Termite Treatment with Termiticide

This treatment creates an invisible, low toxic chemical barrier between the house and termites. A subterranean termite cannot detect this barrier and carries it in its body. The chemical is spread through the entire colony when the termites interact with each other.

Premise® Termiticide
Historically, termiticide used were either a “repellant” or a “contact poison”. Termites sense repellants and find other ways to go inside a structure. Contact poison kills the termite as soon as the termite touches any treated area. While both of these are effective immediate solutions, none of these are designed as a long-term solution. Both approaches deal only with foraging termites and there is no attempt of eradicating the main colony itself. find more interesting information about termites and their behavior

Premise® Termiticide by Bayer is designed to kill not only the foraging termites, but also more importantly, the eradication of the entire subterranean termite colony itself. Where the termites are observed to be coming in, Premise® is applied to the soil either by digging a 6″ x 6″ trench. Premise® is applied to the trench and the trench is covered back with soil. On slab surfaces, small holes are drilled through concrete. Using a special application tool, Premise® is pressure injected through the slab into the holes.

For the best protection, Premise® termiticide is applied at every potential entry point for a subterranean termite. This includes the entire length on both sides of the foundation, all posts under the house, pipes that touch the ground, and others.

The mode of action of Premise®
Foraging termites cannot detect a Premise® treated zone, ingest Premise® or carry Premise® on their bodies. Instead, these termites will transfer Premise® to other termites by either grooming or feeding one another. Even as very small amounts of Premise® are being spread into the entire subterranean termite colony, termites will become lethargic and forget to eat and feed other termites. Thus the entire colony eventually dies.

Advantages of Premise®
Eradicates entire colonies (not only prevents termites)
Virtually odorless (will not drive you away from your own house)
Very low toxicity to mammals (toxicity is between aspirin and table salt)

A ringleader of the Paris terror attacks bought electric detonators weeks from a fireworks company which may have been used by the suicide bombers involved in the massacre.

Salah Abdeslam, who is now on the run, bought around 10 detonators from the retailer in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, north of Paris, after asking repeatedly about their reliability, Le Parisien newspaper reported.
It said the store owner phoned the national terror hotline when wanted posters with the 26-year-old suspect’s photo were circulated after the attacks to say that a man resembling him had visited the store the month before.
A source told the newspaper that Abdeslam, who returned to Brussels after the attacks that left 130 people dead, had to provide proof of identity before entering the high-security premises, which is covered by CCTV cameras, and that he had presented his driving licence.
Police sources confirmed that investigators had been contacted by the store but would not say whether the man who bought the detonators was indeed Abdeslam.
“Investigators are examining this element. We will see if it can be confirmed,” a source said.

Le Parisien said the devices allegedly bought by the suspect were battery-operated detonators that when ignited produce a flame varying in length, depending on the model, from two to eight centimetres.
They may have been used by the Friday 13 attackers in Paris, eight of whom blew themselves up after the coordinated assaults on cafés, the Bataclan rock venue and the national stadium.
Police this week found what appears to be a suicide vest dumped in a bin in the southern Paris suburb of Montrouge.
The object was found without a detonator in an area near where Abdeslam was traced to on the night of France’s worst-ever terrorist crime.
The suspect may have intended to blow himself up but abandoned the plan, although it is unclear why.
French-born Abdeslam, who had been living in the Molenbeek area of Brussels known for its links to the jihadist movement, is known to have hired cars and hotel rooms for the suicide attackers using his own credit card.
His brother Brahim blew himself up in the Paris attacks after walking into a café and detonating his explosive vest.
Bernard Cazeneuve, the French interior minister, said this weekend that nearly 1,000 people have been barred from entering France since border controls were put in place just after the terror attacks.
He said that nearly 15,000 police, gendarmes and customs officials were manning France’s frontiers, notably the borders with Belgium, where the three teams of attackers started their deadly journey.
