    That’s why the underside and outdoor wood, like my fence, are green wood. My buddy was actually a cannabis grower and he found out that you could use the same process from extracting the oil from the cannabis to extract catnip and use the oil to treat wood making it resistant to things like termites. It worked as a stain for the wood. He made a ton of money selling it to DuPont at the time.

    Just started seeing a few winged termites in my house and had an inspector and he found old mud tubes in my crawl space. I went down there and I knocked them down but I didn’t see termites and no moisture just a lot of droppings so I ordered some taurus sc to treat them. I was quoted 2000 to trench around my crawl space and to drill around the slab foundation. Half my house is slab and the other half is raised with a crawl space, my question is will only treating the crawl space myself be enough since i dont see any live termites or is there a product i can use on the walls around the slab foundation?

    Buy the biggest insect zapper killer you can find in your country, buy 3 or more for added killings. If you can buy waterproof ones and use waterproof extension cord plug. Keep it outside your house for few hours everyday or during termite swarmers season. Be on the standby the moment it becomes dark outside, be patient they will come after few minutes, you will see their presence if there is or are colonies nearby. For added effect you can spray the area before you will place the zappers with Taurus SC termiticide. It works guys as long as the zapper has very strong voltages, those swarmers at that time will be dead like all of them, bcoz of the light they will be tempted to go to the burning zone of the zapper. What a revenge.

  • @2manycatsforadime

    the directions on the Taurus bottle recommends 4 gallons for 10 linear feet in a 6" deep trench around the outside of the foundation. Why do you use 2 gallons on the surface for 10 feet?

    • @DanTheBugMan
      @DanTheBugMan  11 місяців тому +2

  • @johnjohnson-pf4kw

    Dan, thank you for all the VERY information videos!! (I will be making some monitoring stations based on your instructions.)
    How far apart are termite colonies?
    My neighbor paid dearly a professional for a Taurus SC termite treatment around his house and garage. The pest control company did not trench, but injected about 100 gallons of solution several places around the perimeter.
    Their house is about 200' from our detached garage and house.
    I have seen a couple of surface tubes by the adjoining wall, which appear old and broken down, but do not see any indication of tubes or evidence reaching into our buildings.
    Would the treatment he had be enough to eradicate the colony that I see tubes for on my property?

    • @DanTheBugMan
      @DanTheBugMan  11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching! 200 feet is probably too far for one colony to forage but you will get some coverage from your neighbor's treatment. I would still recommend doing some preventative measures if you are seeing tunnels around your home. :)

    • @DanTheBugMan
      @DanTheBugMan  Рік тому +1

      Yes they can! and between the bricks and block. No we usually dont drill because the Taurus chemical transfers to the whole colony as long as some of them come in contact with it

    • @rdzed3505
      @rdzed3505 Рік тому +3

      You want the termites to deliver the Taurus to the rest of the colony as soon as possible. Destroying the tunnel would slow the delivery process.

      Those bait stations in Home Depot also attract ants. So you'll get a lot of false positives. What you need to do is put baits that attract termits, which is very soft wood. Then, when your wood gets eaten, you know there's termites. Then is when you use a product called treloma
