Why Termidor®?

Termidor® is a brilliant new BASF product that has been used extensively in the USA and Europe with great success.  It is now available in Australia and we at Green Pest Control are one of the first Australian companies to add Termidor® to our range because we recognise the many features that lift this termiticide above the other termiticides currently available.  We now offer you a choice of termiticides with appropriate understandable advice for each situation and budget.

Our sister company Green Pest Control is an Accredited Termidor Applicator and you will find us listed on their site on this page: http://www.termidor.com.au

Please note that although we are listed on the Gold Coast we actually service all of SE QLD including Brisbane and the Sunshiine Coast.

Features and Benefits of Termidor®

• Acts on the termite's nervous system.

• Its speed of activity is dose dependent; the higher the dose the quicker it acts.

• It is active on termites through both contact as well as ingestion .

• Termidor® is non-repellent.  Termites will not avoid treated soil, and will consume substrates containing even very high concentrations of fipronil (the active ingredient in Termidor®).

• Fipronil is also capable of being transferred between active termites.

  • Studies using radioactive labeled fipronil have been able to trace the transfer of fipronil from both soil to termites and from termites to other termites .

  • Foraging termites pick up fipronil through ingestion and contact with the treated soil.

  • Contaminated termites return and contact other uncontaminated termites.

  • Fipronil is then transferred to the uncontaminated termites via contact, grooming, and exchange of food.

• A transfer affect takes place and termites die in large numbers.

• Fipronil is slow acting and allows for termites to spread it within the nest before they die.

• Fipronil is not hazardous to humans and other mammals but is highly effective against insects.

• When applied according to Australian Standards, Termidor® is 100% effective.

• Studies show Termidor® is still effective after 8 years and possibly longer.

• Termidor® strongly binds to soil particles and is resistant to leaching.

• Termidor® is not absorbed by plants.

• Even 1 part per million will control termites.

Drawbacks

Termidor® is slightly more expensive than other termiticides.  At Green Pest Control we believe in using the best and most appropriate products to service our client's needs. We believe the benefits of Termidor® over other brands of termiticide far outweigh the costs.

It's your home.  You'll want the best.  It's worth the extra price isn't it?
