Editing Termite Control: Transfer Effect Versus Domino Effect

Why is Termidor Better than Premise?

Subterranean Termites swarm and travel every spring to recreate and spread out according to famed Entomologist Gregg Henderson. Dr. Henderson PhD is a leading specialist in the field of Entomology and frequently contributes both to publications and speaking engagements at industry conferences as you can see from exactly how frequently 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, but Dr. Henderson has ended up being a highly quotable image in the industry specifically with termites. He just recently led a research study on the Transfer Effect versus the Domino Effect.

The "transfer effect" is the industry's preference and the reason for the research study. It is the result that comes from the use of the termiticide Termidor. The "domino effect" of a termiticide, called Premise, is a really comparable pesticide for killing termites. Nonetheless, as Dr. Henderson and his peers emphasized, more pest control companies prefer Termidor over Premise regardless of it being a much older termiticide. The researchers would like to know why the market didn't switch to Premise. From previous researches, they discovered that Termidor was more efficient. But they wanted to understand why it was transferred by termites more often than Premise, leading to more fatalities.

Both kinds of termiticide are liquid-based sprays that are meant to thrill the termites' central nerves and afterwards trigger the termite to pass away of over-excitation. It's kind of like giving the termites crack. They then spread out the love around the nest and an increasing number of termites are affected by the poisonous substance. Both are essentially odorless and undetectable to the termite. So the termite picks up the poisonous substance and spreads it to its pals back at the nest. Thus, the names "Transfer Effect" and "Domino Effect." Though both kinds of termiticide deal with the same physiological pathway, it had formerly been found out that Termidor did spread around the nest more and kill a considerably bigger part of the nest.

But why? Premise works too swiftly. According to the study, within 9 hours of exposure, the initially affected termites stop moving and begin "resting." Their antennae will start to droop and they stop communicating, and they dig less. In other words, they start to look unwell. Because they look sick, the remainder of the colony stays away from them. As a result, the "domino effect" doesn't take place to very many in the colony.

Termidor, in contrast, showed more thrilled termite workers; they are moving more, digging more, and interacting normally. Simply put, these guys 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 influence other termites. Then, after spreading out Termidor around the colony, the initially-contaminated termites go from hyper to dead. So yes, Termidor is much better than Premise. See the full clinical research post to review more: Transfer Effect versus Domino Effect.

Dr. Henderson concludes the article with a closing idea. These termiticides work best when put as near the nest as possible; near the established termite traffic areas. Qualified Termidor Technicians at Magic Pest Control can provide a complimentary termite evaluation and make certain that, if there are indicators of a termite nest, Termidor is being placed properly.
