Considering a Sydney Termidor Treatment?

3 Reasons Why You Should Protect Your Home in Sydney With This Termite Control Product

Did you ever seriously think about trying to protect your home with Termidor? Or were you tossing up whether to get a cheaper or safer termite solution? Perhaps with old style repellent termiticides or baits?

When you understand more about it, most of those hindrances to action tend to go away. Let’s have a look at the 3 main reasons that people decide to use Termidor.

Reason Number 1,”It’s got a great track record”
Since it was released in Australia in 2002, Termidor has been scrutinised and examined under all Australian environments. Twenty-two termite affected homes in 5 states used an experimental use permit where the results were simply outstanding. In nine weeks every states homes had achieved a 100% success rate. Termite activity was eliminated within a 4.3 week’s average*

It’s protected over 2.6 million homes in the US alone. O.K., I understand you when you object that it’s expensive & I agree with you.

That is a good point, however you should consider how much your home is worth, and how much damage can termite do to your property over a short period of time.

Second, “Termidor has minimal impact on the environment”
When applied according to the label directions, Termidor has very little impact on the environment. It is applied at some of the lowest doses of any of the termiticides available today, and the active ingredient has been registered in household pet products in Australia since 1996.

Plus, Termidor has been assessed by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, and is fully approved for use in domestic and commercial situations.

Also as Termidor is water soluble & has no detectable smell, and is cannot hurt and has no effect on soil micro-organisms, worms or plants.

Third and last, “It has a proven record of fast elimination and highly effective, long-term residual termite control”. This will mean that damage to your home will stop sooner, and be protected over a longer period of time.

Again, you win!

Think about these reasons and how they apply to your situation. They are strong enough reasons to convince many to get a Termidor treatment. Do they convince you?

Seriously now, just think about it for a moment. Don’t those reasons apply to you? Perhaps you really should think of all Termidor’s advantages

Example of how Termidor stays effective in the soil after severe flooding

While field trials were being conducted by BASF experts in Australia, a Townsville termite control site was flooded completely. This ended up completely submerging the Termidor treated areas for weeks extending into months. 

From the data presented By BASF in the graph below it may be seen that the amount of Termidor crystals present in the soil had remained consistent.

Dear Homeowner,
Australia is a land of many contrasts. After years of crippling droughts and water shortage
issues, we have recently experienced a complete turnaround in weather conditions, culminating in the extreme flooding events, affecting vast areas of Victoria and New South Wales and parts of South Australia and Tasmania.

As a consequence of these flooding events the integrity of your previous termite treatment zone may have been compromised. Whilst Termidor® is proven to be able to withstand extreme weather conditions, during a major flood event, treated soil may have been physically removed or, conversely untreated soil may have been deposited over a previously treated zone.

Additionally, clean-up or repair work on buildings or landscaping may have likewise disturbed any previous treatment.

BASF strongly recommends that if you have suffered from the recent extreme weather
events, you contact your Accredited Termidor Applicator (ATA) and arrange an inspection
as soon as possible.

For peace of mind, your ATA can assess what potential damage has been done to your termite treated zone and provide a written report on the level of risk from termite attack, as well as a follow-up treatment proposal if required.

To further assist, BASF has produced a special Flood Technical Note that addresses any questions you may have over the effect of the recent floods on your termite treatment.

Please find a copy attached to this letter and more information is available on the Termidor
website: www.termidor.com.au.

BASF encourages you to contact your local Accredited Termidor Applicator (ATA) who will be able to assist you with any query you may have.

The BASF Team
