Termidor

WHERE YOU LIVE, TERMITES ARE A FACT OF LIFE. NOW 100% CONTROL OF TERMITES IS A FACT OF LIFE, TOO.

INTRODUCING TERMIDOR

AMERICA'S FIRST AND ONLY 100% TERMITE CONTROL SOLUTION.

IT EVEN COMES WITH A 10-YEAR PLEDGE

OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, TERMIDOR HAS PASSED MORE TESTS THAN ANY OTHER TERMITICIDE IN HISTORY.

Right now, termites are on the attack. They could be next door. They could already be in your home. In fact, if you didn't think you had a termite problem, you wouldn't be reading this page. Where you live, termites are a threat you live with. Every single year, they inflict $2 billion in damage all across the country. When it's your property that's part of this statistic, that's when it really hits home.

Mind you, there are plenty of products that provide solutions, from instant fixes to slow-acting baits.

America's first 100% termite solution

Termidor is a new type of termite control that for over 10 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 10 years, it also gives you 100% peace of mind.

The most tested termite solution in history

Before Termidor was made available for American homeowners through Termidor-certified professional pest-management firms, it was subject to some of the toughest tests in history. For almost 6 years, gruelling USDA-Forest Service ground board and concrete slab trials in Florida, Arizona, Mississippi and South Carolina tested Termidor every which way. At every single application rate and at every last location, Termidor proved 100% effective. No exceptions. No excuses.

Equally stringent Japanese research 7 year tests involved the formidable Formosan termite. Didn't make any difference... Termidor again proved 100% effective. There were no exceptions, and among the termites, no survivors.

OK, but how about real trials in real homes? Since 1997, more than 100 single family dwellings and apartments from New York and Texas to Florida and Hawaii were treated with Termidor.

These homes varied widely in size, structure, climatic zone and soil type. The result? You guessed it. 100% control of termites was verified in every case, all within 3 months of application.

Finally, over the past 4 years more than 200,000 homes in France have been treated with Termidor. During this period there has been not a single failure or callback. Not one. Period.

What does all this data prove? Only that if you choose to have your home treated with Termidor, you're 100% likely to be 100% pleased with the results. No exceptions.

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. It also manages termite colonies in 3 months or less (that's significantly better than the best bait system). Here's why:

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 retreated.

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 when they ingest it (since they don't know it's there, they ingest it readily). Secondly, and unlike all 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.

Can be 2-6 times faster than a bait system

Termidor's unique 'transfer effect' manages termite colonies a lot faster than bait systems. Typically, a Termidor treatment will provide 100% control of termites in 3 months or less. Baits can take from many months to several years to control the colony.

And remember: termite bait is not added to a monitoring station until termite activity is actually observed at that station (even when the bait active ingredient is added it's often a slow-acting insect growth regulator).
As well as taking time, this also leaves the possibility of termite damage to the structure being baited, even though no termite activity is seen at the outlying stations.

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 significantly faster than bait systems.

IS IT SAFE?

DOES IT SMELL?

AND OTHER VITAL QUESTIONS

The Termidor Certified Professional

Is it safe?

Termidor is effective at very low application rates. Typically, when your pest management professional applies Termidor the active ingredient fipronil will be just 0.06%. That's a lot lower than old-fashioned termiticides and less than most insecticides. Since 1995, fipronil has been used globally for flea and tick control on millions of cats and dogs. Fipronil is also used around the world to protect food supplies. And since Termidor bonds to the soil, there's no leaching through rainfall or irrigation.

What does all this mean? Just that we have gone to great lengths to create a termite control product which is responsible, as well as 100% effective. Termidor is fully approved by the EPA, as well as other government authorities around the world. It can only be applied by a specially trained Termidor certified professional.

Does it smell?

No. Termidor has virtually no odor, which means neither you nor your family will notice anything. Since it's applied with water, there's also no solvent smell.

Who makes Termidor?

Aventis Environmental Science, the world's largest environmental science company. Aventis has developed a complete generation of effective, responsible pest control products for many different industries and applications.

How long does Termidor last?

We have 100% results after 10 straight years, and counting. With Termidor, termites are killed, dead. That's why there are no excuses. And a lot less waiting around.

Government and other tests in the US and abroad have shown that in almost 6 years there has been no break or reduction in Termidor's effectiveness. These continuously monitored tests have involved all kinds of soil, widely varying climatic conditions (from New York to Hawaii), and several different species of subterranean termites.

Bottom line, this means that you can count on at least 10 years' worth of 100% termite protection when you choose Termidor.

And unlike the bait system, Termidor gives you 100% protection from Day 1. There's no long waiting period where termites are hopefully attracted to the bait, and the building to be protected is left entirely defenseless.

Termidor is 100% effective against termites. No excuses. No exceptions.

It's been more exhaustively tested than any termiticide in history.

Termidor data proves 10 year, 100% effectiveness against termites.

Termidor's unique ingestion, contact, and 'transfer effect' manages colonies in 3 months or less.

Termidor can manage colonies 2-6 times faster than bait systems.

Termidor is a responsible, low-dose treatment, with no odor.

Only trained Termidor certified professionals can apply the product.

All About Termites
 

Termites are the most serious threat your home may face.
If you are troubled by termites, you've got company. Termites
are one of the most successful species in the animal kingdom.
They are at work in every part of the United States except Alaska,
and across 70 percent of the world. They cause up to $2-3 billion
worth of damage each year in the U.S. alone.

In any given year, termites damage more homes than fires. The cost of termite damage is about twice that of storm damage.

No matter how your home is constructed or where it's located, no matter whether it's old or new, it could be attacked and devastated - by termites.
