Phantom Termiticide and Insecticide

How Phantom Works

• Phantom Product Label
• Phantom MSDS

A non repellent termiticide/insecticide (Termites, ants and roaches don't know it is there!)
For use in: Indoors and Outdoors

Phantom's "Secondary Kill" Action

This insecticide has the ability to kill pests that have not come in contact with the treated area. This mode of action is called "secondary kill", one insect exposes other insects to the insecticide. Exposure occurs by contact, grooming and food exchange.

This secondary kill action is a primary contributor to both Phantom's incredible performance and its ability to control entire pest populations at low doses.

It is not only a Termiticide that kills termites by ingestion and contact, but also a powerful and effective insecticide for ants and cockroaches. It combines nonrepellency, superior control, long-lasting effects in a low-dose, virtually odorless formulation. It can be used as a soil drench, wall foam or as a general use spray as desired.

FAQ'S

A: Chlorfenapyr, the state-of-the-art active ingredient in Phantom, works differently than other termiticides, which typically attack the insect's nerve cells. Instead, it attacks cells in the insect's body and prevents these cells from generating sufficient energy to sustain life.

Q: How do termites come in contact with Phantom?

A: It is a truly nonrepellent termiticide. That means that termites don't know it's there. Once it has been applied to the soil and a perimeter has been established, foraging termites acquire the termiticide as they pass directly through the treated zone. Secondly, toxic doses of chlorfenapyr are transferred to other members of the colony through such mechanisms as trophallaxis, which involve shared feeding of contaminated secretions and food. As we say, "Some lines should never be crossed," and "fortunately, termites have no idea where this one is."

Q: Do termites die immediately upon contact with Phantom?

A: No. It works through a process called delayed action mortality. Because termites don't die immediately upon contact with Phantom, they have the opportunity to distribute the termiticide to their nestmates. They also die away from the it's perimeter, eliminating the potential for accumulated corpses that would drive other termites away from the treated area

Q: Does Phantom only control termites?

A: No. It is also labeled for control of general household pests inside both residential and commercial structures. Essentially, it will have a deleterious effect upon all insects that have behavioral patterns which allow trafficking through the treated area. In this respect, it has been proven to be highly effective on both cockroaches and ants.
