General Information 

When used in accordance with the directions in this label,this product provides effective prevention and/or 

control of subterranean termites. This product must be applied in manner which provides a continuous 

treated zone to effectively prevent termites from infesting wood. 

This product may only be applied by licensed technicians familiar with trenching, rodding, short rodding, 

sub-slab injection, low-pressure banded surface applications and foam delivery techniques. This product 

is a highly effective termiticide against a variety of subterranean termites including species of 

Reticulitermes, Zootermopsis, Heterotermes, and Coptotermes. 

Taurus SC is formulated as a water-based suspension concentrate liquid containing 9.1 % active 

ingredient. 

Mixing Instructions 

To mix Taurus SC termiticide / insecticide: 

1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with water. The filling hose must be equipped with an anti-backflow device 

or water flow must include an air gap to protect against back siphoning. 

2. Start the pump to begin by-pass agitation and place the end of the treating tool in the tank to allow 

circulation through the hose. 

3. Add the appropriate amount of Taurus SC required to prepare the desired dilution. 

4. Add the remaining water. 

5. Continue to run the pump allowing recirculation through the hose back into the tank until the Taurus 

SC is completely dispersed. 

e To mix a 0.06% dilution, add 0.8 fluid ounces of Taurus SC per gallon of finished dilution. 

• To mix a 0.09% dilution, add 1.2 fluid ounces of Taurus SC per gallon of finished dilution. 

• To mix a 1.25% dilution, add 1.6 fluid ounces of Taurus SC per gallon of finished dilution. 

Application Rates for Termiticide Use 

For most applications, use the 0.06% dilution and apply at a rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet 

per foot of depth. For example, for treatment of 10 linear feet with a four-foot depth, use 4 x 4 (16) 

gallons per 10 linear feet. Do not apply at a concentration less than 0.06%. 

Use the higher concentrations (0.09% or 0.125%) in areas with severe termite pressure or existing 

infestations. Apply the higher concentration at a rate of 4 gallons of solution per 10 linear feet per foot of 

3 -

7
) 

depth. For example, for treatment of 10 linear feet with a four-foot depth, use 16 (4 x 4) gallons per 10 

linear feet. 

In dense soil that will not accept a volume of 4 gallons per linear foot per foot of depth, use the 0.125% 

dilution, and apply at a rate of 2 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. For example, for treatment of 

10 linear feet with a four-foot depth, use 8 (2 x 4) gallons per 10 linear feet. When using the lower volume 

of application, be careful to maintain a continuous treated zone. If application requires drilling, drill holes 

• less than 12" apart to maintain a continuous treated zone. 

PRE-CONSTRUCTION TREATMENT 

In advance of treatment, applicators must notify the general contractor, construction superintendent, or 

other responsible personnel of the intended Taurus SC application arid the intended sites of application. 

Applicators must instruct the person responsible to notify construction workers and other individuals on 

site to vacate the treatment area and not to return until Taurus SC has been absorbed into the soil. 

General Information 

Pre-construction treatments include any treatment made during all phases of construction up to and 

including installation of the final grade. Establishing a thorough and complete horizontal and vertical 

treated zone will provide effective pre-construction termite control. 

When foundations are deeper than 4 feet, it is preferable to apply Taurus SC as the backfill is being 

replaced. If the backfill is already in place, the applicator must trench and rod into the trench or trench 

along the foundation walls, around pillars and other foundation elements, at the rate prescribed from 

grade to a minimum depth of 4 feet. When trenching in sloping or tiered soil, the trench must be stepped 

to ensure adequate distribution and to prevent Taurus SC from running out of the trench. When the top of 

the footing is exposed, the soil adjacent to the footing must be treated to a depth not to exceed the 

bottom of the footing. Never treat any structure below the footing. 

Concrete Slab (Including Monolithic, Floating and Supported Concrete Slabs) on Ground or in 

Basements and Crawl Spaces 

Horizontal treated zones: Apply an overall treatment of Taurus SC to the entire surface to be covered 

by the concrete slab. This includes living area, as well as carports, porches, basement floors, and any 

extended entrances. Apply this treatment at the rate of 1 to 1.5 gallons of finished dilution per 10 square 

feet using a coarse spray nozzle and low-pressure spray (less than 25 p.s.i.). Spray the dilution evenly 

and uniformly over the entire area to be treated. If the slab is not to be poured the same day as treatment, 

cover the treated soil with a waterproof barrier such as polyethylene sheeting. 

Vertical treated zones: Apply Taurus SC at a rate of 1 gallon of finished dilution per square foot around 

anything penetrating the slab such as utility service and plumbing lines. Apply Taurus SC at a rate of 4 

gallons of finished dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth along the inside and outside perimeter of 

foundation walls. The applicator must trench and rod into the trench or trench along the foundation walls 

and around pillars and other foundation elements. If the footing is more than 4 feet below grade, make 

this treatment to a minimum of 4 feet below grade. A trench need not be any wider than 6 inches. Treat 

the soil which will be replaced into the trench using a low-pressure spray (not more than 25 p.s.i. at the 

nozzle). When rodding from grade or from the bottom of a shallow trench, space the rod holes no more 

than 12 inches apart in a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. 

It is highly recommended that a complete horizontal treated zone be created prior to the slab pour. 

However, if the slab was poured before a horizontal treatment could be made, refer to the "PostConstruction" section of this label for alternate application instructions. 

Hollow Block Foundations or Voids 

Create a continuous treatment zone by treating hollow block foundations or voids in masonry resting atop 

the footing. If voids in the masonry elements are not openly accessible, drill and treat into these voids by 

applying 2 gallons of finished dilution per 10 linear feet of footing using a nozzle pressure of 25 p.s.i. or 

lower. When using this treatment, drill the access holes as close to the footing as is practical. Drilling 

below the sill plate is acceptable. Applicators must examine the treated areas of voids in block or rubble 

foundation walls closely for possible runoff as a precaution against application leakage. Mechanical 

alteration to some areas may be required before a treatment can be made. Other areas may not be 

treatable. 

