Termidor Ant Control
Termidor® has delivered unparalleled termite control since it was first introduced into Australia.
The key reasons for this success are that Termidor is non repellent plus it has the unique ‘Transfer Effect™’.
These key attributes make Termidor the ultimate ant control agent. As ants are social insects living
together in large colonies, feeding and grooming each other, it makes perfect sense to bring the
power of Termidor to help in the battle against one of the hardest to control pests.
Termidor is non-repellent, which means the ants never know it’s there, and cannot react to it or avoid it. Ants on their
routine travels to and from your home, can pick up Termidor and spread it to other ants throughout their colony.
Termidor utilises a unique process called the Transfer Effect™ to affect entire populations of
ants, even if many of them never make direct contact with a Termidor treated area.
When ants contact Termidor they carry it on their bodies and pass it on to any ants they subsequently come into
contact with. Those ants pass it on to more ants, who continue the process of transferring Termidor
throughout the ants’ nest.
