Termidor® SC Residual Termiticide and Insecticide

Termidor® SC Residual Termiticide and Insecticide provides superior levels of control across subterranean termites, ants, cockroaches, spiders and flies. Developed with BASF's advanced non-repellent technology, Termidor delivers significant advantages over traditional insecticides. Termites and other pests cannot detect the treatment, allowing them to continue normal activity and unknowingly come into contact with the active ingredient. Termidor's unique Transfer Effect™ enables the active ingredient to spread throughout the pest population, ensuring continued interaction without behavioural disruption. This results in unmatched efficacy, long-term residual control and reduced call backs.

  • Unique treatment flexibility for use alongside baiting systems such as Trelona® ATBS
  • Termidor Transfer Effect™ spreads the active ingredient throughout pest populations
  • Contains 100 g/L Fipronil
  • Provides up to 3 months residual control against certain pests

Where Termidor® SC Residual Termiticide Works

Termidor is effective against:

  • Subterranean termites (including Coptotermes, Mastotermes and Schedorhinotermes species)
  • Ants (including nuisance and nesting ants)
  • Cockroaches
  • Web-spinning spiders and daddy-longlegs
  • Flies, earwigs, millipedes and house crickets

It is suitable for use in:

  • Domestic properties
  • Commercial buildings
  • Industrial sites
  • External areas and building perimeters
  • Soil treatment zones around and under structures

How Termidor® SC Residual Termiticide Works

Termidor is applied as a continuous chemical soil zone around and under structures to create a treated barrier. Unlike repellent termiticides that rely on keeping termites away, Termidor is non-repellent, meaning termites cannot detect it. As a result, termites continue to forage naturally through treated soil until they encounter the active ingredient and pick up a lethal dose. Once exposed, termites transfer the active ingredient to other members of the colony through normal behaviours such as grooming and contact.

This Transfer Effect™ allows the insecticide to spread beyond the initial point of contact, reaching individuals that have not directly encountered the treated zone. This process enables control of the entire colony, including hidden and inaccessible areas.

For general pest control, Termidor works through both contact and residual activity on treated surfaces. When pests such as ants, cockroaches, spiders or flies come into contact with treated areas, they pick up the active ingredient and transfer it to others within the population. Because pests are not repelled or disturbed, they continue to interact with treated surfaces, resulting in more effective population control compared to conventional insecticides.

How to Use Termidor® SC Residual Termiticide

Termidor should be mixed with water and applied as a spray or soil treatment depending on the target pest and application area. For termite protection, it is applied as a continuous treated zone around and under structures using trenching, spraying or injection methods in accordance with Australian standards. For general pest control, apply to external surfaces, entry points and areas where pests are active, including walls, foundations, cracks and crevices.

Application Guidelines

  • Apply to external areas 300 mm up and 300 mm out from where structures meet the ground
  • Apply at approximately 1 L of prepared solution per 25 lineal metres
  • For surface treatments, apply at approximately 1 L per 16 m²
  • For termite treatments, create a continuous treated zone using trenching, rodding or injection methods
  • Reapply if treated zones are disturbed or compromised

Service and Residual Control

Termidor provides long-lasting residual control, with up to 3 months protection against certain pests. Its non-repellent formulation ensures ongoing interaction with pest populations, reducing the need for frequent reapplications and improving long-term control outcomes.

Why Choose Termidor® SC Residual Termiticide

Termidor is considered the gold standard in pest control due to its non-repellent technology and proven Transfer Effect™. It delivers superior colony-level control, long-term protection and consistent results across a wide range of pests, making it a trusted solution for professional pest management programs.

FAQs About Termidor® SC Residual Termiticide

What makes Termidor different from other termiticides? It is non-repellent, meaning termites cannot detect it and continue to interact with treated areas.

How does the Transfer Effect™ work? Exposed pests spread the active ingredient to others through contact and behaviour, ensuring full population control.

Where can it be used? Around and under structures, as well as on external surfaces for general pest control.

How long does it last? It provides residual protection for up to 3 months against certain pests.