All leaks resulting during the application of Taurus SC in locations other than those prescribed on this 

label must be cleaned up before leaving the application site. Do not allow people or pets to come in 

4-

8
) 

contact with contaminated areas or allow them to reoccupy the treatment site until the clean up is 

completed. 

Not for use in voids insulated with rigid foam. 

Use with Other Products 

When a borate-based termite control product has been chosen as the primary pre-construction treatment 

for subterranean termites and is applied in accordance with the directions for use on the borate product's 

label, Taurus SC may be used as an exterior perimeter pre-construction treatment. For an exterior 

perimeter pre-construction treatment, Taurus SC must be applied in such a way as to create a continuous 

treated zone along the exterior foundation of the structure. A complete and thorough horizontal preconstruction treatment with Taurus SC under the concrete slab is optional. 

Taurus SC may also be applied to critical areas of the interior of the structure including around plumbing 

or utility services penetrating floors, bath and / or shower traps, or along concrete expansion joints, and 

other areas of known or suspected termite activity. 

Refer to the "POST-CONSTRUCTION EXTERIOR PERIMETER / LOCALIZED INTERIOR (EP / L1) 

STRUCTURAL TERMITE TREATMENT" section of this label for instructions on applications to the 

exterior perimeter of a structure and to critical areas in the interior of the structure. 

POST-CONSTRUCTION CONVENTIONAL STRUCTURAL TERMITE TREATMENT 

General Information 

For applications of Taurus SC made after the final grade is installed to protect the structure from termite 

infestation and/or to control existing termite populations, the applicator must trench and rod into the 

trench or trench along the foundation walls, around pillars and other foundation elements, at the rate 

prescribed from grade to the top of the footing. When the footing is more than 4 feet below grade, treat to 

a minimum depth of four feet. The depth of treatment will vary depending on soil type, degree of 

compaction and location of termite activity. When the top of the footing is exposed, the soil adjacent to the 

footing must be treated to a depth not to exceed the bottom of the footing. Never treat any structure below 

the footing. 

To establish a complete exterior perimeter treatment zone along the foundation wall, drill any exterior 

concrete structures adjoining the foundation, such as patios, porches and sidewalks, and treat by subslab injection of Taurus SC finished dilution. 

Before treatment, locate and identify all heating or air conditioning vents and ducts, water and sewer 

plumbing lines, electrical lines and conduits, and avoid contamination or damage to these structural 

elements. 

Concrete Slab Over Soil (Including Monolithic, Floating and Supported Slabs) 

Exterior perimeter: Apply by trenching and rodding into the trench or by trenching along the foundation 

walls at the rate of 4 gallons of finished dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth, or, if the footing is 

more than 4 feet below grade treat to a minimum depth of 4 feet. Trenches need not be wider than 6 

inches and must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the bottom of the footing. Never treat a structure 

below the footing. Space the rod holes no more than 12 inches apart in a manner which will create a 

continuous treated zone. Mix the finished dilution into the soil before replacing it into the trench. 

Sub-slab injection: Sub-slab injection treatments can be made from inside the structure, or in cases 

where this is not possible, from the outside of the structure by drilling through the foundation as directed 

below. Before treatment, locate and identify all heating or air conditioning vents and ducts, water and 

sewer plumbing lines, electrical lines and conduits, and avoid contamination or damage to these 

structural elements. 

Vertical drilling I injection: Make treatments under the slab by drilling vertically through the slab along 

the interior perimeter of the foundation including the garage. Drill holes along all concrete expansion 

joints, cracks, plumbing and utility services penetrating the slab. Drill holes along interior partition walls 

when there is clear evidence of termite activity or damage. Space all drill-holes no more than 12 inches 

apart in a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. Inject the finished dilution of Taurus SC 

into the drill-holes at a rate of 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. When making applications, 

use a lateral dispersal nozzle to achieve the best results. After treatment, all holes in commonly occupied 

areas must be plugged with a non-cellulose material or covered with an impervious, non-cellulose 

material. 

5 -

9
) 

Horizontal drilling I rodding I sub-slab injection from the exterior of the foundation: Use this 

technique to treat underneath the slab only when floors or interior design do not allow for treatment by 

vertical drilling. Care must be taken not to rod into heating or air conditioning vents and ducts, water and 

sewer plumbing lines, electrical lines and conduits. Use horizontal short rodding practices to create a 

continuous treated zone into the soil proximal to the inside of the foundation wall. Angle drill-holes 

through the outside of the foundation to ensure deposition of Taurus SC below any existing heating 

ducts, water and sewer lines, or electrical conduits. Use horizontal long rodding practices only when the 

areas to be treated underneath the slab are not accessible by vertical rodding or horizontal short rodding. 

Do not use long rods exceeding 20 feet. For all horizontal rodding applications space drill-holes no more 

than 12 inches apart in a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. Inject the finished dilution 

of Terminal into the drill-holes a rate of 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. All holes must be 

plugged with a non-cellulose material or covered by and impervious, non-cellulose material. 

Bath traps: Treat exposed soil or soil covered with tar or similar sealants beneath or around plumbing 

and/or drain pipe entry areas with a minimum of 1 gallon but not more than 4 gallons of finished dilution 

per square foot. It may be necessary to r~move tar or sealant to ensure adequate soil penetration. Install 

an access door or inspection portal if one is not already present. After inspection and removal of all wood 

or cellulose debris, treat the soil by rodding or drenching with the finished dilution of Taurus SC. 

