How Termidor Termiticide Works

The active ingredient in Termidor is fipronil and it works quite differently from other termiticide active ingredients. Most termiticides are repellents, which means they keep termites away from a treated area, rather than killing them. These repellent termiticides also kill termites. However, since the termites are repelled when they come in contact or just before actually contacting pyrethroid treated soil, the 'killing power' is less dramatic and if anyone took the time to count dead termites, less efficient. Termidor is non-repellent. Termites can't detect it. Since they don't know it's there, they forage freely in a treated area.

Like other leading liquid termiticides, Termidor is lethal to termites when they ingest it (which they do readily since they don't know it's there). But, unlike all other termiticides, Termidor is lethal by contact as well. Once a termite comes into contact with Termidor, they carry it back to the colony on their bodies. Other termites it contacts will itself become a carrier, contacting and infecting others. This is known as "The Transfer Effect".

Termidor - 100% Results After Six Years

With Termidor, termites are killed, dead. No excuses. Government and other tests in the US and abroad have shown that in 6 years there has been no break or reduction in Termidor's effectiveness.

Bottom line, you can count on at least 5 year's worth of 100% termite protection when you choose Termidor.

Termidor is a responsible, low dose treatment

Termidor is effective at very low application rates. The active ingredient fipronil will be just 0.06%. That's a lot lower than old-fashioned termiticides and less than most insecticides. Termidor also binds to the soil, so there's no leaching from rainfall or irrigation.
