HOW EXTERRA WORKS AGAINST TERMITES
Step 1.
EXTERRA starts in the ground...
​
The first step of using EXTERRA is to install In-ground Stations around your property where termites are likely to be foraging for food. The Stations contain eucalypt timber interceptors that numerous, independent, studies have shown are the termites preferred food source.
Step 2.
...or under the concrete...
​
If your property is surrounded by concrete, then the special EXTERRA In-concrete Station is used. This has a stainless steel cap that seals flush with the pathway.
Step 1
Step 3
..and inside your home quickly.
Above-ground Stations are the preferred approach when termites are already in your home. Bait is placed in the safe and sealed Station when it is installed. Above-ground Stations speed up the process of colony elimination. After the termite colony is eliminated, the Above-ground Stations are removed.
Step 4
When the termites are intercepted...
​
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 when the REQUIEM Termite Bait is added either.
Step 5
...and now the REQUIEM
Termite Bait goes to work.
​
REQUIEM Termite Bait 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, local studies show that once termites start feeding on REQUIEM they stop feeding on the timbers in your home! REQUIEM is also non-toxic to you and your pets.
Step 6.
Termites can't resist REQUIEM, leading to the colony's quick demise.
​
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 consumption of REQUIEM. This ensures that the entire colony is eliminated.
THE SAFE environmentally friendly way to eliminate termites
How Exterra" Stations protect your home?
​
All of us would like to think of "terminal" as the best way to describe a termite's fate. Well by installing Exterra Stations around your home, a series of Termite Terminals, you are assured that termites will be eliminated and your home continually and safely protected.
The Elite method
The Exterra Termite Interception and Baiting System offers an elite standard in termite management. It is certainly long term, effective, family-safe and environmentally responsible termite management, utilising Exterra In-ground Stations with Focis Termite Attractant".
Termites Love CO2
It might be a gourmet meal to us, but minute levels of CO2 certainly attract termites. University research has proved it. Termites are attracted to levels of CO2 that mimic those naturally given off both rotting wood and termite nests, so the CO2 in the soil directs termite to potential feeding sites. The focus Termite Attractant in your Exterra Station is doing its job, by naturally directing the termites to an Exterra Station and not your home.
Whats Focus Termite Attractant
Focus Termite Attractant is a natural, non-toxic based additive that is added to Exterra Station. Once in contact with the soil it works with soil micro-organisms to slowly release a small, precisely determined amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the soil.
