FUSE Termiticide/Insecticide contains both imidacloprid and fipronil as its active ingredients. Both ingredients work by affecting the insects' nervous systems, creating a highly effective method of pest control. It is labeled for termite and perimeter pest control applications. In addition to termites, Fuse will control many other insect pests including ants, earwigs, millipedes, boxelder bugs, silverfish, and pillbugs. Please consult the label for a complete list. Fuse is non-repellant, which means that the insects cannot detect it and will readily come into contact with it. In doing so, they will receive a lethal dose of the insecticide. With insects such as termites and ants, they will also carry this lethal dose back to the colony and spread it among the other insects as well.
Fuse is not labeled to be used directly on pets
NOTE: This product is not approved for use in the state of Louisana for Post-Construction Treatments.
Fuse is now available in a 7.5 oz bottle. This is a convenient size for backpack, handheld sprayer and large tank applications. One bottle will make up to 25 gallons and is great for exterior perimeter pest programs.

FUSE contains imidacloprid and fipronil. Both act in the insects’ nervous systems, but in different locations. Imidacloprid targets post-synaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insects, causing over-stimulation of the insects’ nervous systems. Fipronil acts as a post-synaptic gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibitor, also resulting in over-stimulation of the insects’ nervous systems.
USE INSTRUCTIONS
For subterranean termite control, specific treatment recommendations may differ due to regulations, treatment procedures, soil types, construction practices and other factors. The purpose of chemical soil treatment for termite control is to establish a continuous treated zone (horizontal and/or vertical) between the wood and other cellulose material in the structure and the termite colonies in the soil. The establishment of an aerial or above ground colony may require additional treatments to control the termites, as well as landscape modifications, and/or structural repairs to deny termites of a moisture source. Use a 0.067% to 0.13% dilution based on current recommendations. For a typical control situation, a 0.067% dilution is used. A 0.13% dilution may be used when a severe or persistent infestation exists.

Fuse

Fuse works well. I've had to sweep thousands of dead Odorous House Ants off the steps and porch several times since using it. I wish they sold it in smaller bottles. I have enough for the whole neighborhood. Unfortunately the ingredients are quite dangerous. Recent research has shown the "neonic" ingredients to kill worms, fish, frogs, as well as insects. If plants take up the poison insects drinking nectar from the flowers, like bees, will get poisoned, as well as those sucking sap or chewing leaves, so it is critical to removed plants withing 2 feet of the house. That is a lot of work! I wish there had been another way to kill the ants which were vastly multiplied this year. I have battled them for years but the colonies keep growing. This will keep them out of the house at least. Use sparingly with extreme caution. I did save about $250 compared to having the exterminator do it, but he wasn't going to do the real work of removing the plants. That was up to me.

FUSE

Fuse Termiticide and Termidor SC are both very good products for termites. They both contain non-repellents so that the pests do not know they are coming in contact with it. Fuse does have two active ingredients, one of them being fipronil, which is in Termidor SC. The other is imidacloprid. Both act in the insects nervous systems, but in different locations. Imidacloprid targets post-synaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insects, causing over-stimulation of the insects nervous systems. Fipronil acts as a post-synaptic gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibitor, also resulting in over-stimulation of the insects' nervous systems. According to the manufacturer, this product could last up to 8 years in the soil. Termidor SC lasts approximately 10 years in the soil. You will treat the same way with both products as well.
Be sure to check out our Termite Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent termites.

The research results provided a threshold concentration of imidacloprid that significantly reduces the toxicity of fipronil. Even 2.3 ppm (15 ppm in the solution) imidacloprid reduced the efficacy of fipronil. The termite survival numbers in the treatment of 100 ppm fipronil plus 15 ppm imidacloprid were significantly higher than in the treatment with lower imidacloprid concentrations (100 ppm fipronil plus 5 ppm imidacloprid and fipronil alone) at 48 hours. Both fipronil (under registered name Termidor
FUSE Termiticide Insecticide is labeled as pet safe when used as directed. We advise to allow 1-2 hours before releasing any children or pest into the treated area to allow the residual to dry completely.

I've been doing pest control for almost 10 years and always used Termidor SC. However the cost of FUSE is much cheaper and also takes less per gallon? i know it does contain as much Fipronil but still how well does it work in trench treatments compared to Termidor SC?
