    Q
    How to apply Termidor SC into void between foundation, and soil?
    Is it possible to use a shovel to force the soil away from the foundation by wedging a shovel in between to create a gap, and then pouring the mixed Termidor SC solution into the gap instead of creating a trench? Once soaked in, pressing the soil back against the foundation?
    A

    Per manufacturer, the most effective termite treatment would be digging the 6in x 6in trench around the foundation and applying Termidor SC per label. If the gap is close to the suggested trench requirements, we do not see where this would not be as effective.

    Q
    How far apart do I drill holes in concrete slab to apply Termidor SC?
    A

    The holes should be 2" from the foundation wall and 10-12" apart. You will apply the finished solution at 4 gallons every 10 lineal feet. You will mix 0.8 fl oz of Termidor SC per gallon in a 5 gallon bucket (4 gallons of water and 3.2 fl oz of Termidor SC).

  • Asked by Adam from Olivet, Mi
    01/24/2017
    Q
    I have 4 bottles of Termidor SC that froze during the winter in my garage, Can I still use them?
    A

    Insecticides should not be exposed to extreme temperatures such as freezing or over heating or left for prolonged periods of time in direct sunlight. In the case of Termidor SC, after it has thawed at room temperature if it goes back into a solution (the way it looked at the time of purchase) it should be fine to use. However, if it appears discolored or if the consistency of the product has changed it should be discarded and replaced.

  • Asked by Thomas from Memphis
    03/23/2017
    Q
    Can I use Termidor SC to treat my brick house wood subfloors and crawl space?
    I believe the termites are traveling in my tree roots because under my house looks like a lot of termite mounds with a lot of damage. Should I spray inside or outside of the house.
    A

    While you can use Termidor SC to treat voids in your subfloor, we would recommend to use Boracare instead because it can be applied to raw wood, be absorbed and last the lifetime of the wood. You can use Termidor SC in your crawl space if there's soil, you can trench around the piers to protect your home.

  • Asked by Madoka
    04/23/2017
    Q
    Is it possible to prevent ants from going inside the house by just using Termidor SC outside?
    Ants are climbing up the wall from the balcony of the lower floor (not part of our house) and they are coming in our balcony as well as inside our house through the windows. I understand that the Termidor SC kills the colony but I wanted to know if the Termidor SC will prevent the ants from coming inside the house if I spray this outside. Should I be adding other sprays such as, Talster P or Cy Kick inside the house? Will this reduce the ants coming inside the house? Also, I used Ortho Home Defense two weeks ago but will this reduce the effect of the Termidor SC? Thank you.
    A

    Termidor SC is what we call a non-repellent, which means the insects - in this case, ants - do not detect the application, plus the active ingredient kills slowly enough that the ants do not die until they've had time to pass along the active ingredient to all the other ants they contact during their regular activities. If you apply Termidor SC as directed, then any ant colonies that contact that barrier will be killed. If you are already seeing trails of ants inside your home, then we would recommend using products like those in our Indoor Ant Kit to insure those colonies are taken care of, as well. Our Ant Treatment Guide has additional tips for treating this nuisance pest.

    Q
    Will Termidor bind to sand too?
    I live in FL and I found the soil around my house is mostly sand.
    A

    Termidor SC can be used in sandy soil.  You would still do the trench and treat the sand 6" x 6" around the foundation as termites will still go through that area to get to your home if looking for food, if this is your target pest.

  • Asked by John from Addison, Tx
    04/26/2018
    Q
    Can Termidor for Termites be applied outside when raining?
    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. 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
    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
    Is Termidor safe to use around kids?
    A

    We would NOT recommend using Termidor SC when children are around. Once the product is dry, it is safe for your children to return to the area. Termidor SC normally dries within a matter of hours depending on the temperatures outdoors.

  • Asked by Ross from Anaheim, Ca
    08/30/2018
    Q
    Is Termidor the best in hose end sprayer insecticide for the lawn and flower beds?
    Specifically for ants.
    A

    Termidor SC  should not be applied through a hose end applicator for application to the lawn and flower beds for ant control. It should only be sprayed a couple of times a year directly up against the foundation of the strucutres on the property (1 ft and 1 ft out). We would recommend using Advion WDG Insecticide. It can be used around the perimeter of the home and you could expand the band around the perimeter, for example: you can spray 3 feet up on the foundation and 7 feet out. The active can also be transferred from one ant to another and can be used for direct mound treatments if necessary, as well as surfaces commonly used by ants for foraging such as outdoor edges/frames of windows, doors, utility penetrations, roof lines or eaves, and other structural edges may also be treated. In addition to exterior structural elements, outdoor nesting sites such as refuse collection areas, flower/mulch beds, adjacent tree holes, surrounding turf areas, crawl spaces, or other nest/ foraging sites, and foraging trails can be treated.

    Q
    Should I wear some type of mask when using Termidor SC ?
    Is it safe to breathe any fumes that come from mixing it?
    A

    Termidor SC is a very safe product and widely used by professional companies inside homes every day across the country.  Termidor SC is odorless and does not have any fumes. You only need to wear a face mask if you will be doing the application in a poorly ventilated or enclosed area. All other applications will require you to wear long sleeves, long pants, shoes and socks and gloves. Be sure to wash your hands after the application before you eat, drink, chew gum or use the restroom.

  • Asked by Wayne
    03/25/2010
    Q
    If I apply Termidor SC around the foundation, is there anything to spray between the sheetrock and the exterior walls? Should I have to?
    A
    If you do not currently have termite activity, then you only have to treat the outside perimeter of your home.  If your home is on a crawl space foundation, there may be a few places that you need to treat under the home.  You do not have to treat in the walls unless there is a specific place that you have termite activity already that you know about.  If so, then you can apply Termidor SC directly to the area as a spot treatment inside in addtion to all of the perimeter treatment outside.  If you have not read our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article already, it will completely explain how to do the outside treatment.
