Premise 2 Is A Non-Repellant Termiticide/Insecticide: Undetectable To Termites And Other Pests

What Pests Does Premise® 2 Control?

Premise 2 is labeled for a wide range of structural and perimeter pests, including:

• Subterranean termites

• Carpenter ants

• Ants (various species)

• Fleas

• Ticks

• Other soil-dwelling and perimeter insects

This versatility makes Premise 2 an excellent choice for whole-structure protection, not just termite-only treatments.

How Long Does Premise® 2 Take to Work?

Premise 2 begins working within hours after pests contact treated soil or surfaces. Most users notice a reduction in visible termite or ant activity within 24–72 hours, with broader colony impact developing over 3–7 days.

Because Premise 2 works through delayed transfer, termites continue interacting with nestmates before dying—allowing the product to spread deeper into the colony. This process is critical for complete elimination, especially in hidden infestations.

How Long Does Premise® 2 Last?

When applied correctly:

• Soil treatments can remain effective for months to years

• Preventative barriers continue protecting structures as long as the treated zone remains undisturbed

• Residual activity greatly reduces the risk of reinfestation

This long lifespan is why Premise 2 is commonly used in pre-construction and post-construction termite protection.

Premise® 2 vs Termidor® vs Taurus® – What’s the Difference?

Premise 2 differs from fipronil-based termiticides like Termidor and Taurus in how it moves through the environment:

• Premise 2 (imidacloprid)

  • Systemic soil activity

  • Excellent absorption into treated zones

  • Ideal for prevention and perimeter defense

• Termidor / Taurus (fipronil)

  • Strong transfer effect through contact

  • Aggressive colony collapse

  • Often preferred for active infestations

Many professionals choose Premise 2 for long-term prevention and Termidor-style products for heavy, active termite pressure. Both are non-repellent and highly effective when used correctly.

Where Can Premise® 2 Be Applied?

Premise 2 is commonly used for:

• Foundation trenching and soil treatments

• Exterior perimeter treatments

• Wall void applications (label-permitted)

• Pre-construction termite barriers

• Structural protection around homes and buildings

Always follow label directions for placement and application methods.

Is Premise® 2 Safe to Use Around Homes?

When applied according to the label, Premise 2 is safe for residential use. It is designed to be applied to soil and structural areas, not broadcast indoors. People and pets should remain out of treated areas until the application has dried and settled.

If you want more than a surface spray—and you want protection that lasts—Premise 2 is the right tool.

Mixing Instructions: SHAKE WELL.

Fill tank 1/4 to 1/3 full. If using a large sprayer, start pump to begin bypass agitation and place end of treating tool in tank to allow circulation through hose.  Add appropriate amount of  Premise 2 Termiticide/Insecticide.  Add remaining amount of water.  Let pump run and allow recirculation through the hose for 2-3 minutes.

Proportional Injector Mixing Table for Premise 2:

Injector Volume (fl. oz/gal)               Concentration (%)

0.3                                                  0.05

0.6                                                  0.10

Application Volume:

Whenever possible, use the application volumes described in the “Directions For Use” on the label.  However, where soil conditions will not accept application of 4 gallons of Premise 2 Insecticide per 10 linear feet, twice the Premise 2 Insecticide concentration may be applied in 2 gallons of solution pre 10 linear feet.

Premise Pre-Construction is a non-repellent termiticide that offers high performance, affordability and excellent value. This product cannot be detected by termites – instead, they come directly in contact with the active ingredient, imidacloprid. And unlike some other termiticides, it won’t harm plumbing.
