There is a war going on against termite infestations in this country as well as around the world.
The war is being fought against three main invaders in this country: Subterranean, dry wood, and Formosan termites.
Termidor termite treatment is one of the weapons in a vast arsenal which is directed toward subterranean pests.
A product of BASF based in Mount Olive, NJ, Termidor termite treatment is said to be the number one selling and used termiticide in the United States and is not being used in many countries around the world.
This product offers a two-fold approach to eradicating your home of infestations.
One, where your home has been invaded, the termiticide adheres to the body of workers which then transport the poison back to the colony for a total wipe out.
Secondly, the product sets up a barrier around your home which keeps these pesky insects from returning.
This latter quality is perhaps one of its biggest selling points as the weakness of most termite fighting products is that they do not prevent re-infestation.
The strategy employed by professional exterminators using the product is to drill holes through the foundation to the soil beneath it and then pump the termiticide into the holes.
This process is repeated until a protective seal has been placed around your home.
It may even be necessary to drill a few holes through floors if the presence of termites is noted there.
Again, keep in mind that what is being done is twofold: eradication and prevention.
The product is said to be safe for humans and pets so do not worry if you have one or both.
It is also said to be environmentally friendly and has undergone over eight years of testing by the US Forest Service.
