Termidor® 50 SC

Termidor® 50 SC is a professional-grade termiticide and insecticide formulation containing the active ingredient fipronil. It is used primarily for the control and prevention of termite infestations as well as other crawling insects.

Termidor® 50 SC is effective against subterranean termites. 

Termidor® 50 SC works through a transfer effect called "transfer of the active ingredient" or "termite transfer effect." Termites and insects come into contact with treated soil or surfaces and carry the active ingredient back to their colony, effectively eliminating the entire colony over time.

Termidor® 50 SC is typically diluted with water and applied as a soil treatment around and beneath structures to create a protective barrier. It can also be used for spot treatments and crack and crevice applications for other insects.

When used according to label instructions, Termidor® 50 SC is safe for humans and pets. It is important to follow all safety precautions, including keeping treated areas dry until the product has settled and avoiding direct contact with the concentrate. But animals should be kept away during application.

Termidor® 50 SC provides long-lasting protection, typically up to several years, depending on environmental conditions and application quality.

Termidor® 50 SC is primarily designed for soil treatment around structures following label directions.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), avoid inhalation or skin contact with the concentrate, and ensure treated areas are not disturbed until dry. Follow all label instructions carefully.

Contain the spill immediately, avoid spreading, and clean up using absorbent materials while wearing protective gear. Dispose of waste according to local regulations.

Termidor® 50 SC is a professional-use product and must be applied by licensed pest management professionals who have undergone specific training and certification. It is not available for purchase or application by homeowners.

Termidor® 50 SC typically eliminates termite colonies within about three months after treatment, depending on the size of the colony and environmental conditions.

Termidor® 50 SC uses a non-repellent mode of action, meaning termites cannot detect the chemical in the treated soil. This allows them to unknowingly pass through the treated zone and carry the active ingredient back to the colony, leading to effective colony elimination.

Yes, Termidor® 50 SC is widely used for pre-construction termite barriers by treating soil before the building foundation is laid, providing long-term protection against termite invasion.

Termidor® 50 SC is most effective when applied in dry soil conditions. Heavy rain immediately after application can reduce effectiveness, so timing treatments to avoid rain is recommended.

When used according to label directions, Termidor® 50 SC has a low environmental impact. It binds tightly to soil particles, minimizing leaching. However, care must be taken to avoid contamination of water bodies.

Contact a licensed pest professional to inspect the property. Termidor® 50 SC provides long-term protection, but any new activity should be assessed promptly to determine if retreatment or additional measures are needed.

Termidor® 50 SC is considered one of the most effective termiticides due to its non-repellent technology and ability to eliminate entire termite colonies rather than just repelling them.
