It`s a nice video! Could you tell me whether I can spray Termidor via weep holes in brick veneer, please? To apply it in between bricks and drywall voids, please? Some people advices to do that, but some is against taking Termidor is for outside use only. Thank you
Someone is suppose to be doing termite treatment for my home and he is using "Taurus SC" around the perimeter of my home, not drilling the garage. This is what is proposed and is this good enough for a 3300 sq ft home? Termite Treatment - Exterior & Crawl space Termite Treatment using Taurus SC - Trench and Treatment interior and exterior of crawlspace - Garage, front porch, and the walkway along the back of the house will be waived - Retreat warranty for $150 per year for the next five years The other termite service using Termidor HE will do this: "Full termite treatment consisting of trenching the exterior and the crawlspace & drilling all foundation slabs and blocks for termiticide application. Includes damage and retreatment warranty for first year. Renewable upon completion of annual inspection." Which termite service do you recommend in the two examples above? Thanks!!
thank you sir .. god bless you for this very wortthy video .. can i mix termidor with instruction materials like cement and sand while building the house please ?? or its toxic for human on long term exposure please??
Lay it in the soil around your foundation as directed after you pour the concrete. Treat the bathtub drain boxes, the soil around any toilet flanges, and all other drain penetration areas. Leave an access hole to the plumbing for each bath tub so you can retreat for termites and if it's large enough, to do any future plumbing repairs. A hole with a cover will suffice for sticking a spray wand into and hitting the bath tub drain box again in the future. The termites love moisture , so bathrooms, laundry rooms, & mud rooms are favorite areas for termites to start on. There are some metallic strips you can lay at the base of exterior walls and walls around plumbing drains that deter termites.
+Scott H Hi Scott, That is not on the label so we cannot say that. I will say that we know people who have done it and have had excellent results. The only thing Termidor HE has is a soil penetrant so with 1/2 the water the product will still saturate the soil and go down further, for that reason the trench can be smaller size which cuts back on labor costs for our professional customers. It is much more expensive than taurus for the convenience. Best, Solutions
1.6oz per gallon 79oz at that rate makes 50 gallons. I don't see the difference between Taurus HE and SC - they are simply doubling the concentration and pouring 1/2 the amount into a trench half the size. With SC they say add .8oz per gallon and use 4gal in a 10ft trench. HE says to use 1.6oz per gallon and use 2gl per 10ft of trench. Sounds like a marketing gimmick to me.
Hey Keith, thanks for the video! Just wondering, on the Termidor HE website it mentions "trenching and rodding"... I assume this means drilling holes around the foundation and applying the solution down into the hole as well. Is this a necessary step? If so, how many holes/how often should that be done? Thanks!!
I called the doyourownpestcontrol website and they said some do rodding to soil. Which she explained was doing the same fill of the trench as in the video, but every foot using a rod or small poll(she mentioned maybe a piece of rebar)........and sticking it deep into the trench. That way every foot or so the tremidor goes deeper than what is in just the trench. Can be done for extra protection I guess.
You cannot do any rodding unless you have a high pressure sprayer, so for the DIY person you can drill into the concrete and use funnels to get the chemical into the soil. Trenching is the preferred method on the outside. Please call the experts if you would like to speak with a Master Entomologist who can answer your personal question correctly.
@@mick2spic with He it;s 18" not 12" everything else is 12" or less and you need a spray rig to rod and to know exactly how much chemical you are evenly spraying every 10 foot on trenches or you can have a spots with 4 gallons for 1 foot and 1 gallon for 4 foot for example and you won't get good coverage or warranty this is why you have pro's do it because we have the training, and equipment and the person did not tell everyone in this video only Termidor can only be sold to professionals legally.
@@solutionspestandlawn wrong with HE it's 12 yrs when done by a professional any other brand it's 7-10 yrs and it also depends on if there is wood in direct contact with the ground or less than 8" from the ground if the wood is treated wood or non treated wood. If any areas can not be drilled or trenched because of gas lies, electrical wires , plumbing, wells. septic tanks etc. All this comes in to play because of Federal and State Regulations
As a Technician you are not doing this right, it needs to be sprayed and you need to know how much chemical you are putting out to correctly put out gallons of finished ( mixed ) chemical per 10 feet. You are not going to get good coverage by using a bucket. All these DIY videos are just setting people up for bad treatments and poor results. Also any slabs where you can't trench the ground have to be drilled. If you have a crawl space you have to trench the exterior wall of the crawl space and trench or drill the piers in the crawl space. This is with Termidor He only any other traditional chemical the piers have to be drilled and trenched and the crawl space wall has to be trenched in the crawl space and either trenched or rodded on the outside of the crawl space wall and any concrete driveways or carport slaps or sidewalks or garages that come up the the house have to be drilled. If the treatment is not done properly there is no warranty from the makers of the company. Keep all this in mind before you do a DIY termite treatment.

Thank you for asking. Yes, you can apply this to weep holes in brick veneer.
So after you pour the solution into the trench how long do you wait before you fill your dirt back in and treat it also?

Termite Treatment - Exterior & Crawl space
Termite Treatment using Taurus SC
- Trench and Treatment interior and exterior of crawlspace
- Garage, front porch, and the walkway along the back of the house will be waived
- Retreat warranty for $150 per year for the next five years
The other termite service using Termidor HE will do this:
"Full termite treatment consisting of trenching the exterior and the crawlspace & drilling all foundation slabs and blocks for termiticide application. Includes damage and retreatment warranty for first year. Renewable upon completion of annual inspection."
Which termite service do you recommend in the two examples above? Thanks!!
Why couldn't you apply the product with a flow zone backpack sprayer
That would only treat the surface where there are no termites. You need to saturate teh soil where the termites travel.
thank you sir .. god bless you for this very wortthy video .. can i mix termidor with instruction materials like cement and sand while building the house please ?? or its toxic for human on long term exposure please??
We can not recommend you mixing Termidor with cement and sand.

Leave an access hole to the plumbing for each bath tub so you can retreat for termites and if it's large enough, to do any future plumbing repairs.

There are some metallic strips you can lay at the base of exterior walls and walls around plumbing drains that deter termites.
On the Taurus , couldn't you also increase the concentration to 1.25 finished product and make the same 50 gallons and use 2 gal per 10LF ?

How many ounces of the Termidor HE copack do you add per 2 gallons of water ? Any help would greatly be appreciated !!!
THANK YOU and GOD Bless
1.6oz per gallon

Is Taurus SC the same product as Termidor SC?
Essentially yes, but they are labeled for different uses. They have the same active ingredient.
I have used both for roach control and termidor is way better. I dont know what works better for termites but I'll go with termidor just in case.
how many year do we have to treat again
You will need to repeat a trenching 7 to 10 years later.
Thanks
