Termites are increasingly causing major structural damage to buildings throughout Australia. Since the banning of older but effective chemistry in the 1980's, there has been a frenzied search for a termite control product that offers real, long-term control and fast initial kill, no smell and low toxicity to humans and pets.
Now the solution has finally arrived - TERMIDOR.
WHY is TERMIDOR BETTER?
- TERMIDOR will not repel termites and therefore they cannot avoid the treatment.
- TERMIDOR will prevent concealed termite entry to structures for a minimum of 8 years on ALL TERMITE SPECIES - a claim no other termite control product can make.
- TERMIDOR is fast - On average, termite activity was eliminated within 4.3 weeks in Australian trials.
- TERMIDOR has a unique mode of action.
- TERMIDOR has the unique TRANSFER EFFECT™.
- TERMIDOR is less water-soluble and binds more tightly to the organic matter in soil than other non-repellent termiticides. This means it stays where it is applied.
- TERMIDOR has no effect on soil micro-organisms, earth worms or plants.
- TERMIDOR has been used on over 2 million homes in the US and over 15000 buildings in Australia since its introduction in 2002.
IT'S YOUR HOME, WHY RISK IT?
The "Transfer Effect™"
Termidor kills termites through contact and ingestion. Because Termidor is non-repellent, termites unknowingly ingest the product when they eat. Also, since termites cant detect Termidor, they go about their routine activities. So even if termites are not feeding, Termidor will still kill via contact.
Thanks to Termidor's unique "Transfer Effect™", termites don't even need to come into contact with the treated soil to die. Termites that do come into direct contact with Termidor subsequently pick up the product on their bodies and serve as carriers who then transfer Termidor to other termites. These secondarily affected termites can also pass Termidor on through feeding or contact.
Termidor controls termite populations faster than any other termiticide, especially bait/monitoring systems but is relatively slow acting in individual termites. Therefore, termites have ample time to spread Termidor to their nest mates before dying. This is the beauty of Termidor's unique "Transfer Effect".
