Termidor HE Residual Termiticide is designed to effectively control subterranean termites by leveraging its non-repellent properties and advanced formulation. Here’s a step-by-step look at how it works:
-
Application: Termidor HE is applied to the soil around the perimeter of a structure or in areas where termite activity is suspected. It can be used in trenches, drill holes, or through reticulation systems.
-
Termite Encounter: Termites foraging for food come into contact with the treated soil. Since Termidor HE is non-repellent, termites do not detect its presence and continue to move through the treated area.
-
Fipronil Uptake: As termites pass through the treated soil, they pick up a lethal dose of Fipronil, the active ingredient in Termidor HE. This occurs through direct contact with the treated soil particles.
-
Termidor Transfer Effect: Before dying, these termites return to their colony, where they transfer the Fipronil to other termites through social interactions like grooming and feeding. This process ensures that the active ingredient is spread throughout the colony.
-
Colony Elimination: Over time, the transferred Fipronil kills the termites in the colony, effectively eliminating the termite threat. This process can take several weeks to complete, depending on the size of the colony and environmental factors.
