TERMIREPEL® Termites are undisputedly the most destructive
of all structural pests. The term repellency means to drive back, ward
off, or keep away. If the termiticide is a repellent, the termite will approach
the treatment and avoid the treated area. Termites generally will not tunnel through
or walk on a repellent termiticide. We have been working with several
bioactives which are completely non toxic to humans as well as other animals.
Our approach has been to use Environmentally safe products which do not enter
into ground water resources to poison the environment. Termirepel ®
is designed to not poison the environment. It contains no products which are pesticides
or insecticides. The Anti termite masterbatch we have produced functions
in this way, It does not kill insects immediately, instead it repels and disrupts
their growth and reproduction. The product incapacitates the insects rather than
killing them directly. The masterbatch contains 5% Active formulated
in EVA. The product is structurally similar to insect hormones called
"ecdysones" which control the process of metamorphosis as the insects
pass from larva to pupa to adult. The product "Termirepel"
® has three modes of action on insects: it is a highly effective insect
growth regulator (IGR), a feeding deterrent, and an oviposition deterrent.
The product is completely non toxic. Please write to us for more
details on toxicology information & environmental information. We
shall be glad to provide technical information & MSDS of our product.
