    Q
    Can I add a separate foaming agent to turn this into a foam spray?
    Yes, I know about Termidor FOAM, but that is so much more expensive than the TSC. Can I add a separate foaming product to the TSC to make it foam? I want to spray a foam into my walls.
    A

    Yes, you can add a foaming agent to Termidor SC and create a foam. You will also need a foam applicator such as Chapin Poly Foamer.

    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. Dema…

    Q
    Can I treat the dirt in the crawl space under my house with Termidor SC?
    A

    Yes, you can use Termidor to treat in the crawl space. Inside the crawl space you would need to trench around any piers that hold up the home but the outside trench would be all that is required for the actual foundation if you are using Termidor. The Termidor will last for 10 years to protect your …

    Q
    Can I use this product in the yard on or near trees?
    We have over 3.5 acres of beautiful 100-plus-year-old trees the neighbor's trees are infested and falling towards our property. We see there may be some terminates in our trees. We need to stop the spread!
    A

    Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees. If the tree has been damaged by termites it would be advisable to remove the tree and perform a liquid termite soil treatment. Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Termidor SC would be the produ…

    Q
    Says it can't be used on pets….obviously.
    Obviously, you don't want to use Termidor on pets. But can you use this around the exterior of your home if you have an outside dog? I just removed the old rock mulch from around our home. I want to replace it with treated mulch but also want to take an extra step on termite prevention so I'd like to find a product to do that. I just worried about my pup possibly digging where the product has been applied
    A

    Termidor SC can be sprayed around the perimeter of the home one foot up & one foot out. Once the product has dried it will be safe for pets again. Since the product bonds with the soil, it would not affect your dog even if they're digging there. Keep in mind that spraying termidor does not preve…

    Is Termidor safe to use on live lemon tree?
    I have termites eating my lemon tree where it's dead wood is.
    A

    No, Termidor can not be used around any type of tree. Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees so you most likely will not find any products that will work as a ground barrier around the trees.  Most people are primarily concerned with protecting the big investment, their home, and Termi…

    If you pour the poison and it's not soaking in can you cover it with dirt?

    Q
    Can I use Bifen or Talstar after trenching with Termidor SC?
    Just purchased new home. Would like to do a preventative trench treatment with Termidor for termites and then spray the perimeter in and out with Bifen/Talstar. Is this ok? Or do I need to wait a period of time after the Termidor trench treatment before using Bifen/Talstar? Or avoid the trench, do bait stations plus Bifen/Talstar?
    A

    Once the Termidor SC is dry you can spray with Bifen or Talstar.

    Q
    Can I spray Termidor sc directly on sub flooring and joists from under the crawl space to prevent termites?
    A

    Termidor SC cannot be applied onto structural wood for termite prevention. You could use it for soil treatment around the foundation and around piers in a crawl space, but not just to spray on the wood. If you are wanting to protect raw wood from termites, then you would use a wood preservative such…

    Q
    Can I use bleach on wood covered with mold and termites and then use Termidor?
    I have mold and termite damage in my crawl space. I was going to use bleach for the mold and Termidor for the termites. Do I need to use bleach before or after Termidor?
    A

    You can definitely use a mixture of water and bleach to treat the mold. However, you would need to use Bora care mixed with mold care, not Termidor SC. Termidor would be for the soil to control existing sub-termites and prevent new ones. BoraCare/Mold Care will be for the wood to treat the mold an…

    Q
    Can it be used on oak trees?
    Can this be used on live oak trees? I know this question has been asked before. I would disagree that they don't attack live trees. Sure they start on dead limps but they keep on going after the live trees after. The trees are definitely alive though.
    A

    Termidor SC should only be applied as directed on the label. It does have instructions as a direct spot treat the active nest in the tree by drilling into it and injecting with foam or dilution. Termites do not normally attack live, healthy trees so identifying any issues within the tree that attra…

    I sprayed around my foundation and patio. Some overspray may have gotten into my 20000-gallon pool. What should I do to fix this? I know it's not meant for around water it was a mistake.
    A

    Thank you for your email, for a small amount of overspray of the Termidor SC reaching the pool, the amount of chemicals present would be negligible, much like dropping a couple of drops of food coloring into an ocean would be such little particles that it would be diluted and probably killed by t…

    Q
    Use of Termidor near an inground pool?
    I am replacing my in-ground pool liner and I noticed over the past few years that I have had small holes that I've been patching. The pool company said it could be ants or termites. I have seen termites when digging for plants around the pool. Can this product be sprayed on the vermiculite walls prior to replacing the liner? Or should it be trenched near the concrete pad that surrounds the pool?
    A

    You would want to use the Termidor SC like you would for a pre-slab treatment by spraying the surface of the soil before the liner is replaced in the pool. The rate if 1 gallon of mixed solution (0.8 oz per gallon) per 10 sq/ft of surface area. You can also trench around the perimeter of the pool to…

    Q
    How should I apply Termidor if I have a rock landscape around the perimeter of the house?
    Can I just pour the mix between rocks and slab to be absorbed by the soil?
    A

    Termidor SC is made to bind to soil molecules which allows it to last for 10 years whereas Termidor applied to porous surfaces such as rock and/or gravel will only last and remain effective for a few months.
