Termidor Information
How Termidor® Protects Your Home from Costly Termite Damage
Your home is likely the most expensive investment you will ever make. Unfortunately, termites can cause serious structural damage long before any visible signs appear. Protecting that investment starts with understanding the most effective termite treatment options available.
- Termidor® is one of the most thoroughly tested termiticides in history
- Its unique ingestion, contact, and “Transfer Effect®” can eliminate termite colonies in as little as 3 months
- A responsible, low-dose, odorless treatment applied by licensed professionals
- Controls termite colonies 2 to 6 times faster than bait and monitoring systems
This pictorial guide explains the key differences between Termidor® liquid termite treatments and traditional bait or monitoring systems. You’ll learn how the “Transfer Effect®” works, what termite “recruiting” means, and what results homeowners in Tidewater can realistically expect from each method.
According to the manufacturer,
Termidor® HE by BASF
uses advanced high-efficiency technology that requires less water, fewer drill holes, and less soil disruption while delivering the same proven colony control trusted by professionals.
The Termidor® Transfer Effect® targets the entire termite colony.
Termites are social insects that constantly interact with one another. They feed each other mouth-to-mouth, groom one another, and make frequent contact while foraging for food. Termidor® takes advantage of these behaviors to spread throughout the colony.
As termites travel through treated areas, they unknowingly pick up Termidor® on their bodies and carry it back to the nest. Every termite they contact — through feeding, grooming, or movement — becomes a carrier, spreading the treatment further through the colony.
Because Termidor® is slow-acting, affected termites continue their normal activity long enough to transfer the product to a large number of nestmates before dying. This allows the treatment to reach deep into the colony rather than killing termites only at the point of contact.
This combination of ingestion, contact, and the Transfer Effect® delivers unmatched results. Extensive field testing shows Termidor® provides complete colony control, often in three months or less — significantly faster than bait or monitoring systems.
