Termidor Treatment for Termites
Termidor is a non-repellent liquid chemical applied into the soil around the external footings of your home to protect it from termites (white ants). It is the dominate liquid termidicide being used here in Brisbane. There are many reasons Termidor has gain such popular acceptance by homeowners as their “first choice” chemical in the fight against termites.
Benefits of the transfer chemical – Termidor
- The Transfer affect – It doesn’t just stop them, it also helps to eradicate the nests around your home. Termites don’t detect Termidor in the soil. Termites come in contact with it as soon as they enter the treat zone and start to died straight away. Some, before they die, will take it back to their nest, where it is readily passed through the colony.
- It is a very safe chemical to have around your home. The active ingredient – Fipronil (chemical family of phenylpyrazole) isn’t even rated as a dangerous chemical in Australia. In fact, it is the same active ingredient used in Frontline, which is applied “neat” onto your pets’ skin for flea and tick control.
- Last for 8 years. The manufacturer, BASF, has stated that Termidor will be effective for 8 years. They have performed independent field tests in Australian conditions, against Australian termites, with outstanding results. Interesting, in the USA, Termidor is rated for 10 years.

If you have just found live termites in your house, in a tree stump, or in a retaining wall, and there are still good numbers of the critters, then we have a chance to apply the initial treatment. The purpose of this treatment is to stop them clewing your house and if possible to eradicate the termite colony. We need to do this before installing a the Termidor treatment around your home home.
Termidor Dust
Termidor dust is a new dusting formulation. It is basically the Termidor compound in a dust form. Once we have established the extent of the infestation we will drill small holes into the termite workings and gently apply it by hand puffing the Termidor dust. Once it has been applied into their workings, the termites carry the dust particles on their bodies and eventually back to the nest (where ever that may be). Being a very social and efficient insect it doesn’t take long for the active ingredient “fipronil” to be transferred throughout the colony.
The wonderful thing about Termidor dust is that it’s very safe to apply into domestic environments and has been proven to take as little as 2 to 4 weeks to eradicate a colony. We are finding that Termidor dust is very successful on the two prevalent types of termites in Brisbane.
