About Termidor 96 SC
Termidor 96SC is the world's most trusted professional termiticide, based on Fipronil at 96 g/L in a suspension concentrate formulation. It is used by licensed pest control operators, building contractors, and property developers across Kenya and in over 100 countries worldwide. Its revolutionary Transfer Effect mechanism means termites that contact the treated soil zone carry Fipronil back to the colony, passing it to nestmates including the queen through grooming and feeding contact. This results in full colony elimination rather than simple repellency or population reduction.
How It Works
Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide that acts on GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system, causing hyperexcitation and death. At the low concentrations used in soil application (0.025% working solution), the effect is slow enough that affected termites continue behaving normally for 24-48 hours before dying - this is the critical window during which they spread Fipronil through the colony via the Transfer Effect. Within 6-12 weeks of treatment, foraging activity from the treated structure ceases entirely as the colony collapses. The treated soil zone retains its barrier effect for up to 10 years in Kenyan soil conditions.

- 1Dilute 25ml of Termidor 96SC in 10 litres of water to make a 0.025% Fipronil working solution
- 2For post-construction treatment: excavate a 150-300mm trench along all external foundation walls and apply at 5 litres per linear metre
- 3For pre-construction treatment: apply to formation level soil at 5 litres per m2 before the slab is poured
- 4Where concrete or paving prevents trenching: drill holes at 300-500mm intervals and inject solution under pressure
- 5For active termite mounds: inject directly into mound galleries at multiple points
- 6Seal all drill holes with concrete or colour-matched grout after treatment
- 7Allow treated surfaces to dry before re-entry (minimum 4 hours)
- 8Keep children and pets away from the treated zone until dry
Customer Reviews
“Used Termidor for my 4-bedroom house in Machakos. The technician explained the process well and the treatment came with a 10-year warranty document. No termite activity after 8 months of follow-up. Very impressed.”
“I was skeptical about the price but the results speak for themselves. The colony that had been eating my door frames for two years was completely gone within 6 weeks. Worth every shilling.”
“As a building contractor, I now specify Termidor 96SC for all my projects that require a 10-year termite warranty. My clients in Kisumu have had zero callbacks. Reliable product from a reliable supplier.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Termidor 96SC take to work?
You will not see immediate results - this is by design. Termites continue foraging through the treated zone for 1-2 weeks, spreading Fipronil to the colony. Significant decline in activity is typically visible by weeks 6-8. Full colony elimination usually occurs by weeks 8-12.
Can I apply Termidor 96SC myself?
Termidor 96SC is a professional-grade product. While it can be purchased by property owners, correct application requires proper equipment and technique. For a treatment that qualifies for a formal warranty certificate, professional application by a licensed pest control operator is required. WhatsApp us for advice.
How much Termidor 96SC do I need for my house?
For a standard 3-bedroom house with approximately 60 linear metres of external foundation perimeter, you would typically need 1-1.5 litres of concentrate (making 400-600 litres of working solution at 25ml/10L). WhatsApp us with your house perimeter or slab area for an exact calculation.
Is Termidor 96SC safe for families and pets?
Yes, at the concentrations used in soil treatment, Fipronil poses minimal risk to humans and pets. Treated areas should be avoided for 4 hours while surfaces dry. Once dry, normal activity can resume. We advise keeping pets away from the treated soil zone during this drying period.
Does Termidor 96SC work against drywood termites?
Termidor 96SC is primarily formulated for soil application against subterranean termites, which are the dominant species in Kenya. For drywood termites (Cryptotermes species), direct timber treatment or fumigation is more effective. Contact us to identify your termite species and recommend the correct treatment.