Shower drains: To treat the soil beneath and adjacent to shower pan drains, drill through the slab 

adjacentto the shower pan and apply the finished dilution of Taurus SC by sub-slab injection. Foam can 

be used to maximize dispersion. Drill multiple access points adjacent to the drain, and use a directional 

dispersion tip to enhance the treatment of the soil beneath the drain. Treat with a minimum of 1 gallon but 

not more than 4 gallons of finished dilution per shower drain. Horizontal rodding can be used to access 

and treat soil associated with the shower drain. 

Structures with French Drains and Sump Pumps 

In sites where French drains exist at the footer along the foundation perimeter, common in hollow block 

foundation structures, the soil must be dry before applications can be made. Do not treat soil that is 

saturated or frozen. Do not make treatments while precipitation is occurring. To prevent seepage of 

finished dilution or damage to drains or tiles, do not rod through the slab any closer than 24 inches from 

French drains. Do not apply Taurus SC within 5 feet from the sump pump pit and pump. Do not drill 

through hollow block foundations that border French drains to prevent drainage or seepage from the 

block into the drains. 

Identify and locate French drains, then apply Taurus SC in the following manner: 

1) Unplug the sump pump. Inspect the sump pit for water. If no water is present, keep the sump 

pump unplugged while making the treatment. 

2) If water is in the pump pit, unplug the sump pump and remove four cups of water from the pit. 

Mark the water level. Wait 10 minutes then check the water level in the pit. If the water level has 

risen, there is too much seepage to make a treatment. If the water level has not risen, a treatment 

can be made as long as the sump pump remains unplugged. 

During application, check the sump pump pit every few minutes for the presence of termiticide dilution. If 

dilution is detected, stop the treatment immediately and remove all dilution from the pump pit before 

plugging the pump back in. Dispose of the dilution from the sump pump pit as directed by this label in the 

"Storage and Disposal" section. 

Basement Structures 

Exterior perimeter: Apply by trenching and rodding into the trench or by trenching along the foundation 

walls at the rate of 4 gallons of finished dilution of Taurus SC per 10 linear feet per foot of depth, or, if the 

footing is more than 4 feet below grade treat to a minimum depth of 4 feet. Trenches need not be wider 

than 6 inches and must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the bottom of the footing. When trenching in 

sloping or tiered soil, the trench must be stepped to ensure adequate distribution and to prevent Taurus 

SC from running out of the trench. Never treat a structure below the footing. Space the rod holes no 

more than 12 inches apart in a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. Mix the finished 

dilution into the soil before replacing it into the trench. 

Inside perimeter: To treat under the basement floor slab, drill vertically through the slab along the interior 

perimeter of the foundation. Drill holes along all concrete expansion joints, cracks, and any plumbing or 

utility services penetrating the slab. Drill holes along both sides of partition foundation walls, and around 

piers. Where there is clear evidence of termite activity in a non-foundation interior partition wall, drill holes 

through the slab adjacent to the wall along one side. Space all drill-holes no more than 12 inches apart in 

6-

10
a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. Inject the finished dilution of Taurus SC into the 

drill-holes at the rate of 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. When making applications,use a 

lateral dispersal nozzle to achieve the best results. After treatment, all holes in commonly occupied areas 

must be plugged with a non-cellulose material or covered with an impervious, non-cellulose material. 

Accessible Crawl Space Construction 

Before treatment turn of any air circulation equipment that moves air from the area to be treated to any 

untreated interior space of the structure. Do not turn the air circulation system back on until the 

application of Taurus SC is completed and has been absorbed into the soil. 

Treat crawl spaces by applying a vertical Taurus SC termiticide treatment at the rate of 4 gallons of 

finished dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth from grade to the top of the footing, or, if the footing is 

more than 4 feet below grade treat toa minimum depth of 4 feet. Apply by trenching, or by trenching and 

rodding into the trench. Treat both sides of foundation and around all piers and pipes. In areas where 

physical obstructions exist that prevent trenching, such as concrete walkways adjacent to the foundation, 

apply by rodding alone. Where soil type and/or conditions make trenching impossible, apply by rodding. 

When the top of the footing is exposed, treat the soil adjacent to the footing to a depth not to exceed the 

bottom of the footing. Read and follow the mixing directions in the "Mixing Instructions" section of this 

label when encountering soil types which will not accept the full application volume. 

• Rod holes and trenches must not extend beneath the bottom of the footing. 

It Space the rod holes no more than 12 inches apart in a manner which will create a continuous 

treated zone. 

• Trenches need not be wider than 6 inches and must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the 

bottom of the footing. When trenching in sloping or tiered soil, the trench must be stepped to 

ensure adequate distribution and to prevent Taurus SC from running out of the trench. Mix the 

finished dilution into the soil before replacing it into the trench. 

Inaccessible Crawl Space Construction 

Before treatment turn of any air circulation equipment that moves air from the area to be treated to any 

untreated interior space of the structure. Do not turn the air circulation system back on until the 

application of Taurus SC is completed and has been absorbed into the soil. 

For any inaccessible interior areas, for example where the clearance between the floor joists and ground 

surfaces do no allow for operator access, excavate, if possible, and follow the instructions for accessible 

crawl spaces. When excavation is not possible, apply one or a combination of the following two methods: 

1) Establish a horizontal treated zone by applying 1 gallon of finished dilution of Taurus SC with a 

coarse application nozzle (e.g., Delavan Type RD Raindrop, RD-7 or larger, or Spraying Systems 

Co. 8011 OlP Teejet or comparable nozzle) per 10 square feet of soil surface using a nozzle 

pressure of less than 25 p.s.i. For any area which cannot be reached with the application wand, 

use one or more extension rods. Do not broadcast or power spray with high pressures. 

