Premise Unlike other chemicals that repel termites, Premise
when applied as a barrier treatment around a building the chemical spreads
creating a treated zone. Termites can happily work into this treated zone
without even realising they have entered the chemical. The moment they come
in contact with the treated soil they are doomed. If a termite comes in to contact with the chemical
it will die. Before it comes in contact with the higher concentrate of
chemical it will forage through the soil were low concentrates are found. It
is when the termites are foraging through this effected area that they stop
feeding, become disorientated, cease grooming each other and neglect their
environment. This allows natural fungi and micro-organisms in the soil to
affect the termites and ultimately kill them. Premise has no airborne residues and has no odour. Premise
is a schedule 5, which is caution and is the only soil treatment for termites
that is not classified hazardous according to the criteria of Work Safe
Australia. Although Premise is lethal to termites, its specific mode of
action is much less hazardous for humans, pets and wildlife. Premise uses the
same active ingredients as some veterinary products that are applied to cats
and dogs to control fleas. We as a company advise that any pets and humans are
away from the property for a least two hours. This is a company
recommendation beyond the chemical recommendation and is applied to any
chemical treatments that we carry out. Once the barrier is placed at the property Stewarts
recommend an Annual Termite Inspection be carried out to the property (as per
Australian Standard) at least every twelve months. This is to ensure that the
chemical barrier has not been disturbed, termites have not found away around
the barrier and to make any recommendations to prevent the barrier been
broken down. |
