How to Do a Termite Treatment with Termidor SC Termiticide

What if i'm right on top of my well?  might it poison it?

what's the best method for injection into concrete porches (stoops)? could I use a pump sprayer shoved down the hole I drill or a small longest funnel I can find?

My house is built on a hill so it has a decent sloping grade to the land. How do you deal with a slope when using the trenching method? how do you evenly distribute the poison mixture?

I absolutely agree..... what about rodding the soil DIY. You are doing the consumer a major disservice as you aren't telling the whole story here. No self respecting pest professional applies with a bucket.....show me on the label where that's legal in any state!

That's Clark Kent.

I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from woodprix are the best.

What if I have brick floor on my patio ?

I’m sorry but if termidor is a non repellent ant to treat the trench then why would you need to treat the soil you put back on top. Termite live in soil so they should hit that treated soil an inch below them almost immediately. That did not make sense to me

Confused... is the video about ''preventing or destroying'' termites in home? Video shows you treating the ''soil'' around a home... but below you say, ''If you are doing a termite soil treatment, then you would have to drill through brick or concrete to get to the soil underneath.''
Do we need to drill through brick or concrete and treat soil underneath home?
My home was infested 6 years ago and they did it through brick & concrete to treat soil under home, plus they did a trench like the video.
If I do it myself, do I just do a trench or would I need to apply under home again? I thought the company had told me that when it was time to retreat, they would drill again, plus do the trench. BUT company just switched to Sentricon Bait System, so I am exploring options.

Good video i use this chemical alot and id recommend using dirt to "dam" the solution so it doesn't run off into lower points, i use a 9lt watering can with the sprayer head pulled off and a restriction (small hose) put in it so it doesn't gush out and i get even application, and do this with the backfill also and it goes further and it does a way better even job.

I find it easier to make up a gallon mixture and do the digging 2.5 feet at a time. A gallon container is easier to pour from and it's easier to get the mixture to distribute evenly when the ditch is shorter.

How do you apply it when you have pier and beam foundation with a dirt floor crawlspace?

It`s a nice tutorial! - to dig the soil or to drill holes when there is a concrete driveway. But what we have to do when a timber decking (hardwood) is meeteng an outside wall (brick veneer), please?
There is no appropriate gap to dig a tranche there. Do we nwwd to take all the decking out for the digging and treatment around or threre is a ssmarter way to do this, please? Thank you

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

I have termites in my restroom and bedroom walls. I dug a ditch on that side of wall but can I drill through bricks and spray into wooden cavity or would another product be better for wall cavities.

Perfects, right to the point.

So if you put down 4 gallons per 10 linear feet do you mix the 0.8 oz per gallon inside that 4 gallon pail or 3.2 oz per pail? Thanks so much!

I have 2 brick and mortar buildings built in 1926 that I have purchased from family in hopes of opening a small business. They have original hardwood floors that used to be mopped down with motor oil back in the 1900s. Termites have made their way in... I am wanting to use this process to eliminate them. However, there are 2 brick and mortar buildings owned by other people that are connected to my buildings as well as a brick sidewalk lining the front of the buildings. This would keep me from being able to dig the trench on the exterior of the buildings. We plan to gut the buildings and redo the floors. Can I do this process on the interior of the building when the flooring, sub flooring and floor joists are removed exposing the ground?

This is required every year? Dig the trench, etc.?

Hello i leave in Miami florida. Here rain a lot. Question: even rainning the treatment stay in place or do i have to apply more frequently?
Thank you.

I’m kind of confused. The website says “Termite Pre-Treatment: Use 1 gallon of finished solution per 10 sq. ft.” Do I use 4 gallons per 10 foot or 1 gallon?

I use it for those tiny ants. I use the sprayer. Spray along the outside of the entire house. I don't dig anything. Usually works for about 2 yrs for me. If I start to see forgers on the 3rd year. Then I will spray.