2) Establish a horizontal treated zone by drilling through the foundation wall or through the floor 

above and treat the soil adjacent to the foundation at a rate of 1 gallon of finished dilution of 

Taurus SC per 10 square feet. Drill spacing must not exceed 16 inches between drill-holes. 

Many states have smaller interval requirements so check state regulations before application. 

Treat the soil adjacent to foundation elements with short or long rodding techniques without 

drilling if it is possible to reach the soil to be treated with the treatment tool. 

Hollow Block Foundations I Voids 

Establish a continuous treated zone in hollow block foundations or voids in masonry resting on top of the 

footing by drilling and treating into voids of multiple masonry elements of the structure to soil level. If not 

openly accessible, drill and treat into voids of masonry elements. Apply 2 gallons of finished dilution per 

10 linear feet of footing at a nozzle pressure of 25 p.s.i. or less. When making this treatment, drill access 

holes as close as possible to the footing, below the level of the sill plate if necessary. Applicators must 

examine the treated areas for possible runoff as a precaution against application leakage. Mechanical 

alteration to some areas may be required before a treatment can be made. Other areas may not be 

treatable. 

All leaks resulting during the application of Taurus SC in locations other than those prescribed on this 

label must be cleaned up before leaving the application site. Do not allow people or pets to come in 

contact with contaminated areas until the clean up is completed. 

Not for use in voids insulated with rigid foam.

Treatment of Structures with Wells or Cisterns 

Do not contaminate wells or cisterns. 

Do not apply Taurus SC within S feet of any well or cistern. Treat soilS to 10 feet from any well or cistern 

by backfill method only. Treat soil adjacent to water pipes within 3 feet of grade by backfill method only. 

Backfill method: 

1) Trench to remove the soil to be treated and place it into a wheelbarrow or onto heavy plastiC 

sheeting or similar material. 

. 2) Treat the soil at a rate of 4 gallons of finished dilution of Taurus SC per 10 linear feet per foot of 

trench depth, or at a rate of 1 gallon per cubic foot of soil. Mix the Taurus SC thoroughly into soil 

while taking care to prevent runoff or spillage. 

3) After the treated soil has completely absorbed the finished dilution of Terminal, put it back into the 

trench. 

Structures Adjacent to Wells I Cisterns and I or Other Bodies of Water 

Prior to application examine any structure with nearby sources of water such as wells, cisterns, ponds, 

streams or other bodies of water, then follow the treatment procedures described below. 

1) If the pipe(s) from the well enter the structure with 3 feet of grade, expose them is possible prior 

to treatment. Treat the soil adjacent to the water pipe(s) using the backfill method described 

above. 

2) Take precautions, prior to treatment, to limit the risk of Taurus SC being applied into subsurface 

drains which empty into any bodies of water, including evaluating whether treatment of the footer 

could result in contamination of subsurface drains. Take into consideration such factors as depth 

to the drain system, soil type and degree of soil compaction when determining the depth of 

treatment. 

3) Use the treated backfill method, when appropriate (e.g., on the water side of the structure), to 

minimize off-site movement of Taurus SC. 

4) To minimize potential runoff of Taurus SC into non-target areas, apply a finished dilution of 

0.12S% at a rate of 2 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. 

Plenum Construction 

Before treatment turn of any air circulation equipment that moves air from the area to be treated to any 

untreated interior space of the structure. Do not turn the air circulation system back on until the 

application of Taurus SC is completed and has been absorbed into the soil. 

Treat the soil exterior to the foundation walls according to the instructions in the "Accessible Crawl Space 

Construction" section of this label. 

Follow the instructions below for interior treatment of plenum structures that use a sealed under floor 

space to circulate heated or cooled air throughout the structure: 

1) Remove sealing fabric and anything on the sealing fabric to expose no more than an 18 inch 

width adjacent to all foundation structures, including foundation walls, interior piers, pipes and any 

other structures in contact with soil. Treat according to the instructions for exterior and interior 

treatment in the "Accessible Crawl Space Construction" section of this label. 

2) After the finished dilution of Taurus SC has been absorbed into the soil, return the sealing fabric 

and anything removed from the surface of the sealing fabric to Jheir original pre-treatment 

positions. 

Foam Application 

When construction practices, soil subsidence, or other factors make it difficult to establish a continuous 

treated zone with conventionalliqui(j application methods, supplement treat with the use of foamgenerating equipment. Foam applications are useful in the treatment of filled stoops and porches, 

chimney bases, into block voids, behind masonry or other veneers, and into stud walls. Utilize 

applications of dry foam only (a range of 1S:1 to SO:1 expansion ratio) when treating voids in stud walls. 

Apply foam to wall voids where evidence of termite presence or damage exist or are suspected. 

Foam only treatments under slabs are appropriate when maximum horizontal coverage is desired In 

areas with no deep foundation or footing (for example: around plumbing entries and near settlement 

cracks in concrete slabs). Use both conventional liquid application and foam treatment in areas where 

both lateral spread and deeper vertical penetration of Taurus SC are desired. Effective treatment is highly 

dependent on volume and amount of active ingredient. Apply at least 7S% of the finished dilution of 

Taurus SC as a liquid treatment, then deliver the remaining 2S% or less to the appropriate areas as a 

8 -

12
foam application. The total amount of product applied as a combined foam and liquid treatment should be 

equivalent to volume of Taurus SC liquid finished dilution required for a liquid application alone. Foam 

applications provide a good supplement to liquid applications in difficult to treat areas. 

