Dan you should use Termidor HE imo instead of Taurus Termidor He only requires 2x4” trenches AND concrete drill holes require 18 inches of space instead of 12 inches
Exactly and it has polymers in it to bond in the soil more that's why you use less. Termindor SE will work fine, but the industry kinda has moved on with HE over the past 4-5 years. Taurus is the same thing but I don't understand why people use it over Termindor, there's not much difference in price
@@gr8fulnbama439 yea plus Control solutions is a crappy company to buy from imo In Houston they opened up like 10 stores for DIYers while simultaneously selling to professionals so they take food out of our mouths essentially Same as Bayer really how Bayer sells DIY versions of chem in Lowe’s / HD
What I really want is Taurus/CSI to come out with their version of HP. the injection system. Have you seen this work? It's amazing. I heard Taurus might be coming out with one soon pestcontrol.basf.us/products/termidor--hp-ii-high-precision-injection-system.html
@@DanTheBugMan I get quote for the termite control company using termidor hp II, which is expensive compare with traditional one. The technician told me that they don't need to trench around, I am little bit worried about deck and front porch area where fundation is inside, without drilling holes, just use the HP || system around will be effective?
I'm new to PC and have been working at a local branch of a big company. Told my boss I discovered you and he told me you own Toby's in my town. My mind is blown. I have my first brown recluse service next week and I'm using a lot of your videos.
Lifetime Warranty [if on a recurring payment plan]. @ 14:45, "if termites ever come back to your home, we'll take care of the problem at zero charge." Does that mean you will inspect, remove and pay for any termite damage incurred? Or just that - yeah, we'll come back and spray some more?
Good video. Thank you for the information. Regarding your spray/pump system. What sort of PSI are you typically using? Just curious if my typical ag spray rig would put out enough PSI at 70PSI?
From the Philippines here, love watching your channel. By the way, do you have a complete very detailed video on how you treat a house that is termite infested?
I notice you said you inject at a depth of 30 inches, depending on the foundation the label calls for 48 inches minimum and even deeper if they have a basement for example. I also notice you are not drilling holes 12 inches apart across the patio or the driveway so you are leaving GIANT gaps in the barrier. We drilled patios, driveways and patched the holes when we were done with cement.
Yes depending on the foundation, not many foundations have footers deeper than 30 inches in my experience. Unless its a basement, in which case the he label says "if the footing is more than 4 feet below grade treat to a minimum depth of 4 feet". Which means treat at least 4 feet down, but not required to do more. I don't know anyone who has a rod longer than 4 feet🤣! That rod would be crazy! Do you have a rod that long? North Carolina rules stated 30 inches so that is what I was going off of. And the customer didn't want us to drill the patios. We had the customer sign a waiver.
@@DanTheBugMan Not to be that guy man but the label is what you need to go off of, not what North Carolina says. Most labels are universal and will specify mostly situations like New York and California for different laws. So if you have a 36" Rod then you need to dig a 12 inch trench then rod to full length of 36". Or dig an even deeper trench.
@@DanTheBugManwhat does the warranty cover? As ive read on reddit some1 had to take a company to court because they had damage after treatment or they totally missed it
how come you didn't drill a hole through the driveway and treat there? My termite experience is limited, however what I have seen is that liquid trench and treat methods are done that way.
Hi, Dan. Good information! I live in Florida and have subterranean termites. The inspector wants to sale me two products that prevent/kills both subterranean and formosan termites. ?Are there two different types of products to treat pest? He wants to spray infested area and install bait stations that will kill both types of termites. I look forward to your response. Thank you😊
I also use this with Tekko Pro for the outside and then Onslaught with Tekko Pro for the inside of my garage. Never once had any insects inside. I am also starting my own. PC company this year as a side business.
The house has all kinds of slabs connected to it and that counts as the perimeter too. If you don't treat it ,Its just a spot treatment then. If I wasnt going to drill it, I would at least trench outside the perimeter of the slabs themselves. I did termite work for over 20 years and we would spot treat active areas with Termindor and treat the perimeter with Sentricon. I hope for this company their state regulators are not watching
No we don't unless necessary and customer didn't want me to. Unless the termites are clearly coming in under the slab the soil treatment will always take care of the colony. Just think, the termites are foraging for food everywhere in the soil in a spider web like fashon, they will come in contact with the product even if we skip over a side walk or drive way. We hand the customer a waiver and still issue the warranty.
@@gr8fulnbama439 Everything I did in this video was per label and state regulations. Just because you did it one way for 20 years doesn't mean there's not another way to do it. Open your mind to new possibilities
@@DanTheBugMan Well I just stopped last year and open my own pest business, not doing termite. It may different where you at, but in Alabama you cant skip any slab areas even if the customer says so. The Alabama waivers themselves way "customer not wanting an area treated isn't a valid excuse." So we would spot treat the same infected areas with Termindor and treat the perimeter with Sentricon to cover the rest of the house We could not put them in bond with a spot treatment. Then again Im guessing it's different where you at
Dan can you do a review on backpack sprayers like your Jacto and any other units you have? Jacto is about the only sprayer I haven’t tried and my coworkers Flowzone just broke again so just curious how good Jacto is
Yes just pay someone and then you’re also supporting local business Plus I assume you didn’t have a rotary hammer to drill your concrete areas so your home is likely unprotected in 10-25% of areas
@@dereckc9469 wasn’t a scare tactic I’m just saying realistically if you did a trench only termite treatment you probably missed a couple of areas that normally we drill into concrete For example I usually drill 1 hole on each corner of the garage driveway I usually drill 3-4 holes on A/C pads that are up against the house If you have a backporch I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance that should’ve been drilled unless it’s monolithic etc.

