We use Termidor – the most effective termite control product available

Termites pose a significant danger to structures and potential indirect health risks to humans. The primary danger lies in the extensive and costly structural damage they inflict on homes and properties, weakening wooden elements like beams, floors, and furniture, and potentially reducing property value. 

The process explained
Initial Inspection & Assessment


A thorough inspection of the property is conducted to identify signs of termite activity and conducive conditions. This includes examining both the interior and exterior of the home. The findings are reviewed with the homeowner to develop an action plan.

Liquid Termite Treatment with Termidor HE
  • Application: Termidor HE (High-Efficiency Termiticide) is injected into the soil around the home’s foundation. This creates a comprehensive treated zone around the perimeter of the structure.
  • Coverage: Termidor HE can also be applied to garages, sub-slabs, porches, and entire crawl spaces. Its formulation is designed to maximize penetration power, even in large or inaccessible areas.
  • Mechanism: Termidor HE is a non-repellent solution, meaning termites cannot detect it, allowing them to unknowingly contact and transfer the active ingredient throughout the colony.

Annual Warranty Inspection

Regular annual inspections are conducted, including checking the crawl space, interior slab areas, perimeter of the home, and bait stations, to ensure continued protection and address any new activity.

This combined approach provides both an immediate protective barrier and a long-term colony elimination strategy, offering robust and lasting protection against subterranean termites.

  • Strategic Placement: Trelona ATBS bait stations are strategically installed around the perimeter of the home, typically about 15 to 20 feet apart. These stations are placed in landscape beds or into the ground.
  • Termite Discovery and Feeding: When tunneling in search of food, termites encounter the Trelona ATBS bait stations. They feed on the bait, which contains Novaluron, an active ingredient that disrupts their molting process.
  • Colony Elimination: Termites that have fed on the bait leave a pheromone trail, recruiting more termites from the colony to the bait stations. As more termites feed on the bait, the active ingredient is spread throughout the colony, leading to its eventual elimination. Trelona ATBS stations have been shown to be found faster by termites compared to leading competitors, leading to quicker colony elimination.
  • Ongoing Monitoring and Replenishment: The Trelona ATBS stations are designed for year-round protection. A pest management professional will inspect the stations annually and replenish the cartridges quarterly as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Termidor termiticide/insecticide is a professional termite defense product effective on native subterranean termites, Formosan termites, Asian termites, and drywood termites. It utilizes nonrepellent, or “undetectable,” technology that termites cannot smell, taste, or avoid. Instead, they contact, ingest, and share Termidor termiticide/insecticide, completely unaware that doing so will inevitably kill them.

Think again. Termites damage approximately 600,000 homes in the US each year. Termites can be found in every state except Alaska, meaning termite infestation poses a constant threat to your home. Despite the staggering property damage experienced annually in the U.S. alone, termite damage is not covered by most homeowners’ insurance policies. Fortunately, Termidor termiticide/insecticide provides the long-term protection your home needs. 

Termidor termiticide/insecticide kills termites by both ingestion and contact and through the genuine Transfer Effect where a lethal dose can reach individuals inside their colony. Whenever a termite ingests or touches Termidor termiticide/insecticide, it can become a “carrier” that transmits the active ingredient within the colony, producing devastating results. Termidor termiticide/insecticide is also effective at preventing future infestations and damage to your home.

Termidor termiticide/insecticide is formulated with the same active ingredient as the #1 veterinarian-recommended flea and tick protection for dogs and cats. But there’s much more to a responsible pest control product than its active ingredient. That’s why uncompromising standards are maintained in terms of Termidor termiticide/insecticide formulation, and the methods used to apply it.

Applied with precision using time-tested application methods at very low rates, Termidor termiticide/insecticide binds tightly to the soil. This maintains the protective treatment zone after rainfall, flooding, or regular landscape irrigation, minimizing the chance of leaching into the soil and off-target site movement.

Termidor termiticide/insecticide is virtually odor-free and won’t cause any disruption to your family’s normal routines. Termidor termiticide/insecticide is not a petroleum-based material and will not cause harm to plants adjacent to the areas of application.

When your home is treated by a Termidor pest professional, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your home is guarded by a Termidor Treatment Zone. With more than 10 million homes treated, Termidor termiticide/insecticide has proven consistently effective at eliminating termites in structures and preventing future infestations from causing devastating damage.

Always remember to have your pest management professional conduct a thorough annual inspection to keep your home protected.
