⚗️ Mixing & Dilution Guide
Rates below are general guidelines. Always follow your specific product label — rates vary by brand and application site.
Termite soil treatment (trench & treat)
0.8 fl oz / gal (0.06% solution)
4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. This is a professional application in most states — verify your state license requirements.
Ant perimeter spray
0.8 fl oz / gal
Apply to soil and structure perimeter. Taurus SC is a direct substitute for Termidor SC at identical rates — same active ingredient, same concentration.
Indoor crack & crevice (Phantom)
Ready to use aerosol
Apply directly to harborage areas. Fipronil has a 'transfer effect' — insects carry it back to the colony.
📋 Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
- Termidor SC is restricted-use in most states for termite applications — verify license requirements
- Highly toxic to crustaceans and aquatic invertebrates
