Termidor® Termite Control
Effectiveness & Speed Termidor works up to 6 times faster than termite bait/monitoring systems. It has consistently shown exceptional results in more than 700,000 homes treated throughout the United States since its launch in March 2000. In over eight years of field trials with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Termidor has eliminated 100 percent of subterranean termites in all tests, in all geographic locations. No other product can make this claim. And Termidor is effective in any soil type or climate in the United States. How the "Transfer EffectTM" Works Once a termite has ingested or contacted Termidor-treated material with its body, it becomes a "carrier." Every termite it contacts will be infected and will in turn infect every termite it contacts. But Termidor works slowly, letting termites contact many others before dying themselves. Although the Termidor effect on individual termites is intentionally slow, the overall colony management is fast: up to 6 times faster than bait systems.
Termidor versus Bait/Monitoring Systems Termidor starts working immediately and eliminates termites up to six-times faster than bait/monitoring systems. Bait/monitoring systems can take up to years to control termite colonies. All the while, termites could be destroying a home.
Termidor is one of the most thoroughly reviewed and tested termite controls in history. It is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and was the first termite insecticide to meet the high standards of the new Food Quality Protection Act. Termidor's active ingredient, fipronil, has been used since 1993 to control fleas and ticks on household pets. Barnes will typically use .06 percent of fipronil, which is a significantly lower amount than many other termite control products. In fact, there are only 8.4 ounces of active ingredient used in 100 gallons of water to treat the average home with Termidor. Termidor binds tightly to the soil in which it is applied, so there is no need to worry about leaching through rainfall or irrigation. It remains fixed in the ground where it was applied. Residuals/Follow-ups Any responsible termite treatment demands periodic follow-up inspections by Barnes. After a Termidor treatment, Barnes will need to make periodic inspections to check for modifications, additions or alterations to home and landscaping that could cause a soil disruption after the original application.
