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.
