EXTERRA Interception and baiting system – Licensed installers www.exterra.com.au
Installing Exterra Inground Stations around your home is effective and proven method to intercept the foraging termites before they enter your home.
If you have concerns about installing chemicals in the ground next to your house, or the uniqueness of your home makes the installation of a chemical treatment unfeasible, then baiting is a great alterative.The Exterra Stations with the Focus attractant is the only baiting system that creates a complete termite interception zone around your home. CSIRO studies have shown that the larger the monitoring stations, the quicker any termites in your garden will find it, instead of your home. Once you have chosen to have an Exterra Baiting System installed around your home, we’ll come out on a regular basis to check each station. If we find termite activity in any of the stations, we fill them up with the special feeding matrix – Requiem. This is a highly desirable and palatable food source that termites find more desirable than timber. We will keep replenishing the Requiem until there are no more termites feeding on it. Which means the colony that was foraging has been eliminated.Call us now and discover if this monitoring system best suits your property and situation. Exterra backs their products. |
Nemesis “Self” monitoring baiting system
http://www.pct.au.com
Nemesis baiting program is a fantastic straight forward system that the homeowner can self monitor. The mechanics of initially intercepting the foraging termites and then baiting them are similar to the Exterra system. But the cost is much lower as our labour expenses to monitor are out of the calculation.
In combination with a chemical treatment or as a stand alone preventative measure the Nemesis baiting system is proving to be a very popular product. It is probably the tangible fact of knowing that enough bait has been consumed by a termite colony to eradicate it that agrees with most homeowners.
How does it work?
Initially we come out to your place and professionally assess how many in-ground stations your property needs. The manufacturer recommends placement of between 3 to 4 meters apart around the house. We normally say a minimum of 10 in
-ground stations.
In our assessment we are always looking for the most conducive areas to install the stations. Sometimes that means right against the house or in the garden beds at the rear of the garden – wherever the termites might be foraging the most.
The In-ground stations are specially designed to be installed into the ground to intercept the subterranean termites. The station will not attract termites to your property – the termites are already there. But the two special pieces of grooved blue gum makes certain that they’ll stop and have a feed. Another popular feature of the stations is that they have a secured lid and are strong enough to be stood on.
The next stage is were you become involved. They need to be checked regularly. You need to open the lid with our specially provide lid opener and look inside. If you think you see termites then you give us a call. If you aren’t sure, take a digital photo and email it to us.
We will then arrange a time to come out to bait the affected station. The bait is effectively 99.9% pure starch, a highly desirable food source. But unbeknown to the termites it is laced with an active ingredient that affects the whole colony. They don’t even know that they are the vehicle of their own destruction!
Some FAQs
How often do I need to check? We say no more than once a month and many people do their checks every 6 weeks.
If one station has termites do I need to get all the stations baited? No, we will only bait the active station(s). And it usually only takes a couple of bait bags to effectively kill a colony.
Are the chemical harmful to children or pets? Not at all. If fact the active ingredient is less poisons than table salt.
How much support do I get? We promise to instruct you to recognise the signs of termites. As we say to all our customers – “Don’t be embarrassed, just call us and we’ll come out for free to check if you’re not sure.” Remember, you be provided with a monitoring chart and a free lid opener and all the support you need.
How long does the system last? As long as how long you want to monitor it. If a station has been baited and there is no more termite activity, we recommend that we clean it out and place new pieces of timber in it and start the process again. Remember that if you move there is nothing stopping you to pull them out and install them around your new place.
