Safe, inexpensive solution to termite problem

MANILA, Philippines - Among the problems threatening homes and property values in the country are termite infestations. Often undetected until it’s too late, termite attacks damage homes thoroughly, leaving houses’ wooden parts hollow and unstable. Severely damaged doors, ceilings, closets, doors, stairs, and other fixtures can cause physical harm to its residents, not to mention stress.

These weakened structures aren’t limited to residential areas. School buildings, hospitals, government offices, and churches are not spared. Businesses affected by termite problems had to deal with the aftermath. Some had to deal with expensive repairs, while others were forced to relocate because of the severe nature of the damage.

To prevent these horrific infestations, the use of Stedfast, a proven and renowned termiticide, is encouraged. It is a pre-construction soil and wood treatment that essentially creates a barrier, keeping its affected perimeter protected. Known to effectively eliminate or drive away termites that try to cross the treated soil, Stedfast is biodegradable and contains pyrethroid, which is harmful only to termites. Unlike ordinary termiticides, it doesn’t have a foul odor, and is safe to use around humans and pets.

It is also a product that has the distinction of being the only one that’s licensed and approved by the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) for both wood and soil.
