Therefore, when Termidor is in the soil around and underneath a structure, termites are unaware of its presence and eventually contact or ingest the termiticide. Many termiticides rely on ingestion alone to kill termites, but Termidor goes further with its contact feature. This means termites don't have to ingest the product to die from its effects. Termites can also pick up Termidor on their bodies and carry it back unknowingly to their nest, killing others they contact on the way. No other termiticide in the world has the combined ingestion and transfer effect of Termidor.
Homeowners have reason to fear termites.
