Premise anti-termite is a type of termiticide, which is a chemical substance used to kill or prevent termites from damaging structures. Premise is a brand name of a termiticide that contains the active ingredient imidacloprid. This chemical works by disrupting the nervous system of termites, ultimately leading to their death.
Premise anti-termite can be used in both pre-construction and post-construction applications. In pre-construction, it is applied to the soil prior to pouring the foundation of a building to create a barrier that prevents termites from entering the structure. In post-construction, it can be applied to the foundation and surrounding soil, as well as inside walls and other areas where termites may be present.
The application of Premise anti-termite should be done by a licensed professional, and proper safety precautions should be taken to ensure that the chemical does not pose a threat to people or pets. Additionally, it is important to note that Premise anti-termite is not a preventative measure and should not be used as a substitute for good construction practices or regular inspections for signs of termite activity.
