LEARN
TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT.
Your home is likely
to be the most expensive purchase you'll ever make. Of course,
the destruction brought on by termites can ruin your investment.
That's why you need to take steps to prevent it from happening.
A good start is to read this pictorial guide.
Here, you'll discover
the major differences between Termidor® liquid
termiticide and bait/monitoring systems. You'll learn about
the "Transfer Effect ™", what "recruiting"
means, and the results you can expect to see from using different
methods of controlling termites.
The "Transfer Effect"
controls the whole colony in three months or less.
Termites feed each
other primarily by passing food from mouth to mouth. They
groom each other. They contact each other as they forage for
food. Termidor takes advantage of these social behaviors.
As well as eating
Termidor, a termite will also unknowingly pick it up and carry
it back to the colony on its body. So every termite it contacts,
feeds, or grooms will itself become a carrier, contacting
and "infecting" others.
But because the active
ingredient in Termidor is slow acting, and allows the termite
to continue its normal routine, it remains active long enough
to transfer the Termidor to a large number of other termites
in the colony before dying itself.
This combination of
ingestion, contact, and the "Transfer Effect" results
in unparalleled efficacy. Eight-plus years of test data show
Termidor provides 100% control. And Termidor delivers results
in 3 months or less. That's 2 to 6 times faster than a bait/monitoring
system.
RECRUITING CAN TAKE
YEARS TO CONTROL A COLONY.
Many termite bait/monitoring
systems work by recruitment, which means termites eat the
bait and return to the colony to recruit others to eat the
bait. However, this process cannot begin until activity is
identified in a monitoring station. Bait/ monitoring systems
can take months to years to control a colony. Termidor provides
100% control in three months or less. To learn more about
how Termidor compares to bait/monitoring systems - some of
which use recruitment to control termites - consult the easy-to-follow
pictorial guide below.
Here are some additional
facts you'll find interesting:
| • |
Termidor does not require
any special new equipment for application. It uses an
industry standard technique that is widely accepted. |
| • |
100 gallons of diluted
Termidor solution contains only 8.4 ounces of active ingredient.* |
| • |
Termidor isn't affected
by debris, dryness, insects, or fungal decay. |
| • |
The odds of termites
foraging or tunneling through a Termidor-treated zone
are much greater than running into a bait/monitoring station. |
| • |
Termidor is effective
throughout all of the U.S. and abroad, with all types
of soil, in all kinds of climates, and on many species
of termites. |
