​@@DanTheBugMan Is there any efficient way to treat dry wood termites not using fumigation tenting process??? Am too allergic to Vikane bombing inside my home. I wonder if there is another way we can do? Thank you for any advice

Well this was a good video hope your business is doing well! I actually have Taurus I didn't think it lasted as long as terminal he.

[@fredsanchez311]

Very informative video. I hope to see your next video on dry wood termite treatment. Thanks.

[@BlackBlake]

Appreciate you offering any type of solution other than tinting, which is more than I can say for any of the pest control companies if spoken with

[@barricklowseth2033]

assuming you meant tenting, you must have drywood termites. This is a treatment for subterranean termites. The treatment is a lot different because drywoods live inside the wood whereas subterranean termites live in the ground and travel to eat the wood.

[@BlackBlake]

[@HandsONreviews4u]

YOUR VIDEO IS 100% INSANE(LY) INCREDIBLE BRO😅👍You have been really helping A LOT of us home owners get rid of these destructive hole making insects. Last winter I dug an entire trench around my house and laid down Tourus SC according to specs. This spring I will buy that foam and get under my house with it by drilling holes and applying that foam in it. Termite companies must be pissed at you for this channel but my family here in NY we LIKE YOU BUDDY👍👍 Glad I am SUBSCRIBED 👌 OPEN A SISTER BUSINESS IN NEW YORK

[@USNAV]

I get these swarmers every year. Ive had exterminator come out every year and still no solution. So im gonna buy this and drill holes to my outside wall and fill as much of this as i can plus dig the drench. Also home depot now sales a termite insecticide. I think the home depot solution would work for a good maintenance after the termite colony is killed.

[@josecabello7178]

Hello, I have 3 areas that termites are active in my house, 4 total pin holes in sheetrock. Do I need just need 1 foam spray for that? How much do we spray inside hole?.. I am also trenching around the perimeter.

[@gustavozuquim1585]

Interesting question. I did the treatment but on a side of my house I have too many roots making it almost impossible to dig. Can I just dump the taurus? Same question Goes for someone that has artificial turf. Maybe it's better to use Granules?

What is the best way to treat termites in the wood chips that cover the plants surrounding the house?

[@tombohrer3320]

Thanks for the video, I was wondering how you treat along the foundation when there is a permanent deck where you can’t trench along the foundation. Also when there is concrete poured right up to the edge of the house. Do you need special equipment to pump the chemical in holes drilled in the concrete. Thanks.

We were jipped on out termite inspection when we bought our house a month ago. They spot treated the door jam in our garage and placed little things in the yard to keep termites from coming but turns out they were already in the wall. So last night they came out in our guest room through 3 little holes that made and swarmed . Terrible . We do have a bond with the company and I was just hoping to know if you could give us tips on what things to make sure they do when they come back to absolutley fix the situation so we’re not jipped again do to lack of knowledge in the process

[@DanTheBugMan]

Make sure they treat the soil! That’s where the colony is living

[@dandavids9794]

Wouldn't mixing at 0.12 dilution rate for 4 gallons need 61.44 ounces of the termiticide?? For 128 ounces of water × 0.12=15.36 ounces or 61.44oz for 4 gallons

[@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit]

Dan ditch the Taurus and get Termidor HE the trenches are 2x4” and when you drill you only have to do 18” drill holes instead of 12” It’s on sale this month of April

[@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit]

Also use your electric backpack to run the chemical through the hose while it’s inside of the backpack Best way to mix + shaking obviously

[@PyroLegend1]

Does Taurus not also contain Fipronil though..? I've heard that HE has a higher concentration of fipro

[@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit]

@@PyroLegend1 they both have the same amount of Fipronil Termidor HE has a surfactant (bonding agent) in it tho that bleeds into the soil much more efficiently and last longer

[@gr8fulnbama439]

He's already responded to that question. His answer is that he wishes that Control solutions would make an equivalent of HE. So he's obliviously being sponsored by Control Solutions. Why in the world would you use Taurus when it's only a $20 difference between the two. The public knows about Termindor, but they most likely haven't heard of Taurus