Termidor looks a little milky.. that bucket 🪣 looked like water only. That customer just got robbed. I’m sure it was used for training purpose only or for the video. But you should have used some while you were already there. It was probably your house and preventative treatment was already done 🤷🏻‍♂️. Just saying there are companies out there that want to save themselves money on termidor 💰 at the owners expense.

I hope 🤞🏼 if not that customer just got scammed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks you for the video

What is water to termidor ratio?

thanks for this...
btw, please tell the homeowner he needs to sue the contractor who installed his Hardiboard siding, that looks HORIBLE!!!

Question. I applied today around 6pm and it is forecasted to rain tomorrow at 10am... will my application be ineffective?

Installing using this method will leave your home unprotected as the back fill is not completely treated. If you are going to use this method push the back fill back into place when the trench is no more that 300mm deep then add the emulsion as shown. What you want to make is a sloppy mix against your wall so there is enough parts per million of control agent in the soil to provide a treated zone. The application rate is 100 Ltrs to a cubic meter of soil so mud is the result this turns out to be 6 ltrs per meter for trenches no deeper that 300mm and 1.5 ltrs for every 100mm of trench depth after that. I am a do your own person myself but I get all the correct information first. Remember that if you do it your self you have no call back but if done by a professional and you have a continuing problem you have a right of recourse.

Can I spray this in a bare wood attic space above the kitchen and underneath my stairs? Also, how would this kill drywood termites? I read they don't need soil to survive

If half of my house is surrounded in concrete, I need to drill every 12" from what I've read and seen, however the professionals use a tank, hose and an "injector" that they push through the drilled holes like 2 feet. Do you have any suggestions on a product to help with that for the average homeowner? I can drill the holes with my hammer drill.

Just digging trenches is not a complete termite treatment ( Drilling Slabs , soil injection , Increased volumes of Chemical depending on soil depth to foundation footing ) and for that work and effort you " Think " you saved money. Then you go to sell your home and the new buyer wants a Termite warranty with their home.. That is when YOU WILL PAY AGAIN for another treatment.... No one is going to Guarantee or Warranty your work. Termidor is great for Ants for DYI'er . Leave the termite treatments to the Pest Management Companies like mine of 35 years and others..we ALL warranty our work and its transferable to new buyers.

What do you do about sidewalks, driveways and patios?

I’ve begun to see termites inside of my house will this application method fix that?

how much termidor for4 gallion

Thank you Clark Kent!

This will work on the outside if you have a monolithic foundation only and what about areas where you have a separate slab poured against the foundation? Bait stations are a joke. It might be in your best interest to contact a professional. You are missing some things.

So if I have a peir and beam home do I just poor a gallon around each peir? Also how much should I mix to to a parameter around the house. My house is on 5ft peirs

What about occasional rain water, does it degrade the effectiveness of the chemical. Thank you for your reply.

So after you apply this i mean in all honesty how will i know that the termites are gone/ dead.?

I thought this product was also for dry wood products, is it not ?

How much fl oz of Termidor SC do we need to mix with 4 gallons of water?

I have gravel in a trench around the house. Can I pour the termidor on the gravel?

I f*kt this one up. I used a whole bottle in 5 gallons of water, 4 gallons for ten feet of trench and one gallon to spray the backfill. Five bottles for 50 ft. I'm safe against termites, ex-girlfriends and werewolves. I have one bottle left and will mix it for 50 linear feet, not 60. That means 0.8 oz per gallon for four-gallon trench and one gallon to saturate backfill. A costly mistake but I can recover.

I use the foam for our wood termite that fly into our home every year---you just drill a hole, use the foam--and then use wood dough to fix the hole and they are stopped.

Great video- except he poured the shortest "10 feet" I've ever seen, lol.

I’m confused. I thought this was a perimeter spray. It would cost so much to treat your house that it would be like hiring pest control person.😊

What do you guys do for the driveway?
