I did some google search.  I think the active ingredient in Termidor is Fipronil.

Branded = Termidor

Generic = Fipronil

Guess what is the price difference ?

fipronil based insecticide for consumer, i think is difficult to get n expensive...

u know frontline spot on for dogs and cats? that is fipronil, i use the spray to kill termites...
it's very expensive, % fipronil also very low, so i use a bit oni...
use it for my dogs and cats... laugh.gif

termites built the 'tunnel' coming out from the door frame... u destroy it, termites built it again,
so i spray a bit of fipronil there, some workers will con't built n comes in contact with the poison,
later i think will transfer to the others...
i've done this on few wooden beams as well... no more termites activities after that...

only thing is, Spot on has some odour... , mebe termite can sense it...

those selling in ace are not termidor, its termi-something... not fipronil wan...

i think it is this, selling in ace n u can get from hw store, termitox 500ec
ppl use this to mix into concrete, and it is very smelly, so termites will avoid it lah..
can't use it like termidor..

check out this topic...
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2206018/all

i dun like to use insecticide/poison, but last year i have no choice, so i tried Fendona SC, got it from ace.
and it is odourless...
if u google, fendona suppose to be less poisonous but very effective, Kelas IV i think,

this time i might wana try it on termites, cos i got many unwanted wood at home, n termites r making nest there.... biggrin.gif

I once bought Fipronil - about rm55 for a bottle - enough for 2 ha.  Usually used for plantation land (think palm oil, n rubber).  One of the plant shops in sungai buloh.

Imo its not worth it, if there is no termite, wht to bait? The bait can specifically attract termites only? Termites will oni wana eat that bait? If bait was placed in a termite nest or path it might wor, but now baiting somethnig that is not there...

" the European Union has decided to ban the systemic pesticide Fipronil, for its application on maize and sunflower seeds, because of the high acute risks that it poses on bees. "

http://www.mieliditalia.it/index.php/en-fr...ticide-fipronil

don't make it sounds like fipronil was totally banned... biggrin.gif

the spot on tick spray u use on your dogs n cats have this fipronil..
