It's granules, so yes. I spread it with a pull behind spreader and hand spreader for close to my house.

What does everyone use for Termites under the house and around the house (not sure if there are any out there, but got one swarm out of my front door frame)
Taurus SC outside the house. I bought from a do it yourself pest control site. Worked like a charm on the carpenter ants I had.

I also use Taurus SC (termiticide) around the foundation to keep all bugs out of the house. In the yard I use Bifen XTS, primarily to prevent Army Worms, but also good for ants.

I spray outside house perimeter every 2-3 months with bifen-it. Sometimes around lawn with bifen too. Do I still need this?
No you don't need this but Taurus XC is what I use around the foundation. In the yard I use Bifen XTS every month to prevent Army Worms.

On a somewhat related note, does someone have recommendation for getting rid of clover mites? No idea how or why, but they been crawling all around our exterior walls. :/
Quote from beakeru2 :
if you find an effective way please let me know.. Ive used everything, literally... And have not placed a dent in the yard mite population..
Funny you two should mention those little demons. I have lived in my current house since Aug 2021... so not long. Last year I think I saw one or 2 in the house by the back door... didnt pay too much attention.

This year, however, starting middle of April (last month) I have seen hundreds or thousands on the outside of my siding and another hundred hanging around inside and outside of my windows... occasionally they do make it to other places in my house.

I have sprayed Talstar P, 1oz to 1gal of water, and have had great results. I also have a contract with a pest control company that comes out and sprays every quarter. If I have a problem they will come in between regularly scheduled visits. They've been to my house specifically for the mites 2 times now... still not under control.

I had grass that went right up to my foundation, so this past weekend I removed it and put high quality weed fabric down and then put an 18" barrier of river rock in. I finished moving 1.5 tons of stone sat evening, then I used a hose attachment of spectracide, washed my house, front back and all sides and all the river rock and several feet out into the yard.

Yesterday, I mixed 2 oz per 1 gall water of Talstar P and applied a very very liberal amount (used 3 gallons total) to the sides, foundation, and about 3ft into the yard) of that insecticide. I saturated the windows, doors, and cracks or crevices, and made sure to get it on the screens, etc.. I looked in my kitchen bay window and I did not see any moving mites today (many many dead ones that I haven't cleaned up yet)... I don't have the heart to look at the other windows.. but on the outside, in the few places I was looking, I saw extremely minimal activity... maybe 1-2 here and there.

I am in NW Ohio. I don't understand why they're so bad this year. My neighbor had them too but didn't care. He said he had them extremely bad several years ago.

They are a cyclical bug... very active in Spring and Fall... do not like cold or hot temperatures. The mites that make it inside do not want our food, clothing (like silver fish or carpet beetles), they don't bite, and the only negative thing is they leave a red pigment stain when squished.... all the same, i don't want to see them in my house or my computer desk at all!

I have a few bags of these granules and I am waiting for the rain.... we had a super wet late winter/beginning of spring (which could be why they're so bad right now), so I can lay the granules and eradicate the ones in the yard.

They are repulsed by certain plants, Roses, Chrysanthemums, Geraniums, and a few others... Also, if you lawn is over fertilized or heavy on the nitrogen, that is like a buffet for them!

DO MY OWN dot COM (all one word) is where I buy all my insecticides and such that is light years better than the crap they sell at the big box stores. Talstar P is super effective at darn near everything (You spray that around your house and outside I guarantee you'll see dead insects for weeks).. but weather and the sun will break down the chemicals you spray on your house. Frown

That website sells a mite-cide but is very expensive.... I am told the clover mites do not like mulch (but that attracts other insects) or small gravel/pebble barriers.

I bought 3-mule team borax to put in the bottom of my window sills for any stragglers.

NOTE: the Talstar P (and many but not all) is safe once dry.. so keep pets and children away from the applied product until it is very dry.

Subterranean or dry wood? Here in the upper Midwest Ive got subterranean; for spot treatment and short term prevention I use anything with deltamethrin as the active ingredient, Terro has it by the gallon so I usually buy that (Terro Home Pest Control). For home defense and destroying the colonies, I installed a Sentricon perimeter system (you'll need to buy from eBay as Dow Chemical does not sell to consumers direct). Sentricon bait traps feed poison directly to the colony and eventually eliminate the termites entirely, unlike soil perimeters that only act as a barrier.

I found no success with BASFs Termidor, and other off the shelf products just don't cut it with how quickly they can swarm. Happy to say termites are no longer sighted around the house.

Quote from yoga4life :
some of these insects eat up grass roots. so it kills your lawn
some bigger insects like grub do the same and then racoon, vole, skunk etc dig up your lawn looking for these insects

agree that it is not a necessity.
My yard is infested with ants and they find their way into my house. Rather kill them outside than use an insecticide inside my house.

If you care about bees: "This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area."
Is it ok to apply on the ground around flowing bushes like azaleas?

Thanks so much, they are subterranean, black swarmers, Identified by the color and shape, I haven't seen the termites themselves ever, only the swarmers once about 10 days ago, in thousands come out of my door frame.

Got it, deltamethrin. I will check HD and Lowes.

Instead of Sentricon, a lot of places recommended granules perimeter of the house, or trench and dump the liquid form to penetrate into the wood. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RUIJYM

In my case, I never saw termites anywhere, except that one time they swarm in last 2 weeks. Never in any rooms or any crumbs etc, I figured maybe they are eating inside the walls or maybe they crawled out of the thin crack in foundation or something. There is no apparent crack, just one super tiny hole I think.

Will this kill my doggo? I'd love to get rid of the bugs in our yard but not at the expense of my dog.
