Termidore Termiticide Barrier
Tests have shown Termidore and Sure Thing Pest Control's unique methods of application to be 100% effective against subterranean termites, even in the most challenging situations. It will completely eliminate your termites within 3 months of application. No exceptions. No excuses.
Termidore is a non-repellent
If a termiticide is non-repellent, that means the termites can't see it, smell it, or feel it. In fact, they don't know it's there at all. As a result, they'll continue to forage in treated areas. That might alarm you, but it's a good thing. Termites that are active in areas that have been treated with Termidore are helping to spread Termidore to more termites; they are, in fact, helping the termiticide do its job. Rest assured that in a short time all the termites-those you see and those you don't-will be controlled.
Remember, Termidore kills in two ways
First, Termidore kills termites when they eat it (and since they don't know it's there, they readily ingest it along with the wood fiber and other material they typically eat). Second, Termidore kills termites that simply come into contact with it. So, even if your termites are not feeding, Termidore will kill them.
Termites that come into contact with Termidore will also carry it on their bodies. As a result, every other termite they contact, feed, or groom will also be exposed to Termidore. All these termites will in turn transfer the termiticide to still more termites. This will go on for several days, allowing Termidore to be spread throughout the entire colony. This unique mode of action is known as the "Transfer Effect".
The active ingredient in Termidore, fipronil, is slow acting. That's a very good thing for you, and a very bad thing for the Eastern Sub termite colony. Why? Because Termidore remains active long enough for one termite to transfer the termiticide to a large number of other termites in the colony before dying itself. And although Termidore's effect on individual termites is intentionally slow, the overall impact on the colony is fast: it can be 2-6 times faster than bait systems.
What to expect after application
Certainly, every home is different, so the specifics of your Termidore treatment and results will depend on your home's age, configuration, construction and level of infestation. Your Sure Thing Pest Control Certified Professional will explain the best procedure for your situation. The entire application program is typically complete in a day or less; however, you may see some evidence of termite activity for several days afterward. That's okay. Rest assured that Sure Thing Pest Control and Termidore are working, and its unique ingestion, contact, and "Transfer Effect" will eliminate termites from your home. Remember, responsible termite control demands periodic inspections by a licensed Sure Thing professional.
