To purchase TERMIDOR click here Carpenter Ants, Argentine, Big Headed, Odorous House And Pavement Ant Suggestions. Just like termite applications, Termidor works as a non-repellent, infecting ants by either contact or ingestion. And because it's a non-repellent, Termidor won't trap ants within structures or prevent them from moving through the treated zone. Just one application of Termidor provides long residual control of certain ant species, including Carpenter, Argentine, Big Headed, Odorous House and Pavement ants. Like its use for termite control, Termidor uses the same low-dose formula that creates a 0.06 percent finished spray. As little as one gallon of finished product per structure will achieve maximum ant control. Field studies conducted by leading ant experts in the U.S. have repeatedly shown that a single Termidor application reduces ant foraging within a few days. No other single application of any product on the market provides such control. Below are some tips for controling Ants. No matter how your home is built, how old it is, or where it is located, it could be invaded by an army of ants. Foundation cracks, expansion joints, and tiny gaps around pipes are all ways that white-footed ants can enter your home. Ants are the *number one* nuisance pest in the U.S. They enter homes because that is where the food and water are. For effective white-footed ant control, we recommend that you follow several procedures. First, use our simple ant prevention tips to avoid having a problem in the first place and to lessen any existing infestation. Second, we recommend that you apply dusts in cracks and crevices to attack ants where they enter and move about the home. Third, we recommend Termidor, an insecticide, for an effective treatment outside. Ant Prevention Tips Get rid of ants and pests and keep them away by following these easy tips. Ants and cockroaches need food and water, and they need a way to gain access to your home. Since they can be very persistent, you need to be just as persistent. By taking some simple steps to help control nuisance pests, you can be part of the solution. Inside:

Ants raise aphids for their honeydew: "Upon reaching the aphid, the ant begins to stroke the smaller insect with its feelers. The aphid responds by releasing a drop of a sugary substance called honeydew. The ant eagerly licks up the honeydew. Then the ant gently picks up the aphid in its jaws and carries it to another leaf. There the aphid is added to a 'herd' tended by ants." We recommend using SUSPEND® SC to control Aphids. This is a great chemical for outside use for all types of insect problems in lawns and shrubs. Not for use on vegetables. It’s a very cost effective choice as it will make many gallons of finished spray and will last for months. click here to View ants on trees Ant Control by Dusting in Cracks and Crevices Since many pests hide in walls or enter through walls, crack and crevice treatment can often be very effective pest control. Through careful application, crack and crevice treatment can be safer for children and pets since the chemical is put in a smaller, more difficult to reach areas. Crack and crevices areas include areas behind electrical outlet covers and gaps where door and window trim abut walls. Baseboards and cabinet bottoms are also important areas to treat. Be careful about dusting around major appliances; you do not want to apply dust in an area where it might be whipped up by a fan and dispersed in the air. With white-footed ant infestations, you should apply dust between and under rolled fiberglass insulation. Applying on top of these areas in attics will help, but you need to get beneath it to be most effective. The best insecticide dusts to use are DRIONE® Dust and Delta Dust. DRIONE® Dust is a mix of pyrethrins and silica gel and quickly kills scorpions, spiders, and others. Delta Dust is waterproof, and this makes it better suited to damp environments than DRIONE®, which must be kept dry. DRIONE® is the dust of choice for professionals when treating dry areas. Some professionals will mix both Delta Dust and DRIONE® to treat larger areas to reduce the cost and to expose the pests to two different insecticides, which helps in overcoming any immunity and makes for a more effective treatment. You can apply dusts to cracks and crevices by using a hand bellows duster. Dusting in Attics and Crawl Spaces Apply dusts by broadcast method is often preferred in enclosed areas such as attics and crawl spaces that are not living areas. You will want to apply one to two pounds of dust per 500 to 1000 square feet. If you store items in the attics, you want to make sure that you will not contaminate them. Also, ensure that you will not apply dust on top of drop ceilings where the dust could drop into living areas. A good way to dust attics and crawl spaces is with a combination of a pound of Delta Dust and a pound of DRIONE® Dust. The combination makes for a quicker kill and a greater residual effect. You will need a broadcast duster, such as the Dustin Mizer, to apply the dust with an appropriate dust mask. Always follow label! Dusters and Applicators You can treat cracks and crevices with a hand bellows duster. Make sure when you apply the dust that you do not let it accumulate into visible piles; bugs can move around piles but cannot avoid a thin, lethal layer. The Dustin Mizer is a hand, crank duster. Fill the hopper and turn the crank, and the dust will be dispersed three to six feet. Ant Control with Termidor Applied to the outside foundation walls of your home, Termidor is the most effective, low-dose insecticide for controlling