Please Note !! At the end of the process you should also treat the back fill by spray it with Termidor or Taurus after you put the back fill in the ditch. I treated the back fill, but forgot to put it in video.
Joseph K you wear a mask but you let your helper inhale toxic chemicals?
This wouldn't pass Australian standards still. But I am sure it is just in the differences in standards between nations tho.
@@kamrongrant What are the Australian standards?
From SE ASIA The Queen here is HUGE! Very well produced video the world should watch well presented.
"Hello Ricky Bobby" LOL JK great video. About to do this whole process myself. Thanks for the excellent step by step information!
How did you treat the area where your concrete driveway comes up to your house/garage?
It is important to also drill the slab that the air-con unit is sitting on and flood with chemical or the termites will come up between both slabs. Also any air-con condensation pipes should be going to a drain if possible as any moisture close to the slab will create a conducive effect for termites-they need water!
From Philippines : We have lots of Termites here nice video I will use your video as a guide
Thank You
I have a lot of pvc pipes, instead of digging a trench can I stick a drilled hole 12 inches long pvc pipes in the ground around the house 12 inches apart? Same concept as drilling the concrete slab.
Thank you for this video. Very well explained.
Like to ask you if you need additional treatment for the interior of the house?
And, if this application is suitable for the east coast?
Thank you so much.
If you house was not infected you should not however you should treat your driveway concrete and your garage slab . Please look at my following video
Please look at my following you-tube videos :
How To apply Termidor or Tauros To A Concrete slab - Part 1 , part 2 and part 3
Here is the link to video part 2:
How To apply Termidor or Tauros To A Concrete slab - Part 2 - Injecting Into The Concrete Stairs
czcams.com/video/umf_0aIjyWY/video.html
I don't know why all the mystery in measurements? It is a very basic formula: 4 ounces of chemical to 5 gallons of water.
The reason they tell you to use "4 gallons" is because a full 5 gallon bucket will spill easily.
The "solution" ;) is to use two (2) 5 gallon buckets. Fill one with water and pour half into another empty bucket (giving you two, half full buckets). Now measure 2 ounces of chemical in each and then mix back and fourth (called "boxing") for a couple of times.
Now, pour 6 feet from each half filled, 5 gallon bucket or 12.5 feet for 5 gallons.
Easy peasy!
Or just mix 4 gallons and not have to do the bucket to bucket mix...use a drill with a mixer paddle. That's easy peasy too.
Thanks you so much
Any time.
I didn't see you treat the back fill but if the treatment worked that is all that matters. I used to work for Terminix....and the way you explained it is correct. The only thing I would add is you put that dirt back in place, you should treat that too. Although I don't know if you got to that later and didn't show it.
I treated the back fill, but did not show it. Thanks for you comment.
THANKS ,, ONELOVE.
Any time
Hi SiR, can you please help me to understand what type of termites controller should I used in the wood that is already installed in the house. Thank you very much
There is a foam that Termidor manufacture you can buy it online or in home improvement shop. You need to inject this foam via a hole in the drywall.
I would pour the liquid into the trench, and then wait and let the liquid completely soak down into the ground before back filling.
The further down into the ground the liquid goes, the more effective it can be killing termites.
Good advice.
So even if your house is made out of stucco you still have to do the trenching and pour the liquid? I only see termites around my garage door frame. No where else around the house. Do I treat the very small area by my water house leading to the garage ? It has soil and mulch. I’ve seen some people say they sprayed affected area only and if worked on ants too.
Great video. Thanks for the information. I was wondering we're remodeling my small house now and have it down to the studs. Can I treat the interior studs with this stuff before putting up the wall?
You should use Borax on a not treated stud. Please look at this video .
czcams.com/video/yZFXPLG_Uy0/video.html
and by the way Borax is not poison for human and it will protect your stud for ever.
