What is a local treatment?
Local treatment involves the targeted application of termiticide under pressure to effectively eliminate a specific colony of Drywood Termites. By injecting the termiticide directly into the affected area, we can specifically address and eradicate the infestation at its source.
The effectiveness of this treatment method has gained significant traction due to its proven track record of achieving 100% success rates, surpassing other local treatment techniques.
The state of California commissioned separate studies conducted by UC Davis and UC Berkeley to evaluate various insecticides used in local treatments. Remarkably, Termidor, with its transfer effect (see below for details), emerged as the sole insecticide that achieved 100% kill rates in both studies. This recognition from reputable institutions further solidifies the effectiveness of Termidor in delivering exceptional results for local termite treatments.
Termidor possesses a remarkable characteristic: when a termite comes into contact with or consumes it, they become carriers of the termiticide. This means that the termite can transfer Termidor to other termites it interacts with. These newly exposed termites then become secondary carriers, spreading Termidor further as they continue their normal activities within the colony. This process continues, creating a spiraling effect of termite-to-termite transfer within the population.
The key advantage of Termidor is its slow-acting nature. This gradual action provides sufficient time for individual termites to pass on the termiticide to other members of the colony. This unique phenomenon, known as the "Transfer Effect," yields devastating results for the termite population and maximizes the protective effect on your structure. With the Transfer Effect in place, Termidor effectively disrupts and controls termite colonies, providing long-lasting defense against infestations.