Foam mixing instructions: 

Prepare the desired finished dilution of Taurus SC, then mix with the manufacturer's recommended 

quantity of foaming agent in foaming equipment. Apply a sufficient volume of Taurus SC foam to establish 

a continuous treated zone at the rates recommended in this label for specific applications. When sufficient 

foam volume cannot be applied to achieve the recommended rate of Taurus SC ,supplement the 

treatment with additional liquid finished dilution to assure appropriate treatment volume and concentration 

in the treated area. 

• 1 gallon of finished dilution at a foam expansion ratio of 25: 1 makes 25 gallons of foam. 

• 1.66 gallons of finished dilution at a foam expansion ratio of 15: 1 makes 25 gallons of foam. 

• 2.5 gallons of finished dilution at a foam expansion ratio of 10: 1 makes 25 gallons of foam. 

• 5 gallons of finished dilution at a foam expansion ratio of 5: 1 makes 25 gallons of foam. 

POST-CONSTRUCTION EXTERIOR PERIMETER I LOCALIZED INTERIOR (EP I LI) STRUCTURAL 

TERMITE TREATMENT - Not approved for use in Louisiana 

General Information 

This post-construction application of Taurus SC can be made after the final grade is installed to protect 

the structure from termite infestation and/or to control eXisting termite populations. This treatment method 

is designed to be non-invasive to the interior of the structure with the establishment of a continuous 

treated zone along the exterior of the foundation and only treating interior spaces where termite activity 

has been found. If you have questions regarding this treatment, consult the appropriate state agency. 

Termite activity is defined as the presence of one or more of the following signs of infestation: 

1) Alales (winged termites) have swarmed inside the structure. 

2) Live termites are found to be active within the structure. 

3) There is clear evidence of termite activity on or inside the structure such as the presence of mud 

tubes, galleries in wood. 

Do not apply Taurus SC finished dilution as perimeter I localized interior treatment at a concentration 

lower than 0.06% or at an application volume lower than those speCified in the "Application Rates for 

Termiticide Use" section of this label. 

EXTERIOR PERIMETER TREATMENT 

To prevent termite infestation of a structure, exterior perimeter applications of Taurus SC must be made 

in a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. If situations are encountered where the soil will 

not accept the full application volume recommended in the use directions below, read and follow the 

direction in the "Application Rates for Termiticide Use" section of this label. 

Concrete Slab on Ground (Including Monolithic, Floating and Supported Concrete Slabs) 

Apply along the exterior foundation perimeter by trenching and rodding into the trench or by trenching at 

the rate of 4 gallons of finished dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. Trenches need not be wider 

than 6 inches and must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the bottom of the footing. Space the rod 

holes no more than 12 inches apart in a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. Mix the 

finished dilution into the soil before replacing it into the trench. 

In areas where physical obstructions exist that prevent trenching, such as concrete walkways adjacent to 

the foundation, apply by rodding alone. Where soil typeand/or conditions make trenching impossible, 

apply by rodding. In order to establish a complete exterior perimeter treatment zone, drilling and sub-slab 

treatment will be necessary wherever adjoining concrete structures exist such as patios, porches or 

sidewalks. For driveways, exterior drilling is necessary only around building supports or wall elements 

permanently located at driveway joints. Never treat a structure below the footing. 

Basement and Inaccessible Crawl Space Construction 

Apply along the exterior foundation perimeter by trenching and rodding into the trench or by trenching 

along the foundation walls at the rate of 4 gallons of finished dilution of Taurus SC per 10 linear feet per 

foot of depth, or, if the footing is more than 4 feet below grade treat to a minimum depth of 4 feet. 

Trenches need not be wider than 6 inches and must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the bottom of 

9-

13
the footing. When trenching in sloping or tiered soil, the trench must be stepped to ensure adequate 

distribution and to prevent Taurus SC from running out of the trench. Space the rod holes no more than 

12 inches apart in a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. Mix the finished dilution into the 

soil before replacing it into the trench. Never treat a structure below the footing. 

In areas where physical obstructions exist that prevent trenching, such as concrete walkways adjacent to 

the foundation, apply by rodding alone. Where soil type and/or conditions make trenching impossible, 

apply by rodding. In order to establish a complete exterior perimeter treatment zone, drilling and sub-slab 

treatment will be necessary wherever adjoining concrete structures exist such as patios, porches or 

sidewalks. For driveways, exterior drilling is necessary only around building supports or wall elements 

permanently located at driveway joints. Never treat a structure below the footing. 

If termite activity is detected inside an inaccessible crawl space, the area must be treated. Make a 

localized interior treatment at the site of termite activity and extending at least 2 feet in both directions 

from the activity. Choose the appropriate application technique for treating inaccessible crawl space 

construction by referring to the "POST-CONSTRUCTION CONVENTIONAL STRUCTURAL TERMITE 

TREATMENT" section of this label. 

Accessible Crawl Spaces 

Before treatment turn of any air circulation equipment that moves air from the area to be treated to any 

untreated interior space of the structure. Do not turn the air circulation system back on until the 

application of Taurus SC is completed and has been absorbed into the soil. 

Before treatment turn of any air circulation equipment that moves air from the area to be treated to any 

untreated interior space of the structure. Do not turn the air circulation system back on until the 

application of Taurus SC is completed and has been absorbed into the soil. 

Treat crawl spaces by applying a vertical Taurus SC termiticide treatment at the rate of 4 gallons of 

finished dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth from grade to the top of the footing, or, if the footing is 

more than 4 feet below grade treat to a minimum depth of 4 feet. Apply by trenching, or by trenching and 

rodding into the trench. Treat outside of foundation and around all piers and pipes. In areas where 

physical obstructions exist that prevent trenching, such as concrete walkways adjacent to the foundation, 

apply by rodding alone. Where soil type and/or conditions make trenching impossible, apply by rodding. 

