Termidor controls subterranean termites, including Formosan termites, which are the most destructive species in the United States. Formosan termites account for 80 percent of the $2.5 billion in annual destruction and control of termites in homes and buildings. Termidor has been used on more than 1 Million homes nationwide with unprecedented success.

Once the Hex-Pro System is installed, it can take from a few weeks to a few months for termites to enter the Hex-Pro termite stations, depending on time of year, geography, termite pressure and termite species. Once the termites enter the bait cartridges and begin feeding on Shatter termite bait, the process of termite control can begin. Colonies may begin to decline as quickly as four weeks after feeding on Shatter termite bait. See similar questions...

Termites feed each other primarily by passing food from mouth to mouth. They groom each other. They contact each other as they forage for food. Termidor takes advantage of these social behaviors. Termidor kills termites through ingestion, contact, and through “The Transfer Effect™.” The active ingredient in Termidor (fipronil) is slow acting and allows the termite to continue its normal routine.

Termidor remains the leading liquid termiticide by providing 100 percent control of termites within three months or less. See similar questions...

Soak calotropis leaves in water stored in an earthen pot, for three weeks and use the decoction for termite control. In worst case apply chloropyriphos 20% EC @ 400 ml/acre. Spot application in field can minimize the cost of spraying. See similar questions...

Barriers - A mechanical barrier might be metal flashing, concrete, or another material placed in the path of the termites. The purpose of the barrier is the exclude the insects. Since termites are known to be persistent, mechanical barriers don't necessarily provide long term control. Some barriers installed prior to construction (such as Termi-Mesh and special sand barriers) can provide excellent long term control, but they can't be installed once the building has been built.

When an infestation of drywood termites is discovered it is necessary to exterminate the colony to get control. This may be accomplished by one or more of the following methods: See similar questions...

There are generally two types of termite treatments available to you. The first is the traditional liquid barrier treatment. This is applied around the exterior of your home against the foundation. This type of treatment may require some treatment holes to be drilled in concrete slabs attached to the home. The second type is a termite baiting system. This is done by installing bait stations around the home. These stations are installed about 6-8 Ft. apart & about 2 Ft. from foundation. See similar questions...

Only licensed PMPs who are trained as a Termidor-certified professional can apply Termidor to a home. Termidor is a liquid that is applied after it is diluted and mixed with water. The PMP will apply Termidor along the foundation walls of the home to create a continuous treatment zone. The application method is called trenching and rodding, and may sometimes require drilling holes into the concrete foundation of the home for maximum protection. See similar questions...

The comprehensive Kaleidescape Control System Protocol enables users to navigate their movie and music libraries using a range of interactive touch panels, touch pads and keypads. Kaleidescape supports a wide variety of infrared remote control devices. The Kaleidescape System can also be controlled from a Java-enabled web browser, allowing almost any computer to control any Kaleidescape Player. See similar questions...

For starters, Termidor is one of the most thoroughly reviewed termiticides in history ? a fact that should provide an unprecedented level of confidence to homeowners. Termidor is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency and can only be applied by a PMP who has been trained in correct application methods. Termidor is effective at considerably low application rates. Most PMPs will apply the product so that the fipronil content is approximately 0. See similar questions...

Yes, a PMP may choose to treat most any type of structure that is at risk for termite damage. These structures may include residential homes, churches, office buildings and schools. See similar questions...

Termidor remains the leading liquid termiticide by providing 100 percent control within three months or less. No other termite-control product can provide this type of assurance. Termidor works faster than termite baiting systems, which typically take six to 18 months to control termites. Termidor's active ingredient, fipronil, works differently to control termite infestation. See similar questions...

This is the good news about termite control today. Modern chemistry has provided our industry with products to control subterranean termites that are a quantum leap ahead of the materials commonly used just 10 or 20 years ago. These products have extremely low odor (or no odor at all in some cases). The active ingredient in Termidor is used in some flea control products that are applied directly to the pet's skin! And, at Morse Termite Control, Inc. See similar questions...

Once a colony is established, termites are a year-round problem. However, there is an increase in colony expansion activity during warm weather. See similar questions...

ShatterT termite bait used in the Hex-Pro System is effective against all economically important subterranean (not drywood) termite species in the continental United States and Hawaii. It does the job in varying soil, climate and geographic conditions. See similar questions...

No. Although ants are predatory on termites, under normal conditions they do not share the same environment . Infestations could occur simultaneously with both insects never meeting. See similar questions...

The past couple of years have seen the improvement of birth control options. There are new, lower dose pills with less side effects than just a few years ago. There is also the birth control shot (Depo-Provera) that you get at the office every 3 months. No appointment is required for each shot. It has only a 1% failure rate. There is also the birth control patch. It is a patch that goes on the skin once a week. It's side effects are similar to the pill. See similar questions...
