Termidor Residual Pack Shot 5L

Termidor® Residual

Termiticide and Insecticide

Benchmark, failsafe termite control since 2002

Mode of action: Group 2B insecticide
Active ingredient(s): 100 g/L Fipronil
Formulation: Suspension concentrate (SC)


For termite control, the Termidor® range is still in a class of its own. The genuine Termidor Transfer Effect means it kills whole populations, not just the termites that come into contact with it in the soil.

That’s made Termidor the most trusted name in termite control, and for over 19 years this original formulation was the industry standard for non-repellent, long-term chemical treatment. Now new Termidor HE offers an even more advanced termite solution, but Termidor itself has recently been registered to control a wider range of pests, including ants and cockroaches, web-spinning spiders and houseflies through residual surface applications.

Key benefits

  • Kill whole populations
  • Control termites and a wide range of pests
  • 3 month residual control for some pests

How it works

Termidor is applied as a continuous chemical soil zone around and under the home. Some termiticides are repellent and rely on keeping termites away from treated structures. Termites cannot detect Termidor and will not avoid the treated area. As a result, termites continue to forage through the soil until they encounter Termidor and pick up a lethal dose. Termidor will also control ants, domestic cockroaches, web-spinning spiders and houseflies by direct contact and residual activity on treated surfaces. When applied as a surface spray as directed, Termidor will give up to 3 months’ control of ants and is best applied as pest activity increases in early spring.
