Termites are an essential part of our pest control services.  They are one of the most destructive pests to a home or building owner.  More often a large extent of damage is carried out, without the home or building owner knowing. 

How can Termites be controlled: By far the best way of controlling termites is seeking professional help from our licensed Timber Pest Management Technicians, who are fully trained to provide you with a termite management solution to suit your requirements and needs, and that may be:

• Chemical Barrier System
• Physical Barrier System
• Reticulation Systems
• Monitoring and Interception Systems

Chemical Barriers

Chemical barrier systems provide a zone of treated soil, poisonous to termites, under footings and slabs and/or around the perimeter.  Chemicals registered for termite protection include synthetic pyrethroids (modified).

These chemicals have varied life expectancies (refer to product label & directions), depending on soil and exposure conditions and will therefore require replenishment at regular intervals.

Physical Barriers

(‘Kordon TMB’) Underslab and perimeter protection can be provided with a proprietary system where a vapour barrier membrane is laminated to a synthetic fibrous web impregnated with synthetic pyrethroid “deltamethrin”.

Termimesh Termimesh is a unique physical termite barrier using a simple concept of woven stainless mesh to stop termites entering homes through concealed entry points.

Crushed Granite (‘GranitGard’) This is a proprietary physical barrier system that can be used under slabs and/or around posts and footings. The barrier is comprised of finely crushed and accurately graded (screened) rock of particle size and voids

Reticulation Systems

Termguard Altis

Termguard systems have been purpose built to provide cost-effective treatment and replenishment barriers. Termguard systems provides a convenient, safe and reliable method of applying and re-applying approved termiticide to all types of construction. Altis is a patented Reticulation System designed to effectively treat the area under concrete slabs, for protection against infestation by subterranean termites and around the external perimeter of structures to prevent termites entering from the outside of a building.   Concept of termite Monitoring and Intervention Systems The principle of monitoring techniques is to have a susceptible substance in an aggregation device ("monitoring station") on which the termites aggregate and continue to feed once they have found the monitoring station. Monitoring stations can be placed in in-ground and above-ground situations. Placement of the stations in areas conducive to termite activity ("directed placement") enhances the chances of contact with foraging termites. A toxicant in timber or a cellulose matrix can be placed in the station or the colony may be indirectly destroyed by dusting aggregated termites. Some toxicants eliminate the colony while others suppress the colony. However, both methods reduce potential to cause further damage to timbers. Termite monitoring is most beneficial when used as part of an integrated-pest-management strategy. Colony elimination or suppression should be followed by hazard reduction and regular inspection. Monitoring should continue because only a small amount of toxin is used and does not prevent foraging by other termite colonies that may be present in the foraging range of a timber structure.
