QUESTION:
Do they class a spot treatment on the outside of a premises with Termidor as part of the two treatments a year? If I have treated a foundation and in between the first and second treatments per year I find trailing ants, can we spot treat them? It does not say anything on the label about it so thought I would ask the question.
ANSWER:
Label interpretation is always a delicate issue, and I suggest it is best to err on the side of caution. The Termidor label states rather bluntly “DO NOT exceed the maximum of two applications per year”. Since it does not modify this restriction in any way I suggest that if you were to make ANY application on the exterior of a structure that is an “application”, and two of these in any calendar year is the limitation. It does not necessarily mean that you could go back a third time and treat surfaces that were not actually sprayed on the first or second applications. This is such an important product for us for ant control that we need to be sure to toe the line and stay within what the Label clearly allows.