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
You need to use foam Termidor
I used Taurus SC from a 78 ounce bottle. I discovered the active ingredient is water-soluble, so I relied on time and rain to drive it into the soil. I mixed it in five gallons bucket, and poured it liberally just as shown in this excellent video, but used little flags every ten feet along my entire house perimeter to know how far I should go with each bucket dump.. Did I trench, no. I was told by a reliable source that trenching is done by pest control companies because (a) they must do a complete and effective treatment in a single visit, and (b) they need to show their value in charging $2400 for the treatment. So, instead, I decided to use my access to my home whenever I want, and known water-solubility of the product, to not trench at all and apply it three times (spring summer fall). I poured it onto the ground against the house and foundation in ten foot segments. Voila...no termites! And I has carpenter ants visible around by wooden outbuilding shed, theyre gone, too. Frankly, after one application all seemed dead, but I did the summer and autumn applications anyhow. Three years later nothing still...but just to be sure, I applied it again this past summer twice, with a rainstorm in between (aboit a week between applications). I’m in Illinois, so the soil is moderate (not clay, not sand, more like topsoil). If my soil was clay, maybe I’d have to spend hours trenching, but the leaching into my soil seems enough. I’m merely sharing my personal experience so you can decide how to do it yourself. All the paid mastermind pest exterminators can get on here and tell us all the reasons trenching is mandatory,, but it wasn’t for effective treatment in my 20 year old home. Some might say that ground application washes away and wastes the chemical, to which I reply that I can waste a ton of it before I ever get to $2400 the exterminator was going to charge. Affect other insects further away when it washes away? Doubtful...trust me, I did it far enough away from a rain that it was in the ground and dry before any rain. If I’m told it doesn’t get deep enough to be effective, I’d say that my multiple treatments did get as deep as a single trenched treatment, but I can’t prove that other than I no longer have termite issues. $200 in Taurus SC and I’m good (two different years spaced 3 years apart). Take it for what it’s worth, if you disagree with how I did it then do it your own way. It’s all good. Peace ☮️ This is a good video, btw, re mixing and pouring of the chemical. Thanks for it, Joseph. Good stuff.
You could hire a landscape or a student to dig the trench around the house for less than $200 instead of apply the solution 3 times.
@@josephk9182 Hi, Joseph. Thanks for your reply. I could, but it worked without that. Repeated applications were just for my own reassurance (and because I had extra T-SC that I didn't want to store...lol). Curious, will you be re-applying T-SC to your home, or just wait until see pests again? I think you have the soil loosened a bit now, should be dump-n-go but I know its been a while since you trenched it. Btw, your vid is one of the first t come up when one searches for this on CZcams, so that's wonderful.
@@Burps___ You should reply the T-SC every 7 years. If you do it more frequently it is better.
@@josephk9182 Thank you, Joseph K. #appreciation
Read the product label and do as it says.
question how many termidor bottles need for 1700 SQF home ? thanks ! I bought house and the termite destroy under the crawl space the joists and sill plate :(
The perimeter of your house and not the area will determine the amount of Termidor you should use. it is around 0.4 Oz to 1 foot. So for 100 feet is around 40 Oz (30 meter 1.2 litter) of Termidor.
Thanks for the video, but I have a question. Me and a friend did all this hard work and did exactly what you did. IN about five days after doing this it started raining very heavy four about 5 hrs. Will all this rain water mess up the taurus sc in killing the termites?
No. The rain would not mess up the Taurus unless the rain drifted the soil over 6" around the house where you put the Taurus.
If the steps are contacting the ground you have to break the contact. And what about plumbing penetrating slab inside including if refrigerator has an ice maker with water connection on wall in back of it they are being found more often coming up there. If they came up a load bearing wall due to a crack in slab how do you treat that or if slab is cracked under wood flooring and they're active?
You need to drill in the slab and inject Termidor. Also you should sealed the space with silicon.
From Philippines Compadre got it! In regard to concrete did you use funnel to pour Termidor or a injector? Please advise Thank you again. My villa is large 500 sq meters needs lots of holes. Thanks for your expert advice n your excellent video
If you have an injector use it otherwise, use a funnel but make sure that the
funnel is inserted deep inside the hole. You need to be patient to let all the substance going into the funnel to the ground. Basically, the hole should be 6 inches deep under the concrete in the soil.
Joseph K OK I will pass on what you said to my Japanese handyman!
So even if your house is made out of stucco you still have to do the trenching and pour the liquid? I only see termites around my garage door frame. No where else around the house. Do I treat the very small area by my water house leading to the garage ? It has soil and mulch. I’ve seen some people say they sprayed affected area only and if worked on ants too.
Yes you have to make termite treatment around the house.
Thanks for showing us how is done . I bought a house and i discovered some mud tubs on a cople of walls on the living room and the bathroom I dont know if they are active still want to treat those areas would this work would this kill them all ?
Not a guarantee, would recommend calling your local professional, depending on the extent the termites have travelled throughout your house the pest controller may have to apply termidor foam/dust to eradicate the existing termites that are already in the house. Only treating the exterior of your house may trap the termites in your house. Call a professional
You should use Termidor as you saw in the video. If you have termite they will all died with in a day or two because termite must go back to the ground. If you not sure call professional.
