| On the basis of recent experience, a significant portion of homes in Clive IA will suffer a severe termite infestation. To make matters worse your home 
      insurance policy does NOT cover the damage which may involve costly replacement 
      of floor, wall and roofing timbers. Fortunately, several excellent termite control products are available - Premise and Termidor which can offer 100% termite protection in the majority of situations.

| 
 With Premise and Termidor, the termites cannot detect the chemical in the treated soil as it has no odor, taste or smell to the termites. They are not aware of the lethal effect of the chemical until it's too late. Both BASF Termidor and Bayer Premise claim their products kill termites that travel through a treated soil area abutting the building, where higher concentration levels are encountered. In addition, termites exposed to the chemical in lower concentrations can transfer it onto other termites - the so called Transfer or Domino Effect. This is a very important aspect aimed at wiping out the entire colony - the ultimate form of long-term protection. Both products seem to provide more than 5 years reliable protection if applied correctly to label requirements and industry standards. Both Premise and Termidor products are ultra-low hazard to people and are discussed in detail in the Termite Control section of this website. | 
| 
 CONSUMER NOTE: For the homeowner with active termites in their property, we recommend you arrange for a Termite Inspection and Report, including written specifications for a complete soil treatment (where practicable) using Premise or Termidor. | 
| WARNING: Termite damage to a building or other timber structures can be severe and your home insurance does NOT cover the repair costs. Termites are known to destroy roofing and wall framing timbers within a few months in a worst case scenario. |
