Termites. It’s a word that no homeowner wants to hear, but unfortunately, it does happen, especially in central Florida. When these pests decide to make your home their home, the resulting damage can range from minor to significant, depending on how long the bugs have been feasting on your property. Fortunately, there are a few options available to homeowners to rid themselves of these pests, and one of the most effective is Termidor.
What is Termidor?
Termidor is a professional-grade insecticide that specifically targets termites. Termidor is liquid-based, so it begins to take effect immediately. The liquid is odorless and tasteless to the termites, who have no idea when they come into contact with it. After being applied, there’s also no way for the bugs to avoid it, so it immediately begins to work its way around the colony.
How does it work?
Termidor works through process known as “transfer effect.” This means that once one termite comes into contact with the insecticide, it acts as a carrier and begins to transfer it immediately to the other bugs in the colony. Those bugs then become carriers themselves, infecting even more termites. Termites that ingest Termidor will die, but even dead, they can still act as carriers as the other termites move over them. Termidor also relies on a slow-acting release, so there is plenty of time for the termites to spread it throughout the entire colony, and most infestations are cleared up in three months or less.
How can I get Termidor at my house?
Termidor can only be applied by a certified exterminator. Slug-A-Bug professionals are licensed and certified, and they are trained extensively in termite treatments, including Termidor. If you have a termite problem at your property, don’t wait. Call immediately to find out more about Termidor before the termites can cause even more damage.