[@cryengine_x]

@@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit i looked at this, seems cool but pricy, a bottle (not sure how much that covers) was 225. About 11 yrs ago (amazing how time flies) I paid a guy to trench my house, cost 600 then. Drilled the driveway and the whole deal. I'm dreading how much it'll cost this time, I'm thinking 1k? I wonder if he even has this new stuff? But I doubt it'll cost any less (as I said, seems like the chemical itself is more expensive, so it's really just saving labor)

[@tiffany7mcintosh]

Great video! Do you have any videos on the proper way to do a preventative termite treatment near water lines coming into homes? (I.e. under sinks, around toilets) I’m assuming foam treatments would need to be done. If possible, I’d prefer to DIY it, but I want to make sure I’m taking the right approach. Thanks!

[@barricklowseth2033]

There's preventative pest control and active pest control. It's the difference between a spray around a house to keep cockroaches out and pointing at a mouse and saying "kill that". There's also 2 main types of termites, ones that live inside wood (drywood and dampwood) and ones that live in the ground and travel to eat wood (subterranean). For preventative for drywood termites, you have limited options. The only thing that comes to mind is treating wood with borax or pressure treating it (I've heard that keeps them out), but you'd have to treat all the wood in your entire house to be sure. To treat an active drywood infestation, you have to get a chemical like fipronil (termidor) or imidacloprid (premise) on some of the termites. That could be through drilling holes (or widening kick out holes) in the wood and injecting a foam or dust where you know the drywoods are. But that only kills the termites that you know are there. There can be several drywood colonies in your house that you don't even know about yet, as it takes up to 6 years before they swarm. The only answer to kill 100% of drywoods (and whatever other critters are around) in your house is to fumigate. To 100% prevent subterranean termites, you have to get a liquid barrier (normally fipronil) in the soil around the permiter of your home and stop any water leaks. If your home has a slab, that means you may have to drill some holes in your foundation to apply the chemical. To treat active subterraneans, you have to get the chemical on them through foam/dust injections and a perimiter treatment is recommended. If you don't have a known issue and you don't have the money for a professional preventative treatment (they'll have to retreat again and again, the chemical has a limited residual time), then my advice is to have regular termite inspections and only treat them when you find them. Applying chemical only around water pipes isn't an effective preventative as they could come from elsewhere. Termites really aren't something to DIY unless you opened up your wall and termites came pouring out and you want only those specific termites dead.

I have been watching your videos and recently trenched around my house using taurus sc liquid. I was wondering if homemade bait stations will work as a cheaper monitoring station. What do you think?

[@barricklowseth2033]

as long as you trench and treated properly, I don't think bait stations are necessary. It's normally one or the other. Also, the placement of bait stations is very very important. They don't have any sort of real attractant, so the termites can easily miss a station on the way into your house. I've seen companies put them 10 plus feet apart and in some really peculiar areas. The main perk of having a company put bait stations in is some sort of guarantee that they either work or if you find termites, they'll treat them for free.

I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I can’t find the answer anywhere online. Ok… I was walking in my backyard and saw a spot where it looked like someone legit scattered chocolate sprinkles. It was a pretty big area, like a 10’x10’ area in the grass and the more bald spots it was really evident. I gathered some and smushed a few pieces and it’s just made of dirt. No insect body pieces or plant pieces, just very fine dirt in a small kinda pellet shape. It has rounded ends so it’s not like one end is round and the other kinda pinched off. They’re all the same size with slight color variation but not by much. It looks like the same color of our red clay soil. I thought first it was worm poop, then maybe beetle poop since we have a ton of June beetles in the yard and parasitic wasps that go after their larva (it’s really a sight in summer lol). It’s not bat poop (we have a bat nest on the corner of the house so I know what their shit looks like) and not bunny poop. I CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS!!! It’s just such a large quantity I can’t imagine what insect or critter would poop that much?!?! PLEASE HELP!!!!!
