| Everything you need
to know about Termidor termite pest control
What is Termidor?
Termidor is America's #1 termite defense against drywood
termites and subterranean termites. No other termite treatment
system of any type has ever achieved such a high level of
efficacy.
What types of termites does Termidor control?
Termidor controls Western Subterranean Termites, Eastern
Subterranean Termites, Desert Subterranean Termites, the
extremely destructive Formosan Subterranean Termites, and is
also labeled for wood injection control of Drywood Termites.
Through the years, other products have promised
homeowners protection from termites. How can homeowners be sure
that Termidor works?
Termidor is made from a revolutionary new
nonrepellent or "undetectable" chemical technology. In
numerous trials across the United States and around the world,
Termidor has consistently proven itself to be the most effective
and fastest at eliminating termites.. A level of efficacy that
no other termite control system of any type has ever achieved.
And, Termidor is proving to be equally effective in keeping
termites from coming back.
In over 10 years of testing, Termidor has proven more effective
than any other product or treatment method against subterranean
termites, including Formosans, in even the most challenging
situations, climates and environments, results no other termite
pest control product can match.
Where can I buy Termidor?
Termidor cannot be directly purchased or applied by homeowners.
Only licensed pest control professionals who have taken Termidor
Certification Training are authorized to purchase and apply
Termidor. You can find a
Termidor
Certified Professional in your area with our online locator.
How does a pest control professional apply Termidor
to my home?
A Termidor Certified Professional will apply a liquid dilution
of Termidor along the foundation walls of your home to create a
continuous treatment zone. The application method is called
"trenching and rodding," and may sometimes require drilling
holes into the concrete foundation of your home for maximum
protection. Your Termidor Certified Professional may also treat
the interior of your home, depending on the extent of the
termite infestation and damage.
How fast will Termidor work?
Termidor has consistently shown to provide 100% control of
subterranean termites up to six times faster than termite
bait/monitoring systems.
Can Termidor be used for both residential and
commercial buildings?
Yes, Termidor Certified Professionals can offer termite
protection to most any type of structure that is at risk for
termite damage, including residential homes, churches, office
buildings and schools.
How long will it take to complete a Termidor
application?
A residential Termidor application is typically completed by a
trained Termidor Certified Professional in less than a day,
offering your home or building termite protection that begins
immediately.
Will Termidor have or leave an odor?
No, Termidor is an odor-free method of termite control.
What makes Termidor different from other termite
control options, such as bait systems?
Termidor utilizes a unique action known as the
"Transfer Effect" to effectively eliminate termite
populations up to six times faster than bait systems. And,
unlike older liquids, Termidor does not repel termites, termites
can't smell, see or feel the insecticide, so they crawl freely
through treated areas. When a termite eats or even comes in
contact with the insecticide, it unknowingly transfers Termidor
back to the colony on its body. Every termite it contacts will
transfer Termidor to other termites. Termidor is the most
effective and fastest at completely eliminating termite
populations up to six times faster than bait/ monitoring
systems. Baits can take from many months to several years to
control a colony. That's because many bait systems work by
recruitment, in which termites must first discover a bait
station and then recruit sufficient colony members to it as
well. Only then is the termite control product added to the
station. Plus, there's no guarantee termites heading for or
already in your home will find the bait stations at all.
Termidor starts working immediately.
What will a Termidor termite treatment cost?
The cost of a Termidor termite treatment varies and largely
depends on your particular situation and the treatment plan you
and your termite pest control company agree upon. In the long
run, a Termidor treatment plan generally will cost less than a
termite baiting system and will provide more effective, longer
lasting control.
Is it environmentally responsible?
Termidor is one of the most thoroughly reviewed termite control
products in history. Termidor is registered with the
Environmental Protection Agency and can only be applied by a
pest control professional who has been trained in correct
application methods. Termidor is incredibly effective even at
low application rates. For an average home treatment, only about
8 ounces of the active ingredient (fipronil) is actually used.
Termidor bonds to the soil in which it is applied, so homeowners
need not worry about soil movement. In addition, Termidor's
active ingredient, fipronil, is used extensively on food crops
around the world and as the leading product for flea and tick
control on dogs and cats since 1995.
