JDI introduces new termite control product

MANILA, Philippines - Jardine Distribution Inc. (JDI) has introduced in the market its newest pest control product aimed at eradicating termites.

With Termitrol, JDI said it is offering a special kind of termiticide that has a “delayed mode of lethal action” or known as a ‘non-repellent’ soil termiticide.  This means that upon contact to the poison, termites are not instantly killed, allowing them to pass on the poison to other termites, which will lead to the elimination of the entire colony.

Termitrol’s ability to eliminate the termite colony addresses the root cause to prevent the problem from recurring and to avoid further damage, JDI said.

For professional pest controls, using this product will help them build a good reputation among their customers because of the efficacy of the product. In return, this will boost their business through satisfied clients and more referrals.

Termitrol’s active ingredient, Fipronil, has been proven effective in killing termite colonies based on bioefficacy tests in Thailand, Pakistan and Iran. Fipronil is also a widely used termiticide in USA.

“It is important to choose the right treatment for your soil. Termitrol is certified environment-friendly since it’s classified as Blue Band chemical, making it non-toxic to earthworms and other soil microflora,” said Nancy Pereyras, product manager for Termitrol.

“Its effects last up to three to five years before re-treating the soil depending on certain variables during the application such as soil condition, client-specific recommendations, among others, that can affect the efficacy of the product. But applying Termitrol should not keep homeowners from maintaining a clean and habitable homes at all times,” Pereyras added.

Termitrol is recommended as a soil termiticide. For wood preservation, there is Solignum for wood. Other JDI repellent termiticides, which are currently used by PCOs, like Protek ad D-fence are still available in the market.

JDI, a member company of Jardine Matheson Group, represents a number of leading brands in wood preservation and protection, soil termiticides, sealants, water proofing solutions, cement additives, and home pest solutions.  For more information, visit JDI’s official website at www.jardinedistribution.com.