Thanks so much for this video! How long do you have to leave the metal wall makers up before removing them?
If you asking about the plywood (not metal) that makes the wall for the Termidor to stay in 10 feet boundary, after you pour the Termidor liquid into the ditch you can continue immediately punting the dirt (soil) back to the ditch.
Can I spray directly to the infested wood that mixed water with chemical?
Like my garage you can see infested wood, I want spray something to them to kill termites.
Thanks in advance!
You can but it is better to use foam Termidor than liquid Termidor when apply it on wood. Liquid termidor designed to use in soil (ground).
I’ll be burying pvc pipes with holes around the perimeter of my house and have an access point where I can hook up a line and inject termiticide without trenching
I wish you would post a video of your process. How do you know the poison flows all the way down the pvc, it would have to be perfectly level or entirely sloped down wouldn’t it so that the liquid is distributed the entire length?
lol huge fail
Question => The fundation of the house is thicker than 6 inches. So what is te termites circulate deeper than the depth of the trench ?
This issue is difficult to resolve. If you have a crack in your concrete exactly where a wall is standing it will be difficult to protect. Thai is why you also treat your garage floor by drilling holes in the concrete in hope it will protect and kill termites that living under your concrete.
I read that termites travel in about the top 6" of the soil.
Could i have the website from Termidor, I type Termidor and a lot of sellers pops out. Thank you!
Termidor is not a company it is a product manufacture by BASF (German company) www.pestcontrol.basf.us/products/termidor-termite.html
one forth of my house has concreate. how do i treat that. i dont wnat to drill holes. around the concreate is a lemon tree. i have a hose sprayer with termite treatment.
You can make a ditch 6 x 6 (widthxdeep) inches around the concrete and proceed as you see in this video, otherwise look at my other videos:
How To Apply Termidor or Tauros To A Concrete Slab To Kill Termites - Part 1 - Drilling Holes
czcams.com/video/A5Osiqq2MFU/video.html
Please look at all 3 videos and see how easy is to do it will cost you less than $50 .
neworleans39 you have to drill the concrete and the holes must be 12 inches apart for termidor and you cannot put the chemical near edible trees it has to be 1 foot out from the drip line
Men so hot day in Florida , I did the trenches and applied Taurus s/c
Follow your videos
At 9 pm rain hard red color in radar for 40 minutes!
I check the weather and 0 % today and tomorrow, well is like that here
Should I treatment all again
No flooding on the treatment just wet , damped
Please help
Always check the weather forecast before doing any type of chemical treatment outdoors.
You missed filming the part I was waiting for...Treating the concrete pad/driveway :-(
Same. Did you find another vid o. That i have the same issue
read other comments, he has a part 2 linked that is for the concrete
Hey, u for to show that how u treat injection in concert lol
Taurus
is fipronil, also
so if i use this it will keep my house protected for 8-10 years? and it will kill termites that may already be in my home?
If the termites penetrate the house from an area you treat (with Termidor ) it will however, if termites penetrate from under concrete stairs or under concrete slab where is difficult to treat the answer is not for sure unless you treat his area. Please look at my video :
czcams.com/video/yZFXPLG_Uy0/video.html
Thanks!
Does enyone know what the sence to dig a trenche to apply Termidor and... drill the foundation around the house and spray the same substance un that holes? It looks like the same... But some videos advised us to do like that- both - thenche pouring and drilling/squirting... One more question- can we use Termidor indoor? Fotr example to treat studs, logs, and all the attic structural timber? Thank you
I wish to know that too.
I see videos where they drill holes and inject the product into cinder blocks that hold up the homes as well as trench around those same cinder blocks because termites can get into the house from the inside and outside of the blocks. It depends on what type of foundation you have.
How often do u need to do this..
You need to ask the manufacture but I am doing it every 7 years.
what is the point of creating a moat around your house queen termites have wings they fly
These are subterranean termites. they live under the ground. When they penetrate your house they will eat your wood and go back to ground. Basically they are live under ground and will penetrate your house via dirt tunnels the will build from the ground to your house.
@@josephk9182 They will take the poison back to the crew as they travel through the moat and eventually kill them all.
Is Termidor toxic for people, pets and tree or plants?
Yes it is toxic to people , pets and plants. It is put around your house and is injected into concrete.
