Non-Repellent Altriset Barrier Treatment

Balancing priorities is part of every decision. If you want powerful, professional termite control that is also environmentally smart, DuPont™ Altriset™ is truly the only choice.
DuPont™ Altriset™ gives you powerful and long-lasting termite control—all while treating your family home and the environment with respect.

Termites live to eat. Their hunger causes $5 billion worth of damage each year in the U.S.—damage most homeowners insurance doesn’t cover.
Enter DuPont™ Altriset.™ It works by paralyzing the mouths of termites within hours of ingestion, stopping further damage immediately. But Altriset™ doesn’t stop there. It also increases termites’ natural social behavior. By grooming and exchanging food, they spread Altriset™ among other colony members.

Your professional termite control specialist applies Altriset™ in targeted areas.
The first wave of termites to come into contact with Altriset™ walks through it, ingest it and carry it on their bodies. They cannot taste or smell it.
Within several hours, the mouths of exposed termites become paralyzed to stop further feeding.
Exposed termites experience increased grooming and interaction so that they spread Altriset™ among other colony members.
Over time, termites become more lethargic and show signs of muscle paralysis.
Altriset™ eliminates the termites in three months or less when used in accordance with the label.

There are other professional termite control products. So why choose Altriset™? Because it’s a unique combination of powerful, effective and environmentally smart.
Altriset™ uses breakthrough chemistry developed by DuPont scientists, who have spent years studying the natural insect repellent substances found in certain tree and shrub bark. Mimicking these natural substances is an important innovation in pest control. In fact, Altriset™ is the first major innovation in termiticide technology since the 1990s.
This is one reason why Altriset™ has such a low impact on the environment, including mammals, birds, bees, fish and other animals. And why Altriset™ is a smart choice for you and the environment.

The U.S. EPA requires registered pest control products to display a signal word on the label, such as “warning” or “caution,” depending on their level of toxicity. Because of its low toxicity, Altriset™ is the first and only liquid termiticide that does not have any signal word. This is a breakthrough accomplishment based on extensive research and is currently unequaled in the professional pest control industry.

Altriset™ is the first professional termiticide that does not require any specific first aid intervention if anyone is accidentally exposed. There’s no mandatory need to rinse eyes, rinse skin or call a poison control center.

Likewise, when applying Altriset™ the termite control professional treating your home is not required to wear special personal protective equipment such as gloves and eyewear
