CSI Taurus SC Termite & Ant Control 20oz Bottle 

Taurus SC 9.1% Fipronil Insecticide 

RESTRICTED SALES: NY, CT, VT, MA

Taurus SC Insecticide and Termiticide with 9.1 % Fipronil has the same active ingredient and label as the well-known Termidor SC. Taurus SC is a non-repellent insecticide labeled for termite treatments and for home perimeter treatments. Since Taurus is a non-repellent, the insects do not know it is there, so they don't make attempts to avoid it. They will cross over it, and consume or spread Taurus SC throughout the entire colony. It is a water-based suspension concentrate for pre and post-construction termite applications, and to control perimeter pests.

Taurus SC will eliminate termite colonies in 2 to 3 months on average. As an ant control product, Taurus SC is proven to be a very effective ant killer working in just a couple of weeks. Taurus SC is labeled for outdoor use only.

Taurus SC Not Only Gets Termites

In addition the termites, it controls a wide variety of insects including ants, spiders, roaches, centipedes, millipedes, ticks, and many more.Taurus SC is labeled for barrier applications targeting occasional invaders around structures.

Taurus SC & Termite Control

Termite treating the outer perimeter of a structure is basically a matter of treating all of the soil next to the structure. This is usually fairly easy to do. Simply dig a small trench against the foundation of the home 6 inches wide and 6 inches deep is the recommended size.Then apply Taurus SC termiticide into the trench at the rate of 4 gallons of diluted chemical per 10 linear feet at a 0.06% dilution rate.

With most homes this easy job becomes a bit more complicated when you have concrete slabs that meet the building. These most common areas are garages, porches, and patios. Since the soil next to the foundation is covered by the concrete, you must drill through the concrete in order to access and treat the soil. The drill holes should be no farther apart than 12 inches and should be within 6 inches of the foundation. We prefer to use 1/2 inch diameter holes because they are small enough to drill fairly easily, yet large enough to allow the chemical to pass through quickly. The use of a rotary hammer drill is highly recommended. If you don't have a suitable drill you can rent one at most large 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 keep you from bending over as much and will reduce the strain on your back.

Taurus SC & Ant Control

Taurus SC is an excellent insecticide for ant control. Mix 0.8 oz of Taurus per gallon of water in a pump sprayer. Spray around the house 1 foot up the side of your house and one foot out from the house setting up a perimeter. Make sure to remove vegetation that may be touching the house so the ants and other pests won't be able to bypass the ant treatment.

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

Apply Taurus SC only twice a year according to label instructions. Spring and Fall times would be ideal application times.
