Does Termidor and Sentricon Kill Other Pests?
Termidor can kill a number of other insects including beetles, boxelder bugs, centipedes, cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, flies, silverfish, spiders, ticks, and wasps. It also works to provide control for acrobat ants, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and others. Sentricon is able to kill carpenter ants. However, it is formulated specifically for termites and thus unlikely to work against other bugs.
Are My Pets Safe From Termite Treatments?
As long as your termite exterminator has properly installed or applied termite treatment, your pets should be safe. Always take your pets with you if you need to vacate your home for treatment, and make sure to keep them away from treated areas well after the treatment is complete.
