Is Termidor the best treatment for termites?
There is a good chance that you have heard about the revolutionary non-repellent transfer product Termidor, which has been dominating the market in Australia. It was a game changer when BASF introduced it in Australia 20 years ago.
Since 2004, Conquer Termites has been an accredited applicator!
Why is Termidor so good for treating termites?
At Conquer Termites, we take a very pragmatic approach to the chemicals we select and recommend to our customers. Protecting homes from foraging termites in South East Queensland requires an effective and long-lasting product. Mean to say, Conquer’s reputation relies on it.
The good things about Termidor
- The active ingredient, Fipronil, is a safe chemical for your family and pets. Fipronil is used in the Frontline product for your dog & cats. You actually apply it ’neat’ to the skin of your pet.
- Last up to eight years. The manufacturer BASF has done extensive field tests to prove that when applied right, it will last 8 years protecting your home.
- As a non-repellent product, it has a transfer effect on foraging termites. If a good number of termites come in contact with the treated zone, they will unknowingly take it back to the nest and start to kill the colony.
- The new formulation in Termidor HE disperses deeper and more evenly. Because of this, the holes can be 450 mm apart when drilling and injecting. Great for those tiled areas.
- Termidor bonds permanently to soil particles within 12 hours. This means it won’t leach away when flooded or in heavy rain.
- As an accredited Applicator, Conquer Termites can offer you the BASF $2 Million Assurance Warranty.
How does Termidor work?
Termidor is a non-repellent “transfer poison”. It is undetectable to termites once it has been applied to the soil. Termites will blindly enter the treated zone, where the Termidor modules bind to their cuticle. Once this has occurred, it is only time before they die. And time is not on their side.
Termidor’s unique Transfer Effect™ ensures that the Termidor is passed from one termite to the next, and as a result, even termites that have not directly come into contact with the treated soil can pick up a lethal dose.
Termidor HE is an advanced formulation of the same extremely powerful active ingredient that has made the original Termidor products the most trusted and effective termite treatments. Termidor HE spreads much further through the soil than older treatments to create a more even a, creating a more even and effective protective zone.
Termidor HE binds strongly to organic matter in the soil and, as long as the soil isn’t disturbed, stays in place for years. So it’s not just superior protection at the start. It goes on providing the highest level of protection year after year.
Can I buy Termidor?
Termidor can only be provided by an Accredited Termidor® Applicator, like Conquer Termites.
Be aware of cheaper generic fipronil brands
Many termite companies in Brisbane offer termite barriers using a cheaper and inferior generic product with Fipronil as an active. The formulations aren’t as refined and sophisticated as the BASF Termidor HE.
The person selling you this cheaper option will probably say something like this “Oh, it’s just as good as Termidor, just the same”. They’re not a chemist, but they are trying to sell you something on price, not quality.
