Protect your home with Australia’s leading termiticide
Termites are a serious problem here in Australia and you need to protect the biggest investment you may ever make…..your house. Termite damage is estimated to cost around $1 billion annually in Australia which insurance does not cover.
Termites may already be in your home, in which case you have to act now before they cause severe structural damage that’s very expensive to repair. There are quite a few cases where homeowners have had to walk away from their homes because termite damage has been so extensive.
Homeowners usually don’t know they’re there until substantial damage has been done. They eat anything made from wood inside your home and may even damage electrical wiring and plasterboard walls, just leaving a paper thin layer of paint. Unfortunately, by this time they are right through your home, no matter how your house is constructed.
Even steel-framed houses are not immune to termite attack. The termites can still get in and destroy wooden roof trusses, kitchens, furniture and wood trim such as architraves… in fact anything made of wood in the house.
Quite simply, termites come to your home looking for food. They get there by travelling through the ground from a nest that may be hundreds of metres away, and then they build mud tunnels into your house. They can squeeze through cracks the thickness of a piece of paper
Termidor® for Termite Control
Termidor for termite control is available in two formulations, Termidor Dust® and Termidor Residual®, the perfect combination for both inside and outside your home, to ensure complete termite nest elimination and full protection from future termite attack.

Termidor Residual Termiticide
Termidor is applied as a continuous chemical soil zone around and under the home. Some termiticides are repellent and rely on keepingtermites away from treated structures. While such products are toxic to termites, very few of the termites are actually killed before being repelled by the termiticide barrier. As a result, termites remain alive and actively seek gaps in the barrier in order to gain access to the building. They do this day after day, year after year until they find a way through.Termidor though is non-repellent to termites. This means that they cannot detect the product and will not avoid the treated area. As a result, termites continue to forage through the soil until they encounter Termidor and pick up a lethal dose.
Termidor Dust
Termidor Dust is the culmination of over 10 years research in Australia to find the perfect termite nest elimination product. Termidor Dust is applied by professional Pest Control Operators directly onto the termites, either inside your house or onto activity around the yard (trees, fences, etc).
Termidor Dust is also perfect for treating active termite bait stations. After treatment, the termites carry the dust particles on their bodies and eventually back to the nest (where ever that may be) via the unique Transfer Effect®. Extensive Australian research proves that it takes as little as two to four weeks for total termite elimination. This is much faster than expensive baiting systems and you will not require numerous visits from the Pest Control Operator to achieve success.
Transfer Effect
Thanks to Termidor’s unique Transfer Effect, termites don’t even need to ingest or contact Termidor in order to die from it. All they need to do is make contact with another termite that has already contacted or ingested Termidor. This is because termites that come into contact with Termidor collect it on their bodies.They then become carriers that spread Termidor to other termites and eventually back to the nest. Termites are social insects that live together in large colonies and feed and groom each other. The Transfer Effect makes most of this and it’s a key reason why no other termiticide performs as well as Termidor.

Termidor and the environment
When applied according to the label directions, the Termidor Inside-Out program has minimal impact on the environment. It is applied at some of the lowest doses of any of the termiticides available today, and the active ingredient has been registered in household pet products in Australia since 1996. Termidor has been assessed by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, and is fully approved for use in domestic and commercial situations. Termidor is water-based and has no odour, will not leach through soil and is not damaging to soil micro-organisms, earthworms and plants.
Summary
Termidor provides fast elimination and highly effective, long-term residual termite control.
With a unique mode of action, Termidor will not only eliminate the current activity (including the nest) but will provide proven protection against termiteentry and will continue to control termites for at least eight years. When compared with other termiticides, Termidor has consistently provided termite control over a significantly longer period.Termidor also controls termite populations more rapidly than baiting systems which rely on attracting termites to begin to work. Termidor can only be applied by a licensed pest control operator to ensure that the treatment is successful. For control of termites and peace of mind, insist on Termidor.
