To control ants, it’s important to target them where they live.
Chances are, ants, and some of the other pests in your home, actually live in nests outside. The key to controlling ants is to target them where they live—which is exactly what Termidor does. By applying Termidor to the outside exterior foundation walls of your house, your pest professional creates a treated area of protection.
How Termidor controls ants
In the last decade, the professional pest control industry has been revolutionized by new control technologies, especially in the area of nonrepellents or “undetectable” liquid treatments. Unlike older insecticides, nonrepellents can’t be smelled, tasted, or even felt by pests. So they crawl through the treated area, unaware that ingesting treated materials or merely contacting the insecticide will cause them to die.
Termidor is unique because it even controls ants that never make direct contact with its active ingredient. They need only make contact with other ants that have been exposed to Termidor. This “Transfer Effect” means you’ll see Termidor affecting ants in one to three days and most species will be controlled within the first week following the treatment.
