products that are great for other areas on the structure for carpenter bees. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Carpenter Bees and our Carpenter Bee Control Kit.

  • Asked by Andrew from Mesa Az

    Q
    Drilling at a 45 degree angle to gain access under the slab as well as trenching?
    I am told that I need to drill at a 45 degree angle so as to access the area behind the footer and under the slab. I am sure I can do this from inside the house with verticle holes but with carpet installed that is a no go unless I pull back the carpet which is doable. This 45 degree hole will also be done in areas where trenching is also done.
    A
    When using Termidor SC, drilling into the interior of a slab is NOT necessary if you are treating the outside perimeter of the home.  If you are trenching around the outside of the house and drilling through slabs attached to the house, then you do not have to drill interior slabs.  This is clearly stated on the product label.