ants inside your home. You may have heard about Termidor Termite Control. More then two million homes in the U.S. have been professionally treated with this undetectable liquid. In the few short years it's been around, it has been proven to be the most effective and fastest at completely eliminating termite populations. And now, Termidor is approved for use *outdoors* to control ants *indoors*. Chances are that the ants in your house actually have their nest outside; they travel back and forth for food and water. So, since they live outside, it makes sense to control them there. Termidor Ant Control is applied to the exterior foundation walls of your house, creating a treated area of protection. Undetectable Insecticides In the past several years, the professional pest control industry has been revolutionized by new control technologies, especially in the area of non repellents or "undetectable" liquid treatments. Unlike older insecticides, undetectable s can't be smelled, tasted, or even felt by pests. So they crawl through the treated area, not knowing that by ingesting treated materials or merely contacting the insecticide, they'll die. Termidor is unique because ants are not directly exposed to the Termidor-treated area will be controlled as they come into contact with affected ants. This "Transfer Effect" means you'll see its effects on ants in one to three days, and most species will be controlled within the first week following the treatment. Environmentally Responsible Ant Control Unlike "old-fashioned" chemicals, Termidor is effective at very low doses. Termidor has just 0.06% active ingredient and is virtually odorless. You won't even know it's there. Except you'll know it's worked when your ant problems disappear, inside and out. Ants foraging on Termidor-treated surfaces, ingesting Termidor through normal feeding activity, or that are sprayed directly with the product will die, but not before spreading Termidor through contact throughout the ant population via the product's unique "Transfer Effect." Termidor is easily picked up by ants, and has a quick kill, but it is slow-acting enough to ensure transfer throughout the population. You may still see some ants and roaches crawling around after treatment. If you do, don't kill them or spray insecticide around them. We want them to transfer the product to other pests. Once Termidor has had time to do its job, ant and roach activity will disappear. Termidor must be to be applied by a professional with a commercial applicators’ license. We cannot sell Termidor in the following states: Alaska, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Carpenter Ants and Nuisance Ant Control (Argentine ants, Big-Headed ants, Odorous House ants and Pavement ants): For control of ants around houses and other structures, apply 0.06% Termidor SC to the structure exterior as a low pressure coarse spray where ants enter the structure, trail around the structure or where they crawl and hide. Also spray 0.06% Termidor SC around doors, windows, vents, pipes or any other exterior openings (including foundation cracks or drilled holes) where ants could enter the structure. Be especially careful to treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, aluminum or any similar material) meets the cement, block or brick foundation. Treat all areas where any wires (electrical, telephone or cable) enter the house. This treatment should be made as a general surface spray, crack and crevice spray or wall void application. Apply 2 quarts of 0.06% Termidor SC finished spray per 160 linear feet. (This rate is approximately 1.5 gallons finished spray per 1000 square feet). Application is made one foot out and one foot up the foundation wall with a maximum number of 2 applications per year. It is recommended to remove or prune away shrubbery, bushes, and tree branches touching the structure. Vegetation touching the structure may offer a route of entry for ants into the structure. This may allow ants to inhabit the structure without coming in contact with the treatment. If nests are found, direct treatment of Termidor SC can be made to these nests. Do not allow residents and pets into the immediate area during application and do not contact treated areas until sprays have dried. Q&A Q: What is Termidor? A: Termidor is a termiticide that delivers 100% control in a single application in 3 months or less. Q: What makes Termidor different from other termite treatments? A: Termites can't detect it. They forage freely in a treated area. Termidor is lethal to termites that ingest or contact it. Termites carry it back to the colony and infect every other termite they contact. Q: What types of termites does Termidor control? A: Termidor controls Formosan and subterranean termites, the two most destructive species in the United States, which account for 80% of the $2.5 billion in annual destruction to homes and buildings. Q: Can Termidor be used in both residential and commercial termite control? A: Yes, a trained pest management professional (PMP) may choose to treat most any type of structure that is at risk for termite damage. These structures may include residential homes, churches, office buildings, and schools. Q: How fast will Termidor work once applied properly to a home? A: In every test, Termidor has achieved 100% control of termites within three months or less. Q: How long does Termidor last once applied? A: Time and again, Termidor is proven to have staying power. In numerous tests, Termidor continued to provide 100% control of termites for at least five years. Q: Does Termidor have/leave an odor? A: No, Termidor is odor-free.
