Termites Premise® 200 SC
In the USA, termites cause more damage each year than hail, tornadoes,
hurricanes, flooding, and windstorms combined. Premise® 200 SC is a non-repellent termiticide, that provides economical structural protection
combined with a colony management effect.

serious termite problem without knowing it. Termites feed mainly on

It’s better to prevent termites from entering a building than to have to try
to eradicate them. It’s also easier, more convenient, and less costly to stop Premise® 200 SC is water-based which means there’s no odour, and it won’t harm pipes or waterproofing

been installed under and around a building.
Many authorities require termite protection measures to be incorporated
during the construction of new buildings. This is important due to the high For existing buildings Premise® 200 SC exhibits good lateral spread in soil which reduces the number of

The critical factors for termite protection are: The colony management effect
• To ensure the creation of a proper barrier or treatment zone before buildings are built Premise® 200 SC works by killing termites, and because contaminated termites transfer it to other
• To conduct regular termite inspections of existing buildings, and termites before they die, it kills not only those entering the treated soil, but also many of the termites
• To ensure proper protective measures are in place throughout the lifetime of a building back in the colony. This is what we call the “colony management” effect and is illustrated in the figure
below.
