Protect your property with the proven termite protection of Premise® 200 SC
Premise® 200 SC is a non-repellent termiticide providing economical structural
protection combined with a colony management effect.
It has become one of the most popular and successful means of protecting structures
around the world by providing high performance, affordability, and excellent all-round
value.
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.

For buildings under construction, the following termite protection measures can be undertaken:

For existing buildings, the only practical method to provide protection is to treat the soil with a liquid This colony management effect greatly increases the success of termite
termiticide. There are two types which are classified by their mode of action: control, as termites are eliminated, not just where the soil is treated, but
also back their source – the termite colony.
• Repellent termiticides – these work by repelling the
termites from the treated soil
A Sustainable solution
• Non-repellent termiticides – these work by killing the
termites that enter the treated soil Premise® 200 SC is a sustainable solution for termite control. It is water-
based and has been designed to provide protection at extremely low doses,
Non-repellent termiticides tend to be favoured because by utilising an active ingredient with a good safety and environmental profile.
killing the termites you get a more reliable treatment.