you followed the label then.
@@DanTheBugMan Not to be that guy man but the label is what you need to go off of, not what North Carolina says.

So if you have a 36" Rod then you need to dig a 12 inch trench then rod to full length of 36". Or dig an even deeper trench.
Soooo where does the reoccurring monthly income come from in the pesticide business? Since this is a one time treatment?
For this for example we offer the customer a termite warranty, which is billed at about $150 per year or monthly if they want
@@DanTheBugManwhat does the warranty cover? As ive read on reddit some1 had to take a company to court because they had damage after treatment or they totally missed it

So good! And a great price

Great video as usual! what are the brand of boots you are wearing while treating?
Thank you!! Called Brunt. I like them
Taurus SC vs Navigator SC, same active ingredient, does it matter which one i order?
Where's the best place to buy them?
Thanks!
What is price to treat an average home?
Is there anyway to get your pest control operator license without years of experience?
You can take the Purdue IPM course and qualify for the exams in most states. Google their website and it will tell you which states.
In NC you either need 2 years of experience or an entomology degree.
I normally would fill the trench with Chem let it soak down cover trench and treating un treated dirt
4 gallons of solution (water and concentrate) for every 10 feet. How much concentrate Taurus SC is required to make a gallon of solution? Thanks!
Thanks for the video
For an active infestation, if this house had a Crawlspace, would you still drill the block?
Does fipronil 2.9 percent works agaist termites??
Do you do Florida? And says have a lifetime warranty
What if perimeter is cement?
Are you not going to drill the slab areas

Do you take other jobs when you do this such as pc or jut focus on termites for the day
This is definitely a major portion of my day. Sometimes I can fit in a few more stops
@@DanTheBugMan thanks for the answer
Would you treat differently in an area with Formosans?
Dan can you do a review on backpack sprayers like your Jacto and any other units you have?
Jacto is about the only sprayer I haven’t tried and my coworkers Flowzone just broke again so just curious how good Jacto is
Yes I can! I have used Jacto, Sthil, and a brand called Chapin.
@@DanTheBugMan my coworker had the Chaplin with the black and decker battery
Bettery broke immediately out of the box..
When trenching homes with a crawl space should you trench the interior perimeter of the crawl space or does just the exterior of the home work?
Just the exterior will provide great coverage but you can do the crawlspace also
did mine by trenching took 3 days in florida sun. in ten years when time to do again I'll pay someone lol
Yes just pay someone and then you’re also supporting local business

After this treatment when will customer need another treatment?
Not for about 10 years!
I just use a JD9 it’s easier and you’ll never have your rod plug up in those 4 holes
Ill check it out. Thanks!!
