Termite Control: Transfer Effect Versus Domino Effect
Why is Termidor Much Better than Premise?

Subterranean Termites swarm and fly every spring to recreate and spread out according to well-known Entomologist Gregg Henderson. Dr. Henderson PhD is a leading specialist in the area of Entomology and regularly contributes both to publications and talking engagements at market conferences as you can see from exactly how regularly his name is on the schedule in the link to the 2014 National Conference on Urban Entomology. Entomology is the study of bugs and insects in general, yet Dr. Henderson has ended up being an extremely quotable image in the business particularly with termites. He just recently led a research study on the Transfer Effect against the Domino Effect.

The "transfer effect" is the industry's first option and the reason for the research study. It is the result that originates from the use of the termiticide Termidor. The "domino effect" of a termiticide, called Premise, is a really comparable pesticide for eliminating termites. Nonetheless, as Dr. Henderson and his peers emphasized, more pest control businesses like Termidor over Premise regardless of it being a much older termiticide. The analysts wished to know why the market didn't switch to Premise. From previous research studies, they discovered that Termidor was more reliable. However they wished to comprehend why it was moved by termites more frequently than Premise, leading to even more fatalities.

Both forms of termiticide are liquid-based sprays that are intended to delight the termites' nerves and afterwards trigger the termite to pass away of over-excitation. It's kind of like offering the termites crack. They then spread out the love around the nest and a growing number of termites are impacted by the poisonous substance. Both are basically odorless and undetectable to the termite. So the termite gets the poisonous substance and spreads it to its pals back at the nest. Thus, the names "Transfer Effect" and "Domino Effect." Though both forms of termiticide deal with the very same physiological path, it had formerly been discovered that Termidor did spread out around the nest more and eliminate a substantially bigger part of the nest.

But why? Premise works too quickly. According to the research study, within 9 hours of exposure, the initially affected termites stop moving and begin "resting." Their antennae will begin to sag and they stop connecting, and they dig less. In short, they begin to look unwell. Due to the fact that they look unwell, the remainder of the nest stays away from them. As a result, the "domino effect" does not take place to very many in the nest.

Termidor, on the other hand, revealed more ecstatic termite workers; they are moving more, digging more, and connecting typically. In short, these creatures appear like they're not just healthy workers, they're the "life of the party" workers. They appear to have the most energy. This makes it easy for them to basically make friends and win over other termites. Then, after spreading out Termidor around the nest, the initially-contaminated termites go from active to dead. So yes, Termidor is much better than Premise. See the complete research post to find out more: Transfer Effect against Domino Effect.

Dr. Henderson concludes the post with a closing idea. These termiticides work best when positioned as near to the nest as possible; near the identified termite traffic locations. Qualified Termidor Technicians at Magic Pest Control can provide a cost-free termite evaluation and ensure that, if there are indicators of a termite nest, Termidor is being positioned properly.
