How does a pest control professional apply Termidor to a home?

What makes Termidor different from other termite control options, such as bait/monitoring systems?
Termidor utilizes a unique action known as the "Transfer Effect™" to effectively control termite colonies up to six times faster than bait/monitoring systems. Termidor does not repel termites - termites can't smell, see or feel the insecticide, so they crawl freely through treated areas. When a termite eats or even comes in contact with the insecticide, it unknowingly transfers Termidor back to the colony on its body. Every termite it contacts will transfer Termidor's active ingredient, fipronil, to other termites. Termidor is the only product that will consistently control 100% of termites within three months or less - up to six times faster than bait/monitoring systems.

What will a Termidor treatment cost?
The cost of a Termidor treatment varies and largely depends on the agreement a homeowner has with his/her local pest control company. In the long run, a Termidor treatment plan generally will cost less than a termite bait/monitoring system and will provide more effective, longer lasting control.

Is Termidor safe for use around children and pets?
Termidor is one of the most thoroughly reviewed termite insecticides in history. Termidor is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency and can only be applied by a pest control professional who has been trained in correct application methods. Termidor is effective at considerably low application rates. Most pest control professionals apply Termidor at low rates - only 8.4 oz. in 100 gallons - much lower than earlier liquid termite applications.
Termidor bonds to the soil in which it is applied, so homeowners need not worry about soil movement. In addition, fipronil has been used extensively on food crops around the world and as the leading product for flea and tick control on dogs and cats for since 1993.