If you’re concerned, don’t use it. It’s Toxic
puede apilcarse directo en la madera? gracias
No, solo es para poner en el suelo. En madera debes usar Borax
en la casa que lo quiero aplicar es mitad ladrillo y mitad madera, si lo aplico sobre el piso de la casa puede repeler las termitas? Pero en la casa aun no hay termitas solo es medida preventiva. La primera intencion de mi fumigacion es contra las cucarachas, pulgas, garrapatas, arañas entre otros insectos. Y me dijeron que este producto acaba con todos estos insectos, pero no tengo suficiente como para aplicarlo en la sanja, por eso le pregunto que si lo aplico de forma superficial puede el producto espantar a las termitas. Por mientras en lo que se aplica de la forma correcta.. Te agradezco mi amigo!!
Yo tengo el Termidor.
Este producto no asusta ni repele las termitas, ya que mata a la colonia de termitas. Thermidor es un veneno que no puede ser detectado por la termita, por lo que la dosis no los asustará. El producto que utilicé en el video debe usarse fuera de la casa porque también es peligroso para los humanos. Se debe aplicar en el suelo alrededor de la casa como describí en el video. Si las cucarachas, las huidas, las hormigas o las garrapatas entran en contacto con las áreas tratadas, morirán después de varios días; sin embargo, si la casa ya tiene cucarachas, debe usar otro producto que pueda usar en interiores como Talstar P www.domyown.com/talstar-talstar-one-p-97.html
Joseph K bueno, pero si mata a las termitas aunque se aplique de forma superficial cerca de la madera, como lo pregunta sepyboy? Sin hacer la sanja!
make sure to dig your trench level as you can.
i really dont understand why we cant just apply to top soil the ground is going to soak in the chemical up to six inches i get that the soil may soak a little bit further out from the target area but it seems like digging a trench is really just over kill
This is what the manufacture recommended after testing the product on top soil and when digging 6". It is guarantee to work when you put the substance in a 6"x6" trench . So the answer you can but per manufacture it is not guaranty to work.
@@josephk9182 yeh no i get that...im about to use a 4” edger along the perimeter and call it good...🤷🏼♂️ i get it “follow the product label” but ugh im good on all that nonsense
@@xmodusoperandix That is oakay
Not all soil can be easily penetrated. The product will just roll off hard clay soil. Not nonsense. The label says to do it a specific way for a reason. It's easy to do it right the first time or get someone to do it properly.
Where can i hire this guy to dig my trench?
So every 10ft you dig a trench... Ex: fill a 10ft trench, skip 10 ft and dig another 10ft?
Yes. I prepared 4 gallons of Termidor mix which is good for a trench of 10 feet x 6 inch x 6 inch.
Ana do not skip 10', dig a 6"×6" trench around the entire foundation of your home; apply 4 gallons Termidor mix every 10'
so did you have the problem under control?
Of course. Every 8 years I do termite treatment for this property. I had an issue 8 years ago (2008) when I bought this property, so this is the second time I did the treatment for this property and since then I never have termites issue.
for the fellow from the philippines copied this frommanother site....used lentrex myself and am very satisfied....use all precautions though when applying and storing treat like you would all poisonous chemicals...........Hi there. You might want to try Lentrex/Lantrex. You can get it at any ACE hardware store. AFAIK, almost all anti-termite chemicals have some form of carcinogens in them so that's why when you us them, it is not advisable to enter the treated area for a minimum of six hours. Latrex/Lentrex can be mixed with water and just spray the mixture over the exposed area....from pinoyhandyman.com/forum/in-and-out-of-the-house/home-maintenance-and-repairs/87-any-suggestion-on-a-good-termicide-anti-anay
where can i get the product?
Please Google it. You can buy Termidor or Tauros online.
babinhthai also, get taurus instead if you want to save money. it's the generic version of termidor
Aún alguien aquí en español😭 necesito comprarlo por qué tengo en mi yarda termitas🥺💔
Bueno. Esta sustancia es para termitas subterráneas.
That's trench looks more a foot wide. Also you didn't treat the back fill...
good video my friend, but you are forgetting something very important. You need to be more careful about yourself, you need to wear another kind of gloves, safety goggles, and a long sleave shirt...
what happens in case of contact with hands or the skin ?
You have to treat the back fill. now the termites will go over the back fill.
I treated the back fill, but did not show it. Thanks for you comment.
Just need to know how much to retreat the backfill with please . The same quantity ?
It's way longer than 10 years
You are correct but just to be in the safe place.
Damn import
Thank You
DIY lol he hires a dude to do it for him lmfao.
How did you treat the area where your concrete driveway comes up to your house/garage?
You drill holes inside the garage where double bricks is n inject chemicals in
