Termidor A couple of
years ago a new product Termidor was introduced
to Stewarts. Stewarts embraced this new product and have found it to be one
of the most successful barrier chemicals around. Most
chemicals act as repellents. So the termites that come directly in contact
with the chemical die and other termites that have detected the chemical
just continue along the barrier until they locate a breach or gap in the
barrier. Once they have established a path into the building they can enter
undetected. Termidor on the other hand is non-repellent to termites. So the
termites exposed to lower concentrates of Termidor
don’t detect the chemical and will not try to avoid it. Therefore the
termites will continue to forage through the affected soul unaware that
they have been affected and that their days are numbered. If they make it
to the stronger applied chemical then they will die on contact. As termites
are social creatures and live in colonies, when an affected termites
returns to the colony they share the infection around, other termites then
become affected and are doomed. Through this unique “Transfer Effect” the
chemical can cause some of the nest to be killed off or in some cases the
entire nest. This process is aided by the fact that Termites may take weeks
to die depending upon the concentrate of Termidor
that the termites have been exposed to. When applied
the chemical moves through the soil away form the building and creates a
buffer in the soil that has a decreased concentration of chemical the
further it is from the building in the soil. Termidor is one of the most tested termite chemical on the market. It
has been tested in Termidor is a sage chemical once it has fried and bonded with the
soil. It has a very slight odour, and is water
based. It is essential that the chemical be applied at the correct rate to
have maximum impact on the termites. We as a
company advise that any pets and humans are away from the property for two
hours. This is a company recommendation beyond the chemical recommendation
and is applied to any chemical treatments that we carry out. Once the
chemical barrier is applied Stewarts recommend that a Visual Annual Termite
Inspection be carrier out at least every twelve months (as per Australian
Standards). This is to ensure that the chemical barrier has not been broken
down or been bridged, and to make any recommendation to prevent the barrier
being broken down or being bridged.