When the top of the footing is exposed, treat the soil adjacent to the footing to a depth not to exceed the 

bottom of the footing. In order to establish a complete exterior perimeter treatment zone, drilling and subslab treatment will be necessary wherever adjoining concrete structures exist such as patios, porches or 

sidewalks. If situations are encountered where the soil will not accept the full application volume 

recommended in the use directions below, read and follow the direction in the "Application Rates for 

Termiticide Use" section of this label. 

• Rod holes and trenches must not extend beneath the bottom of the footing. 

• Space the rod holes no more than 12 inches apart in a manner which will create a continuous 

treated zone. 

• Trenches need not be wider than 6 inches and must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the 

bottom of the footing. When trenching in sloping or tiered soil, the trench must be stepped to 

ensure adequate distribution and to prevent Taurus SC from running out of the trench. Mix the 

finished dilution into the soil before replacing it into the trench. 

Garages: Attached garage floors should be treated 

Sub-slab injection: Sub-slab injection treatments can be make from inside the garage, or in cases where 

this is not possible, from the outside of the structure by drilling through the foundation as directed below. 

Before treatment, locate and identify all heating or air conditioning vents and ducts, water and sewer 

plumbing lines, electrical lines and conduits, and avoid contamination or damage to these structural 

elements. 

Vertical drilling I injection: Make treatments under the slab by drilling vertically through the slab along 

the interior perimeter of the garage foundation. Drill holes along all concrete expansion joints, cracks, 

plumbing and utility services penetrating the slab. Drill holes along interior partition walls when there is 

clear evidence of termite activity or damage. Space all drill-holes no more than 12 inches apart in a 

manner which will create a continuous treated zone. Inject the finished dilution of Taurus SC into the drillholes at a rate of 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. When making applications, use a lateral 

dispersal nozzle to achieve the best results. After treatment, all holes.in commonly occupied areas must 

be plugged with a non-cellulose material or covered with an impervious, non-cellulose material such as 

Portland cement. 

10 - 14
) 

Horizontal drilling I rodding I sub-slab injection from the exterior of the garage foundation: Use 

this technique to treat underneath the slab only when interior design do not allow for treatment by vertical 

drilling. Care must be taken not to rod into'heating or air conditioning vents and ducts, water and sewer 

plumbing lines, electrical lines and conduits. Use horizontal short rodding practices to create a continuous 

treated zone along the iriside perimeter of the foundation. Angle drill-holes through the outside of the 

foundation to ensure deposition of Taurus SC below any existing heating ducts, water and sewer lines, or 

electrical conduits. Use horizontal long rodding practices only when the areas to be treated underneath 

the slab are not accessible by vertical rodding or horizontal short rodding. Do not use long rods exceeding 

20 feet. For all horizontal rodding applications space drill-holes no more than 12 inches apart in a manner 

which will create a continuous treated zone. Inject the finished dilution of Terminal into the drill-holes a 

rate of 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. All holes must be plugged with a non-cellulose 

material or covered by an impervious, non-cellulose material such as Portland cement. 

LOCALIZED INTERIOR TREATMENT 

As part of a complete treatment, targeted interior applications may be made to vulnerable areas such as 

around plumbing or utility services penetrating floors, bath and / or shower traps, or along concrete 

expansion joints or settlement cracks. 

If know termite activity exists in areas inside living spaces or in non-living spaces,(such as crawl spaces, 

plenums etc.) of the structure, a localized interior treatment must be made at the immediate vicinity of the 

termite activity and radiating out at least 2 feet from the site in two or more directions. 

Hollow Block Foundations I Voids 

When termite activity is evident in or in the vicinity (within 2 feet) of hollow block foundations or voids in 

masonry resting on the footing, drill the wall adjacent to the evidence, if not openly accessible, and inject 

the finished dilution of Taurus SC into the void at a rate of 2 gallons per 10 linear feet of footing using a 

nozzle of 25 p.s.i. or less. This localized interior treatment to hollow block must be made at the site of the 

termite activity and to areas above the termite activity. Treatment must be applied radiating out at least 2 

feet in two or more directions from the site of activity or along the wall pier or support post. Use of foam 

will maximize dispersion. When using this treatment, drill access hole below the sill plate as close as 

possible to the footing as is practical. 

Applicators must examine the treated areas of voids in block or rubble foundation walls closely for 

possible runoff as a precaution against application leakage. Mechanical alteration to some areas may be 

required before a treatment can be made. Other areas may not be treatable. 

All leaks resulting during the application of Taurus SC in locations other than those prescribed on this 

label must be cleaned up before leaving the application site. Do not allow people or pets to come in 

contact with contaminated areas or allow them to reoccupy the treatment site until the clean up is 

completed. 

The drilled holes in commonly occupied areas must be plugged with a non-cellulose material or covered 

by an impervious, non-cellulose material such as Portland cement. 

Bath Traps 

If termite activity is evident within 2 feet of a bath trap, exposed soil or soil covered with tar or a similar 

sealant around plumbing and / or drainpipe entry areas must be treated. Tar or sealant may have to be 

removed to ensure adequate soil penetration. Install an access door or inspection portal if one is not 

already present. After all wood and cellulose debris is removed, treat the soil by rodding or drenching with 

a minimum of 1 gallon to a maximum of 4 gallons of finished dilution of Taurus SC per square foot. 

Shower Drains 

If termite activity is evident within 2 feet of a shower drain, soil beneath and adjacent to he drain must be 

treated. Drill through the slab adjacent to the shower drain and apply the finished dilution of Taurus SC by 

sub-slab injection to the soil below. Multiple access pOints may be drilled adjacent to the drain. Use of 

foam will maximize dispersion, Use of a directional dispersion tip will further enhance the treatment of the 

soil beneath the drain. Treat the soil with a minimum of 1 gallon but no more than 4 gallons of finished 

dilution per shower drain. Horizontal rodding can also be used to access and treat soil associated with a 

shower drain. 

