Termidor: America's Best Liquid Treatment

What is Termidor?

Simply put, Termidor is the most effective professionally applied liquid termite control product available today.  It is made by BASF Professional Pest Control, a leading manufacturer in the pest management industry.  Termidor’s “undetectable liquid” chemistry revolutionized the termite control market when it launched in 2000.  Since then it’s been used to successfully treat more than 1 million homes in the United States, eliminating 100 percent of termites in three months or less.

Why is Termidor so different from every other professional termite treatment?

Unlike traditional bait systems that rely on termites stumbling upon the termiticide which can take years to achieve control of, or outdated “barrier” treatments which usually fail because termites can find breaks to pass through to the home,  Termidor begins solving a homeowner’s termite problem immediately, killing 100% of termites in three months or less.

How does Termidor work so much better than the others?

The secret lies in its unique “Transfer Effect™.”  Termidor is the leader of a new generation of termiticides called “undetectable liquids” - these products are applied around the perimeter of a home and are designed to allow termites to forage in the treated soil without smelling, tasting, or feeling the treatment.  That’s when Termidor’s “Transfer Effect™” starts working - once a termite crawls through Termidor, it becomes a carrier and immediately begins to pass the active ingredient on to every other termite they come across through feeding, grooming, and other ordinary behavior.  It doesn’t matter if a termite encounters Termidor directly in the soil or through contact with another nestmate - within months each termite becomes a carrier, and the entire population is wiped out within ninety days.

Can people with families and pets feel comfortable choosing Termidor?

Termidor is one of the most thoroughly reviewed and tested termite insecticides in history.  It is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency and was the first termite insecticide to meet the high standards of the new Food Quality Protection Act.  Moreover, before the product ever reached the public, it was tested by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service for over nine years.  In fact Termidor’s active ingredient fipronil has been used since 1993 to control pests on food crops and homes, and to control fleas and ticks on household pets.

Termidor’s groundbreaking chemistry is so effective that you don’t need much of it to completely solve your termite problem.  There are only 8.4 ounces of active ingredient used in 100 gallons of water to treat the average home, and Termidor binds tightly to the soil in which it is applied, so homeowners need not worry about leaching through rainfall or irrigation.

Lastly, only licensed pest control professionals who have been trained and certified are authorized to purchase and apply Termidor.

Whatever the species,
Termidor® termiticide/insecticide is your answer.

Fortunately, there is a solution to termite problems like those posed by Eastern Sub termites: It's Termidor, the world's most amazing termiticide.

Tests have shown Termidor to be 100% effective against subterranean termites, even in the most challenging situations. It will completely eliminate your termites within 3 months of application. No exceptions. No excuses.

Termidor is non-repellent.

If a termiticide is non-repellent, that means the termites can't see it, smell it, or feel it. In fact, they don't know it's there at all. As a result, they'll continue to forage in treated areas. That might alarm you, but it's a good thing. Termites that are active in areas that have been treated with Termidor are helping to spread Termidor to more termites; they are, in fact, helping the termiticide do its job. Rest assured that in a short time all the termites-those you see and those you don't-will be controlled.

Remember, Termidor kills in two ways.

First, Termidor kills termites when they eat it (and since they don't know it's there, they readily ingest it along with the wood fiber and other material they typically eat). Second, Termidor kills termites that simply come into contact with it. So, even if your termites are not feeding, Termidor will kill them.

Termites that come into contact with Termidor will also carry it on their bodies. As a result, every other termite they contact, feed, or groom will also be exposed to Termidor. All these termites will in turn transfer the termiticide to still more termites. This will go on for several days, allowing Termidor to be spread throughout the entire colony. This unique mode of action is known as the "Transfer Effect™."

The active ingredient in Termidor, fipronil, is slow acting. That's a very good thing for you, and a very bad thing for the Eastern Sub termite colony. Why? Because Termidor remains active long enough for one termite to transfer the termiticide to a large number of other termites in the colony before dying itself. And although Termidor's effect on individual termites is intentionally slow, the overall impact on the colony is fast - it can be 2-6 times faster than bait systems.

What to expect after application.

Certainly, every home is different, so the specifics of your Termidor treatment and results will depend on your home's age, configuration, construction and level of infestation. Your Termidor Certified Professional will explain the best procedure for your situation. The entire application program is typically complete in a day or less; however, you may see some evidence of termite activity for several days afterward. That's okay. Rest assured that Termidor is working, and its unique ingestion, contact, and "Transfer Effect™" will eliminate termites from your home. Remember, responsible termite control demands periodic inspections by a licensed pest management professional.
