Termidor for Termite Defense

Termidor® termiticide/insecticide has a number of flexible application options. Your pest professional will determine what type of Termidor treatment will work best for your particular situation. If there are no active termites in your home, Termidor will help ensure there won’t be any in the future. This not only protects your peace of mind, but adds value to your home as well.

Termites can’t avoid what they can’t detect.

Termidor is an advanced undetectable liquid technology. That means termites cannot see, smell, taste, or avoid it. Instead, they contact, ingest and share Termidor, completely unaware that doing so inevitably will kill them.

Termidor eliminates termites several ways.

When termites eat Termidor-treated material, they will die. Termite Control But Termidor doesn’t stop there. It eliminates termites by contact as well. And since termites can’t detect its presence, termites can directly ingest and contact Termidor as they go about their normal routines.

The Termidor “Transfer Effect™”

Whenever a termite ingests or touches Termidor, it can become a “carrier,” transferring Termidor to other termites it contacts. These termites, in turn, can become secondary carriers, behaving normally while they transfer Termidor to other termites they contact—and so on within the colony. Because Termidor is slow-acting, it gives individual termites ample time to transfer it to others in the population. This unique, spiraling process is called the “Transfer Effect,” and its devastating results maximize the protection of your structure.

Premise for Termite Defense

Premise is a non-repellent termiticide, meaning that termites do not detect that Premise is present. Premise creates an undetectable “Treated Zone®” around the home, where termites unknowingly eat treated cellulose or tunnel into treated soil. As termites come into contact with other termites, they transfer the active ingredient, imidacloprid, to “non-infected” termites. This mode of action, called the Domino Effect®, is extremely effective in controlling termites and protecting the structure of a home. Termites “infect” other termites and die. Unlike Premise, repellent termiticides work by creating a continuous barrier. As a result, the termites forage through cracks in the barrier and penetrate the home. Premise’s non-repellent chemistry offers better protection by not relying on this continuous barrier and, unlike other termiticides, you don’t have to wait to protect the structure of the home.
