Termex Insecticide (Imidacloprid 30.5% SC) by Rallis India
The "Tata Trust" Solution for Total Termite Colony Elimination
Get rid of termites for good with Termex, a premium termiticide from Rallis India (Tata Group). Unlike older sprays that smell bad and only repel termites, Termex is an odorless, "non-repellent" solution. Termites cannot detect it, so they walk through the treated soil, become infected, and carry the poison back to their nest, eliminating the entire colony.
Perfect for: Pre-construction soil treatment, post-construction home protection, and controlling sucking pests in agriculture.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Long-Lasting Protection: Stays active in the soil for years to prevent future attacks. Retreatment is rarely needed within the first 5 years.
- ?️The "Domino Effect": Infected termites transfer the poison to the Queen and nestmates, destroying the colony from the inside out.
- ⏳Gap-Free Barrier: Contains special "Lateral Soil Movement" technology that spreads sideways underground, ensuring no gaps are left for termites to sneak through.
- ?️Odorless & Solvent-Free: A water-based formula that has no strong chemical smell, making it safe and comfortable for indoor use.
- ?Dual Action: Excellent for protecting buildings from termites AND protecting crops (Cotton, Paddy, Sugarcane) from sucking pests.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Termex creates a "Killing Field" rather than a barrier. It attacks the central nervous system of insects. [Image of Imidacloprid mode of action]
- Undetectable Entry: Because Termex is non-repellent, termites enter the treated soil zone without realizing it is poisonous.
- Systemic Infection: The chemical binds to the termite's nerve receptors. It doesn't kill instantly, allowing the termite time to return home.
- Colony Elimination: Through grooming and food sharing, the infected termite passes the poison to others. This chain reaction wipes out the entire nest.
In Agriculture: It is absorbed by the roots and moves up the plant (Systemic), protecting leaves from hidden sucking pests.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop / Area | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop / Use | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Termite Control (Buildings) | Depends on Area | As Needed | 2.1 ml | NA |
| Cotton / Paddy | 24 - 30 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.5 ml | Refer Leaflet |
| Chilli / Vegetables | 50 - 60 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.5 - 0.75 ml | Refer Leaflet |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For buildings, apply during construction (foundation/plinth) or drill holes in floors for existing homes. for crops, apply at early infestation.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well. For termites, mix 2.1 ml of Termex in 1 Liter of water (or approx 10.5 ml in 5 Liters).
- Coverage: When drilling floors, space holes 30 cm (12 inches) apart. This ensures the chemical spreads and connects underground to form a perfect seal.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near bees or water bodies.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Termex smell bad inside the house?
No. Termex is a Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation that is water-based and solvent-free, making it virtually odorless and safe for indoor application.
2. How is it better than Chlorpyriphos?
Chlorpyriphos repels termites (they just avoid it). Termex is non-repellent; termites touch it, get infected, and kill the whole colony via the "Transfer Effect." It also requires a much smaller dose (2.1 ml/L vs 15 ml/L).
3. Can I use this for plants in my garden?
Yes. While famous for termites, it is also highly effective for sucking pests like Aphids and Whiteflies on cotton, chilli, and vegetables.
4. Is there an antidote if swallowed?
There is no specific antidote. Treatment is symptomatic. Important: Do NOT use Oximes (like 2-PAM) as they can make Neonicotinoid poisoning worse. Seek medical help immediately.
5. Who manufactures Termex?
Termex is manufactured by Rallis India Limited, a trusted subsidiary of the Tata Group, ensuring high purity and quality.
