We are not sure if are asking if you can use Termidor SC on edible vegetables or if you accidentally treated near a garden, but Termidor SC should not under any circumstances be applied near or on anything edible. You should keep Termidor treatments at least 10 feet away from any garden. If you treated on or near your garden, you should discard anything that may be contaminated with Termidor SC. If you are looking for something to treat your garden with, we do have many products that are for use on gardens.
We would highly suggest trenching and treating instead of only treating inside the cinder block wall. Termidor is meant to bond to soil and be applied into the ground. It will not last very long just treating into the cinder block walls. Cinder blocks are also very porous, so they will soak up a lot of the termidor and you might get a few months of protection instead of 10 years when applying it into the ground.
You should follow the instructions as outlined in our How To Do A Termite Treatment article to treat the exterior and underside of your crawl space.
We would recommend doing a trench treatment around your home for an active infestation of termites. We have a helpful article on How to Get Rid of Termites that we recommend reviewing for the best advice.
Please be sure to read the product label of any insecticide you choose to use to get information on the needed personal protective safety gear you will need. In most situations it is recommended that you wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, closed toe shoes with socks, chemical resistant gloves and goggles. In areas where ventilation is poor a manufacturer may recommend you wear a mask or a respirator. We have put together 2 different safety kits that will make selecting correct safety gear easier for you.
If the equipment has been tripled rinsed and the nozzle and wand have been rinsed out, you can use them in the same sprayer just not at the same time. Termidor SC is a non-repellent insecticide. This means the insects cannot tell that it is there and they will readily walk over treated areas. Termidor SC also has a delayed reaction time and a transfer effect which allows them time to get back to the colony and spread it around before they succumb to the effects of the product. Talstar P on the other hand is synthetic pyrethroid which many sensitive insects such as ants can detect. Insects may avoid the areas treated with Talstar and those that do cross over treated areas are the only ones that will be killed by the product. Talstar P does not have a transfer effect so it will not be transferred back to the colony. While the Termidor SC will not actually be deactivated by Talstar P, it will be much less effective if it is over-sprayed with Talstar P. You can spray Talstar P on your trees, bushes and lawn for mosquito control as long as you are not actually overlapping the areas where Termidor SC was applied.
Termidor SC contains fipronil, which is not well absorbed by plants when it is applied to the soil. If fipronil does get into plants, it can partially break down, reducing any risk of translocating. According to the maufacturer, it is best to not apply Termidor within one foot of the drip line of edibles but does not mention ornamentals.
Termidor SC should only be applied outside within 1 foot of a house or other structure. You also should not apply Termidor SC near edible plants. We would recommend to keep Termidor applications at least 10 feet from the garden.
While Termidor SC will kill fleas that contact it, we do not recommend for flea control. Termidor cannot be applied to all the areas needed to treat for fleas. We recommend to treat the kennel with the indoor/outdoor flea kit.
