Eliminate Termites (NAPS)—They’re no bigger = than a grain of rice, yet termites destroy more U.S. homes than fire, costing homeowners more than $2 billion every year. Now a new product promises 100 percent control of termites in three monthsor less that lasts for five years. Unlike most treatments, this new product doesn’t simply repel termites or attract them to bait. Instead, it’s a new chemistry that is not detected by termites. Ter- mites foraging through a treated area pick it up on their bodies and transfer it to other termites. This unique feature enables the product to work quickly and effec- tively, two to six times faster than most bait systems. Called Termidor, it’s an odorless liquid that is applied by trained pest control professionals around the outside of a home and in foundation cracks and gaps where termites travel and feast. Since termites cannot detect the liquid as it sticks to their bodies, they unknowingly crawl through it and eat it. The termites later carry it back to the colony, where they spread lethal doses to other termites as they groom and feed each other. “Termidor represents a new type of treatment that is not only responsible, but reliable,” said Joe Hope, Ph.D., manager of the field technical center where Aven- tis Environmental Science tested ' YOUR HOME’S WORST ENEMY —There’s a new remedythat can protect your home from expen- sive damage caused by the attack of termites like these. control professional.
