Termidor residual termiticide is applied as a continuous chemical soil zone around and under the home. Some products are repellent and are applied as a barrier. Their job is to keep the termites away instead of killing them, but the problem is these: barriers have to be a hundred percent complete with absolutely no gaps, which is almost impossible to achieve. Termites will actively seek gaps in the barrier day after day year after year. Until they find a way through here’s, a perfect real-life example of how repellents can fail.
You can see here where a pest control company have drilled holes into the slab to insert the barrier chemicals. Now that’s the last hole before they left a gap when they came to the hot water system and started drilling again. On the other side, the termites sense, the gap and attracted by the moisture, came up through a small crack and entered the house. After building these tunnels, the tunnels are hidden behind a pipe and hard to see. There was significant damage to the house before the termites presence was detected.
Termidor is non repellent to termites. This means that they cannot detect the product and will not avoid the trail area. As a result, termites continue to fire through the soil until they encounter Termidor and pick up a lethal dose. This is what makes Termidor work better and faster. Termidor provides proven protection against termite entry and will continue to control termites for at least eight years.
About 12 months ago we had some renovations done on the house and the tradesmen found some termite damage. So it was important to me, as I have two small children, that we use, something that wasn’t going to be harmful to my kids and termit, always recommended Termidor begins to work immediately and there’s no waiting period. Getting your home treated with Termidor usually takes less than a day a licensed and certified pest control. Professional digs a trench around the foundations of your home. The trench is extended down the sides of the foundations and cleaned out.
Termidor is applied to the trench, and some of the soil is replaced into the trench, mortar Madore is applied and more soil is replaced. Finally, the trench is filled and the final application of Termidor is added, pools are drilled through slabs and parts or the concrete cut away to treat the ground under them. Pavers should be lifted, the soil treated and the pavers relate some soils such as heavy clay, should be removed and replaced with a sandy loam before treatment. Any responsible, termite treatment requires follow up by a pest, professional tradesmen like plumbers, electricians and even telephone technicians. Installing underground lines can open up access areas for termites tree roots, growing up to your foundations and new garden beds against the house can also provide access to hungry termites.
Your pest controller will check your home after twelve months to make sure all is still fine. We had ten months a few years ago we had a Termidor application done and the guy came out and explained everything and did a really great job in those five years later and there’s been absolutely no termite activity whatsoever. We’Re really happy Termidor has been exhaustively tested and fully approved in Australia, for use in domestic situations. Terminal has also been used in more than 2 million buildings in the USA. Plus Termidor has no odor, you won’t even know it’s there.
Termidor has been effective in field trials for over eight years and is still going strong if you’re not asking for Termidor you’re asking for trouble.
