This is another big issue. Do you really want number of liters of toxic chemicals sprayed inside your home just to control the termite infestation? Conventional way of treating infestation is by drilling wooden structures and flooding it with toxic chemicals. Others would blow powder but again effect is very limited. We knew it because we have been using it before. It is true that thousands of termite workers are hit and killed by this process and others will try to escape once they sense the chemicals and will look for another safer food source. But about 75% of their population are still lurking under your home and their queen continues to lay eggs replacing what was killed in just a few days. All these termite workers will come back to do future damage to your home because there was no termite colony elimination.

With Exterra, the problems of termites attacking the wooden structures in your home is solved with total termite colony elimination by the application of termite bait less toxic than a table salt. Unlike the conventional process where occupants are exposed to toxic chemical evaporation 24/7, Exterra Baiting is very safe, effective and the best so far invented.

Many properties are sorrounded by concrete paths or aprons. This requires further extensive treatment. Ideally the pest manager should cut away the concrete around your building and flood the soil as we described previously.

Of course this is difficult and expensive to do, so usually the pest manager just drills holes through the concrete, and then injects chemical through the holes which are later sealed up. The manufacturers advise that these holes need to be drilled every 150 -300mm. That's a lot of holes and a lot of expense for you. So again some companies drill fewer holes and you get even less of a treatment, since there are gaps remaining for termites to get through. This means your home is not properly protected and you are wasting your hard-earned money. As you don't know what is underneath the concrete, you don't even know where the chemical went. Trials have shown the chemical often doesn't travel very far!

Exterra uses in concrete Stations to ensure the protective and effective barrier around your home is complete and unbroken.
