| Premise
... Termite Elimination Termiticide |
| Premise for reliable and cost-effective termite elimination |
|
| Premise was first released for use
in the public arena in the USA more than 7 years ago – it is
the original non-repellant termiticide (discussed below). Premise
has since built a solid reputation as a reliable long term termite
control product with virtually no serious problems encountered in
the market place. |
|
Premise termite control termiticide
from Bayer Environmental Science provides
immediate protection from termites like no other product.
Termites are eliminated as they ingest or contact Premise
in a treated soil area around the perimeter of a building or other
timber structure.
Premise has delivered reliable elimination of termite problems in
more than 1 million homes in the USA. |

|
| The Bayer Written Guarantee of Protection |
|
Bayer are so confident of the effectiveness of its
Premise product, that they provide a written guarantee to termite
controllers in the USA who fully treat the soil areas at the base
of a structure as per the Premise label requirements.
Part of the Bayer terms and conditions of such a guarantee states
in effect “if Premise fails to stop termites at any time within
seven years of initial treatment, Bayer will reimburse up to 100%
of product and labor costs involved in retreatment to a maximum
of $1000 for residential accounts and $5000 for commercial accounts.
Bayer will also guarantee to pay the termite controller's damage
claim insurance deductible up to $500 per structure”.
It is a condition of this guarantee that annual inspections are carried
out by the same company installing the Premise termiticide soil treatment.
Full details are available from the authorized Premise termiticide
users in your locality. |

| Premise ... Treated Soil Zones |
|
| The installation of a Premise treated
soil zone requires expert knowledge and specialized equipment to form a
complete and continuous barrier to protect the building from a termite entry
and infestation - as illustrated below: |
|
|
|
|
|
Trench and treat soil around external concrete slab edge
|
Trench and treat soil around walls and piers in the sub-floor area
|
Treatment of soil along / around the external perimeter
|
|
|
|
|
Drill concrete floor along expansion joints and cracks, and
treat soil thereunder
|
Drill concrete floor around pipes and treat soil thereunder
|
Drill concrete patio areas and treat soil area therein - a high
risk termite nest location
|
| Premise ... Non-repellant
- First and Foremost |
|
Premise works quite differently
from other termiticide soil treatment products which are designed
to repel or keep termites away from a treated soil area, rather than
killing them.
With "repellant" termiticides, any minute gap in the treated
soil can be detected and exploited by the termites to gain entry in
the building. This is a major short-coming of the old-fashioned termite
control alternatives, far too often, with financially disastrous consequences.
| Termites cannot detect the Premise chemical
as it has no odor, taste or smell to the termites. |
|
| If you have termites in your
property, we recommend you discuss the problem with the neighbors. Obviously, several homes close by each other with a Premise treated
soil barrier, will greatly increase the chances of successful termite
control, for the benefit all concerned, excepting
the termites. |

controller. |

| Recent termite control analysis –
the biggest in USA history |
|
Recently Bayer conducted the most extensive analysis of a termiticide
effectiveness ever conducted in the history of the USA pest control industry. Click
here for the brochure: Premise delivers termite elimination.
In this study of actual use conditions, Bayer found more than 99% of buildings
treated by Premise at full label applications required absolutely NO retreatment
throughout a 5 year period following the initial treatment, with no serious
re-infestation problems or failure of the product's effectiveness.
This is an outstanding result given the tenacity of termite species in
the USA and wide variation in technical skills of applicators, climatic
conditions, soil compositions and building construction types evident
throughout the United States.
Bayer claim “there is no technical or commercial reason to use
any termiticide other than Premise”. The results tend to speak for
themselves. |
|
| PREMISE provides for long-term on-going
termite elimination |
|
As with any termite control program, your property always remains susceptible
to future attack from new termite colonies or other established colonies
in your area.
The good news for the homeowner is that the Premise soil treatment chemical will remain in place for many years even after the
existing attack on your property has been eliminated. |
In brief, Premise treated soil zone acts
on an on-going basis to prevent termite entry through a treated soil area
into a building or other protected structures. Such a chemical soil zone
under and around the external perimeter of a building is a wide continuous
target for the foraging termites to encounter, rather than scattered bait
stations around the building! |
|
| Your Premise Termite Control Program |
|
The first step in a Premise termite control
program is for your termite controller to thoroughly inspect your
premises in order to assess the level of infestation and the extent
of the threat to your property.
Based upon this inspection, the termite controller can recommend exactly
where and how the Premise soil treatment
should be applied. |
Premise is a lower cost-effective termite
control program. The cost of a Premise program depends on the size and
design of the subject building, the extent of the infestation, the risk
of further attack and on-going termite activity and other environmental
factors.
Where a complete Premise soil treatment is
not practical or desired by the property owner - then we recommend the Exterra termite baiting system also be installed. |
|
|
Both Premise and Termidor have been extensively tested
by various authorities but Premise has been longer on the market with
100% effectiveness if applied correctly. Premise is less expensive than
Termidor and rated as better value for money.

Ring the Experts: The success
of a Premise termite control soil treatment
depends heavily upon the skill and experience of the termite control specialist
engaged.
Premise is only available to licensed pest
controllers. |
