Termites are a serious problem here in Australia and you need to protect the biggest investment you may ever make… your house.
Termite damage is estimated to cost around 1 billion dollars annually in Australia, which household insurance does not cover. Termites may already be in your home; in which case you have to act now before they cause severe structural damage that’s very expensive to repair. There are quite a few cases where homeowners have had to walk away from their homes because termite damage has been so extensive. Homeowners usually don’t know they’re there until substantial damage has been done.
Termite Barriers To The Rescue
Termites eat anything made from wood inside your home and may even damage electrical wiring and plasterboard walls, just leaving a paper-thin layer of paint. Unfortunately, by this time they are right through your home, no matter how your house is constructed. Even steel-framed houses are not immune to termite attacks. The termites can still get in and destroy wooden roof trusses, furniture and wood trim such as architraves… in fact, anything made of wood in the house. Quite simply, termites come to your home looking for food. They get there by travelling through the ground from a nest that may be a hundred metres away, and then they build mud tunnels into your house. They can squeeze through cracks the thickness of a piece of paper. A chemical barrier treats the soil around the perimeter of your house so if termites approach they cannot enter the structure due to the continuous barrier that has been installed around the building.
Pre-Construction Termite Barrier Installations
Chemical barriers have differing life expectancies depending on the type of chemical used. Our technicians are very experienced and knowledgeable and will offer free quotes and advice on what is the best type of treatment that will protect your house from termite infestation.
We offer a full range of products to both builders and homeowners who wish to protect new and existing buildings from termite infestation. Whether it’s a new house or an addition we can protect the structure from termites. We can supply and install both chemical and chemical-free systems to suit all situations.
Termite Interception & Baiting Systems
Your EXTERRA termite interception and baiting system is there to protect you from the invasion of termites, continually.
EXTERRA stations are placed around your property to intercept termites. Once intercepted, REQUIEM™ termite bait is added to the large EXTERRA station. The termites feed on the REQUIEM™ and the colony is eliminated easily and quickly, right at the point of termite attack. The elite EXTERRA termite interception and baiting system, with its unique termite interception zone encircling your home is THE ONLY baiting system that creates a complete termite interception zone around your home. This complete and continuous zone is created by using our patented Focus Termite Attractant™ in each station so termites are intercepted before they reach your home.
EXTERRA Termite Barriers
EXTERRA is different. A truly safe, environmentally friendly way to eliminate termites, EXTERRA uses termites natural instincts against them, eliminating the attacking termite AND their whole colony. Even after the colony is eliminated, EXTERRA stations guard your home using the natural power of CO2, monitoring for future invasions without the ongoing need to reapply chemicals. By using EXTERRA, you are establishing a long-term, termite solution that's easy on both you and the environment.
This innovative, eco-friendly REQUIEM termite bait system uses a termite bait containing less than ¼ of a gram of an active ingredient – an ingredient which itself is less toxic than table salt! Rather than strong chemicals being sprayed around your home, EXTERRA uses REQUIEM termite bait in a closed and locked station, ensuring it’s kept securely away from your family, household pets and other animals. Lured by natural eucalypt timber interceptors – a termites’ preferred food source – the termites take the bait back to their nest, and the colony is eliminated.
Termatrac
Comprising of a termite detection radar, remote thermal sensor and moisture sensor, coupled with data storage and reporting, the Termatrac T3i is the most advanced device in the world developed purely to detect, confirm and track the presence of termites.
Termite risk areas are identified using the remote thermal sensor with laser guide and/or the built-in moisture sensor. Termatrac's patented termite detection radar is then used to accurately detect, confirm and track the presence of termites, plus precisely locate nests, mud-leads, and entry points to ensure a cost-efficient and effective treatment can be applied to only the areas required.
Reticulation Systems
Reticulation systems have been extensively tested and successfully used over the past two decades and have been specifically designed to offer long-term termite management and damage prevention systems.
Together with today’s environmentally acceptable termite control agents, termite reticulation systems have been the perfect partner to provide an effective replenishable barrier, yet minimise the total impact of the environment.
TRITHOR Termite Protection
TRITHOR is a flexible termite management system that may be installed to perimeters, cold joints and in many difficult and complicated situations including multiple penetrations and step downs. TRITHOR is quickly installed and is completely concealed from view. The polymers used in TRITHOR are inedible to termites and, since TRITHOR also acts as a moisture barrier, it further reduces the attractiveness of a property to termites.
TRITHOR consists of a geotextile blanket impregnated with deltamethrin. Our unique Thermo-compression Technology™ then locks the deltamethrin into the blanket before it’s laminated top and bottom with a rugged plastic membrane. This complex entrapment process ensures that the deltamethrin remains trapped within the inner blanket. This means it’s non-hazardous to anyone handling the product or who comes into contact with it. The control agent in TRITHOR, deltamethrin, is an insecticide that is modelled on the natural pyrethrin produced by the chrysanthemum daisy, nature’s own cure for insect problems. Consequently, it’s low in toxicity to warm-blooded animals, though deadly to termites and other insects. Better yet, deltamethrin both kills and strongly deters termites.
Termidor
Termidor has delivered unparalleled termite control since it was first introduced onto the Australian market in 2002. Termidor provides fast elimination of termites and is a highly effective, long-term residual termite treatment that when applied by a professional pest technician can protect your house for many years.
Thanks to Termidor’s unique transfer effect, termites don’t even need to ingest or contact Termidor in order to die from it. All they need to do is make contact with another termite that has already contacted or ingested Termidor. This is because termites that come into contact with Termidor collect it on their bodies. They then become carriers that spread Termidor to other termites and eventually back to the nest. Termites are social insects that live together in large colonies and feed and groom each other. The transfer effect makes most of this and it’s a key reason why no other termiticide performs as well as Termidor.
NOVITHOR
The NOVITHOR Pesticide-Free Termite Protection System is a tested and approved termite protection system that creates an impenetrable barrier to prevent the ingress of subterranean termites.
The NOVITHOR Pesticide-Free Termite Protection System can be used during the construction phase, as well as post construction. NOVITHOR creates an impregnable barrier that termites cannot chew through or damage, and that is resistant to their secretions. In fact, NOVITHOR Termite Proofing Resin and NOVITHOR Termite Proof Cementitious Parge are granite-like when set.
The NOVITHOR system provides eco-friendly, cost-effective and pesticide-free protection from termites. Once applied, the NOVITHOR Pesticide-Free Termite Protection System isn’t an eyesore on the completed structure; indeed the finished barrier is invisible to the naked eye.
