Altriset is a new reduced-risk non-repellent termiticide that provides excellent control of subterranean termites with
minimal impact on the environment. Altriset will eliminate termites in less than three months and will protect your
home or business for more than 5 years when used in accordance with the label. Once termites come into contact
with Altriset, their ability to feed on wood is halted within hours, resulting in death. The product is slowly passed
throughout the colony by touch and contact, causing total colony elimination. Altriset's new class of chemistry
provides a high-performing and long-lasting residual termite control product that is also safe to use--In addition to
requiring no signal word on the label, DuPont Altriset Termiticide is the first and only liquid termiticide to be
classified as reduced-risk under the U.S. EPA reduced-risk program: Altriset requires no special safety equipment,
represents no health risk to humans or domestic animals when used as directed, and is safer for the environment.
Active Ingredient: Chlorantraniliprole 18.4%
Target pests: Subterranean Termites
For use in: For Outdoor Use Only as an in-ground termite treatment around structures.
Application:
Mix 0.34 oz. per gallon of water to make a 0.05% solution (recommended)
for subterranean termites.
For 25 gallons of finished solution.....Mix 8.5 oz. Altriset + 25 gallons
water.
For 50 gallons of finished solution.......Mix 17 oz. Altriset + 50 gallons
water.
For 100 gallons of finished solution......Mix 34 oz. Altriset + 100 gallons
water.
Pet safe: Yes. Altriset is labeled Reduced-Risk by the EPA and presents no health
risk to humans or domestic animals when used as directed.
Yield: 1 bottle (34 oz.) will make 100 gallons of finished solution and treat 250
lineal feet around a home.
Manufactured by: DUPONT
Is Altriset Better than Termidor?
Altriset introduces a whole new type of chemistry that is similar but different than Termidor SC. Both products are
transferred throughout the termite colony for total colony elimination. However, unlike Termidor, Altriset is the
first and only termiticide labeled Reduced-Risk by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Product Features:
- Eliminates termites in less than three months when used in accordance with the label
- Halts termite feeding within hours
- Provides residual protection for more than five years
- Non-repellent chemistry is indiscernible to termites
- Behavioral impact on termites enhances translocation throughout the colony
- Mode of action like no other termite control product
- Excellent environmental and toxicological profile
- First and only reduced-risk liquid Termiticide
Now there is a non-repellent termiticide that provides excellent
control of termites yet has minimal impact on the environment. The
team of scientists at DuPont has developed another new class of
chemistry with this latest innovation, providing high-performing
termite control and soil residual for ongoing structural protection.
DuPont™ Altriset™ the first soil-applied liquid termiticide launched in almost a decade is in a
class of chemistry with a mode of action like no other termite control product. Laboratory and
field study results prove Altriset™ halts termite feeding within hours while providing termite
elimination for critical long-term structural protection. Plus, Altriset™ offers an excellent
toxicological and environmental profile. In addition to requiring no signal word on the label,
DuPont™ Altriset™ is the first and only liquid termiticide to be classified as reduced-risk under
the U.S. EPA reduced-risk program.
Excellent Environmental Profile:
Dupont Altriset is a highly effective way to control termites while also minimizing impact on the
environment. Altriset also has an excellent environmental and toxicological profile – requiring
no signal word on the label.
Mode of Action:
Altriset is the first termiticide product featuring an active ingredient from the anthranilic diamide
class of chemistry. The class was inspired by research into the insecticide properties of a natural
substance found in the bark of trees and shrubs of the genus Ryania. Calteryx, the active
ingredient in Altriset, is a synthetic compound that affects the ryanodine receptors in the insect
muscle fiber. These receptors regulate the flow of calcium into the cell cytoplasm to control
muscle contraction. Altriset binds to the ryanodine and causes it to remain open, resulting in a
depletion of calcium ions that disrupts muscle contraction. Altriset was designed to target
ryanodine receptors of specific insects such as termites.
