Shutting out Termites without chemicals

Eliminating Termites the Environmentally Friendly way

Making a decision about how you are going to protect your biggest investment, your home from termite attack? You need to read this.  

The Exterra Termite Interception & Baiting System is the world's most effective Termite Baiting System. 

Termites live in large colonies underground. When treating termites, you must ensure that all members of the colony are eliminated or you risk that in the future they will return to do further damage. This is where the Exterra System excels, targeting total colony elimination.  

How it works

1. Our qualified, experienced and Exterra accredited technicians install tamper proof Exterra stations around the perimeter of your property at regulated intervals.
2. Exterra's FOCUS Termite Attractant is then added to each station. The FOCUS Termite Attractant releases CO2 into the soil, creating a protective barrier and luring termites into the stations and away from your home.
3.  Stations are monitored by qualified, experienced and Exterra accredited technicians every 6-12 weeks. Termites are easily detected due to Exterra's unique design.
4. Send in the bait. Exterra's REQUIM Termite Bait is added to the active stations. Termites then take the bait back to the nest where the colony is eliminated.

• Unlike other baiting systems , the unique FOCUS Termite Attractant lures termites away from your home and into the stations.

Termidor, Termites & Flooding

In recent weeks, South East Queensland has been battered by torrential downpours. It is, unfortunately heavy rain and flash flooding is common in our the warm and humid sunshine state. We understand that many homeowners are concerned with the effects that such downpours have on the overall effectiveness of a Chemical Termite Treatments.

BASF, Manufacturer of Termidor have recently released the following information in relation to this matter.

To help address these concerns and answer questions they may have regarding the recent floods and their termite treatment, BASF developed a simple Q&A sheet.

Efficacy of Termidor® after heavy rain:

• The key to the suitability of any termiticide in a wet environment is the propensity to leach through a soil profile upon a wetting event. The main measure for ability to leach is the product’s water solubility. Termidor has very low water solubility and therefore will not leach through the soil. Termidor tightly binds to organic matter in soil, which also limits its movement
• All of these physical and chemical characteristics contribute to Termidor remaining active in the treated zones close to the foundations of the structure for as long as the soil and foundations have not been compromised or the normal time span for degradation has elapsed. This includes soils that have been located in flooded areas.
