A Review Of The Top Four Termite Control Products

Although termites are social insects that mostly live underground, they can move up to 150 feet from a colony to search for food. In addition, they can cause structural damage to buildings. An infestation can occur when termites find their way into a building or when they set out to start a new colony. Some telltale signs of a termite infestation include sagging floors and ceilings, mud tubes on wooden structures, discarded wings, and termite droppings (frass). The good news is you can use a termite control product to prevent infestation. Here are four examples of such products:

Termidor SC

Termidor SC (suspended concentrate) is a termite control product that contains Fipronil 9.1% percent as the active ingredient. You can use it to clear drywood termites, subterranean termites, formosan termites, and dampwood termites. The manufacturer recommends mixing it with water and pouring it in a 6-inch deep trench around the foundation of your home. Remember to apply the treatment again after every four to six months. Use the contents of a 20 oz. bottle to make 24 gallons of liquid termite control solution. When poured on the ground, the solution normally creates a barrier that prevents termites from building a colony.

Taurus SC Termiticide

Best price $110.41

Again, the main active ingredient in this termiticide is Fipronil 9.1%. Since Taurus SC is a nonrepellant insecticide, termites ingest it and spread it throughout the colony. The manufacturer of the product says that it can clear a termite colony within a period of 90 days or even less. To use it effectively, dig a trench about six inches deep around the foundation of your home. After this, mix the termiticide with water and pour the solution into the trench. Leave the solution to soak into the soil before refilling the trench with soil. Besides using this product to kill termites living underground, you can use it to treat above ground termite infestations. To do that, just apply the termiticide solution to the infested areas/structures.

Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate

Unlike the two aforementioned termiticides, Dominion 2L uses Imidacloprid as
the active ingredient. According to the manufacturer, you can use it to control subterranean or above ground termites. The worker termites typically crawl over this nonrepellant termiticide and spread it throughout their colony. One 27.5 oz. bottle is enough to make 50 gallons of termite control solution that you can either pour directly on termite mounds/tubes or pour on the ground around your home to clear subterranean termites.

Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide

Best price  $74.33

Tengard SFR contains Permethrin 36.8% as its active ingredient and it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The manufacturer of the product claims the product is pet safe when dry. If you use it indoors, you only need to allow it enough time to dry up before you occupy your house. You can apply it on shrubs, bushes, building surfaces, cracks and crevices, upholstered furniture, wooden floors, and even carpets.

You should not watch termites destroy your home. Instead, visit your local hardware store and buy a termite control product such as Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate, Termidor SC, Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide, or Taurus SC Termiticide. Remember to read and follow the manufacturer's instructions. You can also use termite bait systems or termite foam to take clear an infestation.