Retreatment Instructions 

Annual retreatment of a structure is prohibited. Retreatment for subterranean termites can only be 

performed under the following circumstances: 

11-

15
1. There is clear evidence of re-infestation. 

2. There is disruption of the treated zone due to construction, excavation, or landscaping and / or 

there is evidence of the breakdown of termiticide treated zone in the soil. 

Treat these vulnerable or re-infested areas using a spot, partial or complete treatment in accordance with 

the application techniques described in this label. The timing and selection of retreatment type will vary 

depending on such factors as termite pressure, soil types and conditions, and other factors which may 

reduce the effectiveness of the treated zone. 

POSTS, POLES, WOODEN LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTATION 

Do not contaminate wells or cisterns. 

For preventative treatment: Create a continuous treatment zone in the soil around wooden posts, poles, 

fence posts, signs and landscaping ornamentation. Apply the finished dilution of Taurus SC atthe rate of 

4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. When performing the treatment at the time of installation, the 

finished dilution may be applied to the soil as it is replaced around the pole or post. The application 

should place termiticide to a depth of 6 inches below the bottom of posts, poles or other wooden objects 

in contact with soil. 

For a curative treatment: Treat previously installed wooden posts, poles, fence posts, signs and 

landscaping ornamentation with the finished dilution of Terminal by sub-surface injection or by gravity flow 

through holes made at the bottom of a trench around posts and poles. When trenching, the trench need 

not be wider than 6 inches and should be 6 inches deep. When sub-surface injecting, treat all sides to 

create a continuous treatment zone. Apply termiticide to a depth of 6 inches below the bottom of the 

wood. 

TERMITES ABOVE GROUND 

For Control of Termite Aerial Colonies or Drywood Termites 

To treat localized areas of wooden structures, apply the finished dilution of Taurus SC to wooden 

members / voids. To treat inaccessible areas, drill and inject the finished dilution into the damaged wood 

of void spaces with a crack and crevice injector. Foam application can also be made into void spaces. 

To treat termite carton nests in trees or building voids, inject the finished dilution of Taurus SC using a 

pointed injection tool. Multiple injection pOints to varying depths may be necessary. Physically remove 

carton nest material from building voids when such nests are found. 

After treatment, the applicator is required to check for leaks resulting in the deposition of Taurus SC in 

locations other than those prescribed on this label. When found, this material must be cleaned up before 

leaving the application site. Do not allow people or pets to come in contact with contaminated areas or 

allow them to reoccupy the treatment site until the clean up is completed. 

DO NOT TREAT FRUIT- OR NUT-BEARING TREES.

Mixing Instructions 

For perimeter pest treatments mix a 0.06% spray dilution of Taurus SC by filling the treatmennank 1/4 to 

1/3 full with water, then ad 0.8 fluid ounces of Taurus SC. The filling hose must be equipped with an antbackflow device or the water flow must include an air gap to protect against back siphoning. Add more 

water to the tank while agitating to 1 gallon of finished dilution. 

Apply 0.06% of finished Taurus SC dilution as a low-pressure spray to the exterior of the structure where 

listed pests enter, trail around the structure or where they crawl and hide. Also apply around any exterior 

openings where listed pests could enter the structure such as around doors, windows, vents, pipes, 

foundation cracks or drilled holes. Make sure to treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, 

aluminum or other similar materials) meets the cement, brick or block foundation. Treat anywhere 

electrical, cable or telephone wires enter the house. This treatment should be made as a general surface 

spray, crack and crevice spray, or a wall void application. Taurus SC may be applied as a foam treatment 

into wall voids to kill and I or control the above listed pests. 

Apply 2 quarts of 0.06% finished spray of Taurus SC per 160 linear feet. 

Refer to the "Foam Application" section of this label for specific foam mixing and application instructions. 

Except for foam applications made into wall voids, application is limited to an area 1 foot out from and 1 

foot up from were the ground meets the foundation. Do not exceed a maximum of 2 applications per year. 

Nests are found on the ground within 1 foot of the foundation may be treated. 

Vegetation touching the structure may offer a route for the entry of ants into the structure without coming 

into contact with the treatment; therefore, remove or prune away any shrubbery, bushes, and tree 

branches touching the structure.

Subject: Labeling Concerns for Fipronil Product Cited for Similarity in Registration Application 

for 'me-too' product 

Product Name: Taurus SC 

EPA File Symbol: 53883-ETO 

Application Dated: October 22,2010 

Decision Number: 441364 

Dear Ms. Turnbough: 

EPA is in ongoing discussions with the registrant of a product (Termidor SC, EPA Reg. 

No. 7969-210)that you have cited for similarity in your application for a new pesticide product, ( 

EPA File Symbol 53883-ETO) containing the active ingredient fipronil. The Agency has a 

number of concerns related to product labeling, in light of a "large number of fipronil misuse 

incidents reported in the United States. While the specific nature of these incidents is 

confidential, we are working with the parent registrant to address our safety concerns. 

Because of these concerns, OPP cannot at this time make a finding that your submitted 

me-too product will not significantly increase the risk of unreasonable adverse effects on the 

environment (which is part of the finding for substantial similarity). Per our telephone 

conversation and email correspondence (both on April 18, 2011), the Agency agrees to proceed 

with processing your registration application via one of the following options: 

1. OPP can wait to register your me-too product until after the parent product negotiation 

is complete because OPP cannot make a finding that the me-too will not significantly 

increase the risk of unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. This would require 

a renegotiation of the PRIA due date for your application. 

