Termex is a specialized insecticide designed specifically for termite control.1 It contains Imidacloprid as its active ingredient, a neonicotinoid insecticide known for its effectiveness against a wide range of soil-dwelling pests.2
Key Features and Benefits:
Targeted Action: Highly effective against termites in both pre- and post-construction settings.3
Non-repellent: Termites cannot detect Termex, so they readily pass through the treated zone and are exposed to the insecticide.4
Systemic and Contact Action: Works both through contact and by being absorbed by termites, ensuring effective control.5
Lateral Soil Movement: Spreads evenly through the soil, creating a continuous "killing field" that eliminates termites.6
Long-lasting Protection: Offers long-term control of termites, reducing the need for frequent re-treatment.7
Low Toxicity: Safe for humans and pets when used according to instructions.8
Environmentally Friendly: Water-based formulation with no volatile solvents, minimizing environmental impact.9
Recommended Uses:
Pre-construction termite treatment: Applied to the soil before construction to prevent termite infestation.10
Post-construction termite treatment: Used to eliminate existing termite infestations in buildings and structures.11
Application:
Soil treatment: Applied as a liquid solution to the soil around the foundation of buildings or in areas where termites are active.12
Wood treatment: Can also be used to treat wood structures to prevent termite damage.
Follow the recommended dosage and application instructions on the product label.
Mode of Action:
Termex works by disrupting the nervous system of termites.13 Imidacloprid binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nerve cells, causing overstimulation and ultimately leading to paralysis and death.14
Safety Precautions:
Wear appropriate protective clothing when handling and applying the product.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Do not inhale the spray mist.
Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.15
