Mirage 5% SC Termiticide

Introduction

When it comes to protecting your home, commercial property, or farm structures from the silent and devastating damage caused by termites, Mirage 5 SC stands out as a dependable, effective, and long-lasting solution. Formulated with Imidacloprid 5% w/w, this suspension concentrate (SC) termiticide is engineered to control and eliminate both subterranean and drywood termites through its unique non-repellent action.

Mirage 5% SC is perfect for pre-construction, post-construction, and wood treatment applications, making it versatile for contractors, pest control professionals, and homeowners. With its deep-penetrating ability and long-lasting residual effect, Mirage ensures thorough termite eradication and lasting protection.

What Is Mirage 5% SC?

Mirage 5 SC is an advanced termiticide containing Imidacloprid 5% w/w, a neonicotinoid insecticide known for its potent action against sucking and chewing pests, especially termites. The formulation is water-based and designed as a suspension concentrate (SC) that allows deep penetration into the soil and wood, reaching even the most hidden termite colonies.

Unlike traditional repellents, Mirage works silently by allowing termites to contact the treated area and unknowingly transfer the toxicant to other members of the colony. This “domino effect” or transfer effect ensures complete colony elimination over time.

Key Benefits of Mirage 5 SC

🔄 Long-Lasting Residual Action

Mirage 5 SC remains active in soil and wood for years, providing ongoing protection from future termite attacks. One treatment can last multiple years depending on the environment and conditions.

💡 Non-Repellent Formula

Since termites cannot detect the presence of Imidacloprid, they walk through treated areas and carry the toxicant back to the nest, affecting the entire colony.

🥇 Fast Knockdown Effect

Imidacloprid quickly disrupts termite nervous systems, causing paralysis and eventual death. Initial reductions are seen soon after application.

🛌 Versatile Use Cases

• Pre-construction soil treatment
• Post-construction perimeter and structure treatment
• Wood treatment for furniture, fixtures, and logs

🔮 Environmentally Safer Option

With a low odor and reduced toxicity to non-target organisms, Mirage 5 SC is safer for applicators and the environment when used as directed.

Mode of Action: How Mirage 5 SC Works

Imidacloprid, the active ingredient in Mirage 5 SC, is a systemic insecticide that binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect’s nervous system. This leads to:

• Interruption of nerve signal transmission
• Overstimulation of the nervous system
• Paralysis and death of the termite within hours to a few days

Because it is a non-repellent, termites remain unaware and do not avoid treated areas. This is critical to achieving full colony collapse.

Application Instructions

🏠 Pre-Construction Treatment

1. Dilution: Mix the recommended dose of Mirage 5 SC in water (as per label instructions).
2. Application: Apply to the foundation soil, trenches, pits, and around plumbing and junctions before the concrete is poured.
3. Coverage: Typically, 5 liters of solution per square meter of surface area.

🏗️ Post-Construction Treatment

1. Drilling: Drill holes around the perimeter of the structure and internal walls.
2. Injection: Inject the diluted solution into the holes using pressure sprayers.
3. Sealing: Plug holes after treatment with cement or suitable filler.

🔳 Wood Treatment

1. Brush/Spray: Apply the solution directly to wooden surfaces and vulnerable joints.
2. Soaking: For logs or timber, soak in the diluted solution for 5–10 minutes.

Dosage Recommendations

Always follow the label guidelines, but typical dosage rates are:

• Soil treatment: 7.5 ml per liter of water
• Wood treatment: 10 ml per liter of water
