How to treat a concrete slab home for TERMITES - DIY termite treatment

Watch us as we treat this concrete slab home for termites! This treatment only took us about two hours. If you watch this video you will be able to protect your valuable home from destructive termites. And yes they will find your home if it doesn’t have coverage, it’s just a matter of time…

ALL the EXACT products I use for 🪳pest control, 🎥 content creation, and 🕺personal.

To recap: We treated this concrete slab home for termites. All you need to complete this treatment is a 5 gal bucket, termiticide chemical, water, shovel, and gloves. First, measure the outside perimeter of the structure. This will tell you how much chemical you need to buy. You will need to purchase about .32 fl oz of chemical per 1 linear foot. Second, dig a trench along the outside perimeter of your home, deep enough so the chemical doesn’t run out. Third, mix the chemical with water as according to the label. Always follow label instructions. Fourth, apply the mixture to the soil and let is soak in. Then that’s about it, just clean up and rinse the pesticide container before you throw it away.

Comment any questions you have below!

I recommend using the chemicals Taurus SC or Termidor SC. Both chemicals will give you at least 10 years of termite protection (if done correctly). You should be able to find them to purchase on line.

My builders did the same crap you mention at 13:40 . Just putting in bait stations. They actually wanted $560.00 for their annual renewal. What a rip off. They obviously know its better to treat the home. But they want to make money on an annual contract. I treated my home myself once the building inspection was done and told them to get lost.

Educate your audience on PPE. You’re using one of the strongest products available on the market and have no safety glasses, chemical resistant gloves, waterproof boots or anything. Teach them to give a minimum 6” gap between your water source and what you fill. Any lil kid who goes up to that water source on the side of the home for drink of water is now at risk due to splash back. Your channel is awesome. Just some feedback.

amazing video quality! i'm so psyched for your stomp series whenever you find the bugs hehe

[randygreen]

I’m so glad to see that you’re finally using PPE! Watching this broke my heart no joke! This is also one method for treating hemlock trees from the wooly adelgid. ❤️💪🏼😎👍🏼❤️

My second bathroom swarmed with termites on the floor. My Uncle started a pest control company back in the 70's called Helm's Pest Control. My dad worked for him and tried to get my uncle to make a bug and put it on top of the vehicles but he wouldn't do it.

I actually do general pest control in Ca and we use toures sc 6 months out the year. The house I live in has termites and your video is giving me the blue print. Active ingredient in toures is fipronil.

What do you recommend for treatment of a slab foundation where this a concrete slab next to the exterior wall? Taurus label says to drill concrete every 12 inches. Most videos i see on youtube have professionals using slab injectors to pump the solution under the slab. Are we just supposed to pour into the holes as DIYer?

Excellent filming! Nice house too... and that trench, ... extraordinary

[wbaham]

Informative video. How do you protect house from the termites entering under the concrete driveway?

[stilllifeproductions]

Thanks for your videos, Dan the Bug Man! Our home has a connecting driveway, and walkways adjacent to the main slab. Only about 50% of the main slab is adjacent soil. What do you advise?

That 'piece of wood' you pulled out of the bait station is actually an always active fipronil type bait station. That is one they eat, take back to the colony and destroy the nest.

They are great, but they are not a single service solution IMO. They rely too much on pot luck of termites finding them.

Dan, keep saving us money. You covered yourself when you said follow the instructions & wear PPP. I LOVE YOU & GUY PEST CONTROL CHANNEL. I have two questions: 1. I have a circular driveway in front of my house. Should I also trench from the street up to the house and around & next to the U shape? 2. What's the best sprayer ( I dont care about the cost) to reach the untreated wood in my attic of my Florida home?. I'm a female & I don't ont want to go all the way up on the beams in the attic to spray. Is there a sophisticated sprayer or fogger that reaches to the other side of a 1600 sq feet house? I want to buy Bora Care & the dye to spray my own attic as a pre- treatment to getting my tent in November. A Tent alone is useless .

[TrustPestControlSydney]

Great job on explaining the process thoroughly!

[johnchu]

Hi Dan, you're saying protection after the treatment will last for 10yrs, but the instruction on Taurus SC container says repeat twice a year?

[migzbirdiez]

Hey dudes, great video! Got a question. How do you treat a house with basement?

[dirtrider]

Such good info Dan, Remember to tell viewers to use rubber or latex gloves to kerp chemicals from skin contact 100% of the time. Keep up the good work!
