There are a number of top quality pest control businesses operating in the northeast of Australia and one of the best is Cairns Termite Specialists, run by long-term local and termite guru John O\u2019Grady<\/strong>. Mr O\u2019Grady\u2019s passion and years of experience in the pest control industry, in the\u00a0north of Australia, has led him to believe that fipronil is\u00a0the best termiticide to deal with the significant year round termite pressure in the region. Many rely on the excellent performance of the leading fipronil termiticide, but more recently Fipforce Aqua<\/a> has also proven to deliver the results.<\/p>\n

A chance encounter with John Ralph<\/strong>, Sherwood Chemicals<\/a>\u2019 general manager, in 2013 saw Mr O\u2019Grady receive a bottle of Fipforce Aqua termiticide and insecticide to trial.<\/p>\n

Mr O\u2019Grady recalled, \u201cI was on a termite job and got a call from John Ralph to say he was in Cairns (again) and wanted to call in on the job and introduce himself. He was very polite and seemed very different to the other reps I had met over\u00a0the years. His knowledge of formulation chemistry was what\u00a0I remembered most, and the fact that he gave me a 2.5L bottle of fipronil to trial, with no pressure to commit to anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr O\u2019Grady\u2019s long-term experience treating termite infestations with the leading fipronil product had delivered outstanding results at great value, meaning happy customers\u00a0\u2013 he saw no need to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt grateful for the bottle, but as I was comfortable with the product I was using at the time \u2013 a product I had trusted for years, I believed nothing could compare. I honestly did not have the faith to trial a new termiticide on one of my clients\u2019 jobs, in particular in a region that experiences termite pressure 12 months of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I used it on my own house, which was due for a retreat. I also had a severe ant problem in the backyard. As I poured the Fipforce Aqua from the tank the first thing I noticed is that it was a white liquid, different to my normal fipronil product. The product dispersed immediately in the water and did not foam excessively in the tank. 24 hours after treatment all the ants were gone, as I would expect with fipronil, so I immediately gained some confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe product was very blameless when left overnight in a tank. It remained stable and when the tank was pumped it left a clean tank \u2013 no residue was left behind in the tank\u00a0or in the filters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results I have achieved when using this product over the past three years (for example in the job pictured above) at the recommended rate, and to the Australian Standards, demonstrated to me that Sherwood Chemicals’ commitment to quality control and testing prior to releasing this product, was representative of a very meticulous industrialist. I cannot fault the cost against the results, when success is the prerequisite.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince being introduced to Sherwood Chemical products, I am delighted to advise that my experience expending these products has been tremendous and financially rewarding for my business and my customers,\u201d concluded Mr O\u2019Grady.<\/p>\n

Sherwood Chemicals is the leading formulation specialist when it comes to suspension concentrates. Having the ability to develop and formulate products in-house, means that termite specialists like Mr O\u2019Grady can have the confidence that Fipforce Aqua will deliver the required performance and offer great value for money. Pest managers don\u2019t need to worry about the product \u2013 they can focus on the job and the client.<\/p>\n
