Description
Termidor HE Residual Termiticide
Active Ingredient: Fipronil @ 96g/L
Termidor HE Residual Termiticide is for the protection of structures from subterranean termite damage and for the control of subterranean termites around domestic and commercial structures. Termidor HE Residual Termiticide is a highly efficient new formulation that makes it faster and easier to provide homes and other buildings with the best available in-ground protection against termites. Its advanced formulation, using the unique BASF-patented Advanced Polymer TechnologyTM, enhances the active ingredient’s movement in the soil to create a stronger, more stable and uniform protection zone.
Every Termidor HE Residual Termiticide treatment is protected by the reliability and strength of the original Termidor active ingredient, Fipronil. It is non-repellent and undetectable to termites and is carried back to the nest by foraging termites who share it throughout the colony to create the powerful Termidor Transfer Effect.
Where can Termidor HE Residual Termiticide be used?
- Pre-Construction: Chemical soil-treated zones under and around new buildings and structures.
- Post-Construction: Chemical soil-treated zones under and around existing buildings and structures.
- Pre & Post-Construction High-Pressure Treatments: Chemical soil treated zones around existing buildings and structures.
- Reticulation Systems
- Protection of poles and fence posts
- Termite nests (trees, stumps, posts, power or utility poles, mounds)
- Cavity, nest & active termite treatments (e.g. active workings in timber in-service, infested wall cavities, voids under concrete)
Chemical treatment for termite control around existing buildings should be considered part of an integrated approach to reduce the risk of termite attack. It should be conducted by Licensed Pest Control Operators. The steps below best describe the procedure for optimum termite management:
- The building owner should try to minimise water entering under and around the building and improve drainage to reduce moisture accumulating in these areas.
- Ventilation of sub-floor areas should also be optimised to reduce moisture accumulation.
- The area under the floor should be kept free from debris-timber such as off-cuts of wood or firewood.
- Treat with a residual chemical zone treatment such as Termidor Residual Termiticide and Insecticide or Termidor HE Residual Termiticide in compliance with AS3660.2.
- Regular inspections should be carried out (at least annually as recommended by AS3660 Series).
- If any additional subsequent building or landscaping work causes disruption to the chemical soil treated zone it must be restored to maintain protection.
What is the period of protection from Termidor HE Residual Termiticide?
Data currently available indicates that Termidor He, when applied as a soil treatment around or under a building or structure in accordance with this label, will be effective against subterranean termites for a minimum period of (8) eight years. Delayed mortality effects may be observed, meaning termites may live and continue to be active for several weeks after penetrating the treated zone. To re-establish the treated zone after the 8-year Period of Protection, re-application at full rates is required. The actual protection period will also be affected by factors such as termite pressure, climatic and soil conditions and subsequent soil disturbance.
As with all chemical termiticides, regular inspections (at least annually) by a competent Licensed Pest Control Operator are recommended as bridging and breaching of treated zones can occur. The need for retreatment should be determined as a result of these inspections.
The general public can purchase Termidor HE Residual Termiticide, but it should only be used by licensed pest control operators in accordance with Australian Standards.
