For all such wood protection spray, we use a non-odourous and non-repelling termiticidal solution, that has long-term & proven termite protection. Imidacloprid is the active ingredient in our termiticide. It’s one of the most widely used insecticides globally. Since it works via contact and ingestion, any contact or consumption of the treated wood, would lead to the demise of the termites. Imidacloprid works by preventing the transmission of impulses between nerves, causing the termites to paralyse, resulting in an eventual death. Apart from being effective, Imidacloprid also has a good safety profile, basically a category 4 toxicity & a LD50 (Dermal) of more than 4,000mg/kg.

At Pesticon, we stand behind our work. If any re-infestation occurs within the warranty period, we shall perform remedial actions at no additional charge.

Please note that, while the treatments as listed above, may from time to time be useful for protection against drywood termites, they are usually more suitable, for protection against subterranean termites. Due to the lack of penetrative power, surface coatings with termiticides, are less than ideal in controlling drywood termites. Our usual drywood termites treatment, involves drilling into affected panels & injecting foam with good termiticidal qualities.
