Termidor Dust

A new product has been released for use by professional pest controllers in the fight against active termite infestations.

Termidor Dust is the culmination of over 10 years research in Australia to find the perfect termite nest elimination product.  Termidor Dust is applied by professional Pest Control Operators directly on to the termites, either inside your house or onto activity around the yard (trees, fences etc).

Termidor Dust is also ideal for use in treating active termite hits in bait stations.

After treatment, the termites become contaminated by the dust and carry the dust particles on their bodies and eventually back to the nest via the transfer effect.

Extensive Australian research has shown that it can take as little as 2 to 4 weeks for total termite elimination.

There are two different species of insects in Australia that are known as Daddy Long Legs.

Both are Arachnids, but only one is a spider.

The most common is from the family Pholcidae that belong to a group of about 12 Australian species known as “Tangle Web Spiders”. Logically, the group name comes from their tendency to construct irregular webs with no apparent pattern.

These spiders, also called Cellar Spiders, and are probably the most commonly seen spiders inside Australian homes. They are often found around humans in houses, garages and sheds. They can usually be found living in their webs in the corners of rooms of houses, and more often than not, in bathrooms.

They have two distinct parts to their bodies, separated by a narrow waist, eight eyes and eight long spindly legs.