2. OPP can register your me-too product now if you are willing to agree to a condition 

that you will amend the product label accordingly once the parent product has been 

amended. If you wish to accept this option, a condition such as below will be placed in 

the registration notice: 

Page 1 of 2 

31
"You will be held to the same conditions as the product you cited as a basis for the 

finding that your product is identical or substantially similar to a currently-registered 

pesticide. When additional conditions or requirements are applied to the cited product to 

address the concerns discussed in EPA's letter (referencing this correspondence), the 

Agency will notify you and you will have 30 days to submit an amendment to conform 

with those conditions or requirements." 

If you have any questions, you may contact Clayton Myers at (703) 347-8874 or 

myers.c1ayton@epa.gov.

Footnotes 

A. During the 21 day initial content review, all eSFs will be reviewed to determine 

whether all inerts listed, including fragrances, are approved for the proposed uses. If an 

unapproved inert is identified, the applicant must either 1 ) resolve the inert issue by, for 

example, removing the inert, substituting it with an approved inert, submitting 

documentation that EPA approved the inert for the proposed pesticidal uses, . correcting 

mistakes on the eSF, etc. or 2) provide the data to support OPP approval of the inert or 3) 

withdraw the application. Removing or substituting an inert ingredient will require a new 

eSF and may require submission of data. All information, forms, data and 

documentation resolving the inert issue must have been received by the Agency or the 

application withdrawn within the 21 day period, otherwise, the Agency will reject the 

application as described below. 

To successfully complete this aspect of the 21 day initial content screen, applicants are 

strongly encouraged to verify that all inert ingredients have been approved for the 

application's uses even if a product is currently registered by consulting the inert Web 

3 

/ 

49
site [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOllinerts/lists.html] and if the inert is not 

approved, to obtain the necessary inert approval prior to submitting an application 

to register a pesticide product containing that inert ingredient. Some inert 

ingredients are no longer approved for food uses or certain types of uses. The name 

and/or CAS number on a CSF must match the name and CAS number on this web site. 

Simple typographical errors in the name or CAS number have resulted in processing 

delays. 

If an inert is not listed on the inert ingredient web site and the applicant believes that the 

inert has been approved, the applicant should contact the Inert Ingredient Assessment 

Branch (IIAB) at inertsbranch@epa.gov and resolve the issue. Copies of the 

correspondence with IIAB resolving the issue should accompany the application. All 

new inerts except PIP inerts are reviewed byIIAB. The IIAB should also be contacted 

for any questions on what supporting data needs to be submitted for and the Agency's 

inert review process. Questions on PIP inerts should be directed to the Chief of 

Microbial Pesticides Branch [Link to 

http://www.epa.gov/oppbppdllbiopesticides/contactsbppd.htm]. 

When a brand, trade, or proprietary name of an inert ingredient is listed on a CSF, 

additional information such as an alternate name of the inert, CAS number or other 

information [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/tips.pdfl must also be included 

to enable the Agency to determine if it has been approved. Each component of an inert 

mixture (including a fragrance) must be identified. In some cases, the supplier of the 

mixture or fragrance may need to provide this information to the Agency. Prior to the 

Agency's receipt of an application, applicants must arrange with a proprietary mixture or 

fragrance supplier to provide the component information to the Agency or promptly upon 

EPA's request. Ifthe inert ingredients in a proprietaryblend (including fragrances) 

cannot or are not identified or provided within the 21-day content review period, the 

Agency will reject the application. 

During the 21 day content review, applicants should submit information to the individual 

identified by the Agency when the applicant is informed of an unapproved inert. 

Unapproved Inerts Identified on CSFs 

All applications except conventional new products and PIPs 

Once an unapproved inert is identified on a CSF, the Agency will contact the 

applicant with the following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If this option is selected and implemented, the Agency may 

request an extension in the PRIA decision review timeframe to accommodate 

the inert review/approval process; 

4 

50
3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% ofthe full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of these options is selected and implemented by the applicant within the 

21 day content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 

25% of the full fee of the category identified. 

Conventional New Product Applications 

When the Registration Division identifies an unapproved inert on a CSF with an 

application for a new product that the applicant has not identified as requiring an 

inert approval (R311, R312 or R313), it will contact the applicant with the 

following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the applicatIon's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert, including any required petition to establish or amend a 

tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. (This option may change the PRIA 

category for the application, which cQuld require a longer decision review 

time and a larger fee. If additional fees are due, they must be received by the 

Agency within the 21 day content review period.) 

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% ofthe full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

Ifnone of the above options is selected and implemented during the 21-day 

content-review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the appropriate fee for the new product-inert approval category. 

PIP Applications 

When the Biopesticide and Pollution Prevention Division identifies an 

unapproved inert on a PIP CSF and a request to approve the inert does not 

accompany the application, it wiIl contact the applicant with the following 

options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the speliing or name of the 

inert to that in 40 CFR 174, or providing documentation that the inert has been 

approved; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If an inert ingredient tolerance exemption petition is 

required, the petition must be received by the Agency and the B903 fee paid 

within the 21 day period. If this option is selected and implemented, the 

Agency will discuss harmonizing the timeframe for both actions. 

5 

51
3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

Ifnone of the above options is selected and implemented during the 21 day 

content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the fee. 

B. A policy on documentation of offers to pay is still being developed, however, for a 

me-too or fast track (similar/identical) new product, R300 or A530, an application 

without the necessary authorizations of offers to pay will be placed into either R301 or 

A531. The Agency recommends that authorizations of offers to pay be submitted with 

other PRIA applications to avoid delays in the Agency's decision. 

C. Biopesticide applicants are advised to contact the Agency and discuss study waivers 

prior to submitting their application to the Agency. Documentation of such discussions 

should be submitted with the study waiver.
