America's first 100% termite solution
Termidor is a new type of termite control that for over 5 years has faced the stiffest tests that both US and foreign researchers could throw at it.

Without exception, Termidor passed with flying colors. In fact, no other termiticide in history has consistently returned "100% effective" results whenever and wherever it was used.

For you, "100% effective" means that you can now choose a termiticide that not only eliminates termites from your home or business for at least the next 5 years. It also gives you 100% peace of mind.

What makes Termidor different?
Just about everything, including the "transfer effect." It all begins with fipronil. Fipronil is the active ingredient in Termidor, and it works quite differently from other termiticide active ingredients.

Termites don't know it's there
Many termiticides are repellents. This means that they keep termites away from a treated area, rather than killing them.

But if there's a gap in the treatment -- maybe someone digs up a flowerbed and breaks the line of defense -- the repellent effect fails and the termites get through. It happens frequently, and your only recourse is to have your house re-treated.

Termidor is non-repellent. Termites can't smell it, see it, or feel it. Since they don't know it's there, they forage freely in a treated area. The "100% effective" results begin here.

Kills individual termites two ways
First, and like other leading liquid termiticides, Termidor is lethal to termites, they ingest it (since they don't know it's there, they ingest it readily). Second, and unlike other termiticides, Termidor is lethal by contact. This means that termites don't even have to ingest it to die from its effects.

"Transfer Effect" controls the whole colony
Termites are social insects who live in large, underground colonies. They feed each other primarily by passing food from mouth to mouth. They groom each other. They contact each other as they forage for food.

And Termidor takes advantage of this social behavior.

As well as eating Termidor, a termite will also unknowingly pick it up and carry it back to the colony on its body. Thus, every other termite it contacts, feeds or grooms will itself become a carrier, contacting and infecting others.

But because the fipronil in Termidor is slow-acting and allows the termite to continue its normal routine, it remains active long enough to transfer the termiticide to a large number of other termites in the colony before dying itself.

This combination of ingestion, contact, and "transfer effect" (which is unique, and puts Termidor in a category by itself) routinely provides 100% termite control. No exceptions.

How the "Transfer Effect" works
Once a termite has ingested or contacted Termidor treated material with its body, it becomes a "carrier." Every other termite it contacts will be infected...

...which in turn infects every other termite it contacts. But Termidor works slowly, letting termites contact many others before dying themselves. 

And although the Termidor effect on individual termites is intentionally slow, the overall colony management is fast: significantly faster than bait systems
