An important part of the Tsurat environment, they benefit mankind by their effective re-cycling of organic matter into the soil Unfortunately sometimes, the organic matter they recycle is our houses and other man-made structures. Termites are therefore, a major cause of economic damage to structures in our country, sometimes causing more damage to housing than fires. A termite colony consists of the termite queen, soldiers and workers. A mature colony may have over a million termites. Most termites build mud chambers, the termitaria, in which they reside. It is the subterranean termites (generally ground- dwelling or requiring contact with the soil or some constant source of moisture) which are a major cause of concern forhumans. ee Historically, the best way to stop termites from destroy- ing homes is by applying chemical barrier of the termiticide in the soil around the structure. The efficacy of a conventional barrier depends on its completeness. Any break in the barrier (due to con- struction activity, improper application, shifting of treated soil mass, subsidence, etc) renders it useless andthe structure lays exposed toa termite attack, In addition, the repelient nature of conventional pesti- cides actively encourages termites to avoid the barrier and look for gaps. Premise® is an innovative termiticide being used by more and more pest control operators, internationally | breaks through the ‘repellent barrier’ mentality and allows the pest control specialist to get the best results at minimal dosage rates Being non-repelient and hence very effective it has replaced conventional products in both pre construction and post-construction termiticide treat- ment. Unlike conventional termiticides, which act by 2 repellent or immediate contact kil, Premise” creates non-repellent treated zone in the soil that function as termite killing field”. Termites entering the treated zone cannot detect the presence of Premise” and ge ‘exposed to lethal doses of the product Worker termitesDue to the non repellent property of Premise” termites. do not look around the “barrier” for a gap. Termites exposed to Premise” become dysfunctional immediately and stop feeding, This ensures that no further structural damage can take place. In addition termites transfer Premise” and its debilitating effects by contact to nest mates not directly exposed to treated zone in the soil. This causes reductions in termite populations by attrition. OF NO RETURI ee Fora termiticide to be effective, itis very important that it spreads well and remains in the soil for some time. The ability of a product to spread in the soil is called the lateral spread and depends on its solubility in water. Premise® being water-soluble has an excellent lateral spread. When injected into the soil, it spreads well along with the solvent. This enhances the distribution of the product With time, Premise® binds well with the organic matter in the soil. Due to this there is no leaching and the treated zone remains intact for a long time. These features make Premise” the product of choice in pre and post construction soil application. | Lateral spread of termiticides | COrganophosphates: Premise’ For both pre-and post-construction, itis recommended that Premise” is applied at 0.1% [Link], 2.1 lit, Premise” + 499 lit. of water = 500 lit. of Premise” ‘ready to use’ solution.
