Exterra
Welcome To The Future Of Termite Management
When all else has failed, Exterra has proven successful.
Your home has subterranean termites & has been treated by various pest controllers over a number of years. Thousands of liters of toxic chemicals have been injected into the ground around the foundations of your house, unknown quantities of highly toxic arsenic dust have been puffed into door frames, skirting boards, architraves & various structural timbers inside your home. Until recently, the almost exclusively used method of termite management was the application of a chemical termite barrier.
Not any more - Welcome to the future of termite management - termite baiting with Exterra
Don't just Exclude Termites From Your Home - Eliminate Them. As much trouble as they can be to apply properly, termite barriers are still only a passive approach to termite management. This is because termites must attempt to enter a building protected by a barrier to be affected by it. In other words, barriers simply lay in wait for termites to attack - slowly degrading day by day.
But Exterra is proactive, go get 'em before they get your home, form of termite management. Exterra doesn't just kill termites when they try to enter your home. It can actually eliminate the termite nest or colony & all of it's members right in the ground where it lives. Even before they have a chance to think about your home as a food source.
How Exterra Works
House under attack from termites.
The first step in the Exterra Management program is a thorough inspection of your home by our fully accredited and licensed pest manager. Our Authorised Exterra Pest Manager will determine the nature of the threat to your property and recommend cultural changes you should make as well as determining optimal placement of Exterra Stations. |

Exterra Stations are placed around your property.
Stations are checked regularly. If termites are in your home, Above-ground Stations are installed. Above-ground Stations allow your termite problem to be dealt with immediately, right at the point of termite attack. This can mean a significant decrease in the time to colony elimination. A hand-held computer and barcode scanner are used to ensure the quality of your program. |
Termites are intercepted by Exterra Stations.
Termites are easily detected in the Exterra Stations. The unique (patented) design of the Exterra Station allows for termites to be seen without disturbing them. This is very important. And the termites are not disturbed during bait application either. |

The Exterra Station is baited with Requiem
Requiem is added without disturbing the termites. This is vital to achieve quick and consistent results. Requiem is highly palatable to termites and they readily consume it in preference to timber. In fact Australian studies show that once termites start feeding on Requiem they stop feeding on timbers in your home! Requiem is also very low toxicity to you, your pets and the environment. |
The Termite Colony is eliminated by the Requiem.
The termites feed on the Requiem and take it back to the colony where it is fed slowly throughout the entire colony. Since the termites die gradually , they do not associate the colony's demise with the Requiem. This ensures that the entire colony is eliminated. |

The colony is eliminated....
Fresh interceptors are placed in the Stations and 'Peace of Mind' monitoring continues. Your property always remains susceptible to future attack from new termite colonies or other established colonies in your area. To relieve this constant threat the Exterra System works on an ongoing process of monitoring, baiting and eliminating. This makes its use ideal as an ongoing early warning system. |
