Termidor FAQ

Is Termidor Safe?

Termidor is effective at very low application rates. Typically, when your pest management professional applies Termidor the active ingredient fipronil will be just 0.06%. That’s a lot lower than old-fashioned termiticides and less than most insecticides. Since 1995, fipronil has been used globally for flea and tick control on millions of cats and dogs. Fipronil is also used around the world to protect food supplies. And since Termidor bonds to the soil, there’s no leaching through rainfall or irrigation.

What does this all mean? Just that we have gone to great lengths to create a termite control product that is responsible, as well as 100% effective. Termidor is fully approved by the EPA, as well as by other government authorities around the world. It can only be applied by a specially trained Termidor-certified professional.

What does this all mean?

At every single application rate and at every last location, Termidor proved 100% effective. No exceptions. No excuses. Equally stringent Japanese research 7-year tests involved the formidable Formosan termite. Didn’t make any difference. Termidor again proved 100% effective. There were no exceptions, and among the termites, no survivors.

Does it smell?

No. Termidor has virtually no odor (which means neither you nor your family will notice anything). Since it’s applied with water, there’s also no solvent smell.
