Termites are the most destructive insect pests of wood in the United States. They cause more than $5 billion in damage each year — more property damage than that caused by fire and windstorm combined.

In nature, termites are beneficial because they break down many dead trees and other wood materials that would otherwise accumulate. The problem occurs when they attack the wood in human structures. Termites aren’t easily noticed because they often hide their activity behind wallboards and sidings.

A thorough inspection by a Simmons professional can pinpoint such activity and design the best treatment for you.

NEW CONSTRUCTION PROTECTION

A termite pre-construction treatment is an important step in homebuilding. The best time to provide protection against future termite infestation is during the planning and construction phase of building a new home or structure.

Simmons Pest Management offers the best product on the market to protect new construction against termites and other pests – Termidor.

What is Termidor?

Termidor is America’s No. 1 termite defense product, completely eliminating termite populations faster than any other termite defense product in existence.  Termidor is a pre- and post-construction liquid termite defense product applied by Simmons Pest Management.

How Does Termidor Work?

Termidor is applied to areas where termites can be found in and around the home and begins working immediately to defend against them. Because of its advanced, undetectable technology, termites can’t smell, see or feel Termidor. Consequently, they forage freely in the treated zone, ingesting Termidor and getting it on their bodies.

Whenever a termite ingests or touches Termidor, the termite becomes a “carrier,” transferring it to every other termite it contacts. These termites in turn become secondary carriers, transferring the termiticide to every termite they contact.

Because Termidor is slow acting, termites have ample time to spread it throughout their entire colony. This unique, spiraling process is called the “Transfer Effect™,” and it helps Termidor deliver devastating results unmatched by any other product.

Why choose Termidor for pre-construction termite control?

Although pre-construction termite treatments have generally been price-driven, today more pest professionals than ever are working with homebuilders to use premium products like Termidor for pre-construction termite prevention. Many custom and upscale homebuilders view a premium termite defense treatment like any other premium accessory or appliance installed in a home, and are marketing it to homebuyers as a valuable property enhancement.

Builders are also recognizing that even a few “problem” termite homes can seriously damage their reputations so they appreciate the value of using the best termite defense product.

In nationwide testing performed by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Termidor has provided 100% control at all concrete slab and ground board testing sites since 1994. In these tests, no termites have ever penetrated Termidor-treated soil, and no damage has ever been noted through 10 years. This length of control is unmatched by any other commercially available termite defense.

What can homebuilders do to ensure new homes are protected from termites?

With Simmons Pest Management, you can be sure that Termidor is applied during the construction of a home as part of a normal preventative termite treatment.
