Taurus SC Insecticide Termiticide & Pesticide

Taurus SC Insecticide and Termiticide contains 9.1% Fipronil, just like Termidor SC.
Taurus SC is a non-repellent insecticide labeled for termite and home perimeter treatments. Since Taurus is non-repellent, insects do not detect it and do not avoid it. Over it, they will consume or distribute Taurus SC across the colony. A water-based suspension concentrate for pre- and post-construction termite and perimeter pest control.

Taurus SC often eliminates termite colonies in 2 to 3 months.. Taurus SC is a highly effective ant control solution that starts working within a few weeks.

In addition to termite control, Taurus pesticide controls various insects, including ants, roaches, centipedes, spiders, millipedes, ticks, and many more. It is labeled for barrier applications that target occasional invaders around structures.

Taurus SC &Termite Control

Termite treatment of a structure's outer perimeter entails treating the entire soil surrounding the structure. This is usually fairly easy to do.

• Simply dig a small trench against the foundation of the home. Six inches wide and 6 inches deep is the recommended size.
• Apply Taurus SC termiticide to the trench at a rate of 4 gallons of diluted chemical per 10 linear feet, with a dilution rate ranging from 0.06% to 0.125%. Use this rate for 1 foot of depth.
• We recommend the strongest strength allowed (0.125%) dilution rate for termite control. For this rate, use 1.6 oz per gallon of water.

With most homes, this simple task becomes a little more tricky when concrete slabs meet the building. The most popular spaces are garages, porches, and patios. Because concrete covers the soil adjacent to the foundation, you must drill through it to reach and treat the soil. Drill holes should be no more than 12 inches apart and within 6 inches of the foundation. We like 1/2-inch-diameter holes because they are tiny enough to drill readily but large enough to allow the chemical to pass through quickly. The use of a rotary hammer drill is strongly suggested. If you do not have a suitable drill, you may rent one from most major home improvement stores. Even though the slabs you will drill through are rarely deeper than 6 inches, I can tell you from experience that an 18-inch-long bit will spare you from bending down as much and put less pressure on your back.

Taurus SC Insecticide for Ant Control

Taurus SC Insecticide is excellent for ant control. Mix 0.8 oz (0.06% dilution rate) of Taurus per gallon of water in a pump sprayer. Spray around the house, 18 inches up the side and 18 inches out, to form a perimeter. Spray 18 inches around where listed pests (including ants) enter, the trail around the structure, or where they crawl and hide (where ants are found crawling on structures ). Remove vegetation that may be touching the house so the ants and other pests won't be able to bypass the ant treatment.

Spray the Taurus Insecticide mixture in other entry points, such as doors (don't spray near door handles), windows, pipes, cracks, vents, holes, etc.. Treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, aluminum, or similar materials) meets the cement, brick, or block foundation. Treat anywhere electrical, cable or telephone wires enter the house.
