Bayer are so confident of the effectiveness of its Premise product, that they provide a written guarantee to termite controllers in the USA who fully treat the soil areas at the base of a structure as per the Premise label requirements. It is a condition of this guarantee that annual inspections are carried out by the same company installing the Premise termiticide soil treatment. Full details are available from the authorized Premise termiticide users in your locality. The installation of a Premise treated soil zone requires expert knowledge and specialized equipment to form a complete and continuous barrier to protect the building from a termite entry and infestation - as illustrated below:.
Trench and treat soil around external concrete slab edge. Department of Agriculture as the No. Results have shown to be percent effective. The manufacturer of Premise, Bayer, will provide unsatisfied customers a percent reimbursement for product and labor costs.
Though Termidor has remained in existence longer, Premise is significantly cheaper. Liquid termiticides such as Premise and Termidor provide outstanding results when trenching or properly treating soil. In addition to controlling subterranean termite movement, these insecticides may also be sprayed directly on wood-based structures.
The Premise and Termidor soil treatment chemicals have been known to remain effective many years after the initial attack has been eliminated.
Though both Termidor and Premise are not considered hazardous via human contact, the aforementioned ingredients may inflict health risks if consumed. Termidor typically works better in moist soil types while Premise provides better results in drier soil types. Premise leeches under house foundations and abutting slabs where subterranean termites nest.
Using the same amount of product and injecting blue dye for tracking purposes our testing reveals protective barriers twice the size of Termidor. Given the foraging nature of both termite species Heterotermes and Reticulitermes having a larger and continuous protective barrier provides for better long-term protection.
Getting a complete termite treatment is only half the battle. Using an effective product that will provide years of protection can save a homeowner from spending hard-earned money on termite treatment services every few years. In Arizona clay soil below ft Termidor provides an average of years of effective residual protection.
Premise 75 provides years of average residual. The lower first number is typically open areas that are exposed to the elements. The higher second number is for areas under concrete slabs. These areas are not subject to the elements and provide almost clinical protection. Both products are applied around your home at the same rate of 4 gallons per 10 treatable linear feet. This rate is regulated by the EPA and state law. Properly treating area homes may require s of gallons of termiticide and potential exposure to your family and pets.
When it comes to product safety Premise Imidacloprid is a safer product. Since Imidacloprid is efficacious at very low levels, it can be applied at lower concentration levels than other insecticides including Fipronil.
The LD50 rating dose required to kill half the population of test rats is considerably lower for Fipronil. Meaning it takes a smaller amount of Fipronil to kill more test rats. When dealing with native species Heterotermes and Eastern Subterranean termite Reticulitermes infestations in Phoenix, using Premise Imidacloprid provides effective termite elimination in most cases. Exceptions to this will be for varying soil types, surrounding environment, and homes with irrigation services.
Premise moves very well in most soil types, and that is not always an advantage. Homes with irrigation services where large volumes of water are regularly introduced around the home can dilute Premise and cause the product to move away from home.
Termidor is a better choice for long-term protection for homes with irrigation services and subject to great moisture. Pricing for Premise per gallon has traditionally been a bit lower. Both Premise and Termidor offer little in protection if not handled or mixed properly. The effectiveness of both products hinges on exposure and the inability of termites to detect their presence. Neither product should be mixed with any other pesticide s. The slightest contamination will make the product detectable to foraging termites and cause them to avoid treated areas.
Mixing Premise with Termidor will neutralize both products, just as applying either product to soil recently treated with the other termiticide. Mixing containers should remain sterile and not used for other pesticides. Which one is more effective to kill termites? Answer: Termidor Foam and Premise Foam have two different active ingredients.
