Exterra Interception & Baiting System

 

The Exterra Termite Interception & Baiting System is designed to intercept foraging termites and to concentrate termite feeding in Exterra Stations. In-ground Stations containing timber interceptors are embedded in the soil around the perimeter of your building. These are inspected on a regular basis until termites are intercepted. 

 

At this point Exterra Requiem Termite Bait is added to the In-ground Station. Requiem is a Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor. A key component of a termite’s exoskeleton is the substance chitin. Without chitin termites cannot complete their natural moulting process. If they do not moult they die. This results in the elimination of the colony whilst avoiding the use of toxic chemicals in the environment. 

When the colony has been eliminated, the Requiem Termite bait is removed and fresh timber interceptors are placed in the Stations. These Stations continue to be monitored on a regular basis. 

Where termites are located feeding within your building(s), Above-ground Stations containing Requiem Termite Bait are installed. This may require inserting small screws and the creation of small access holes to enable termites to enter the Station. These Stations are removed once the colony has been eliminated, or if no feeding occurs. 

International studies have shown that Requiem has a very low level of mammalian toxicity, even at very high levels of exposure, so it does not pose any risk to you, your family, the environment or your pets. 

For your further security it is safely contained within tamper-proof Stations at all times. 

And Remember…

We prefer and recommend Termguard Reticulation System, Altis Reticulation System, Premise, Termidor, Prothor, Exterra and Kordon Termite Barrier as solutions to termite problems. This is because, in our opinion, they are the best options available and have impressive proven track records. 

We are always happy to discuss and examine other options if you prefer an alternative. 

As licensed pest managers, we are familiar with the unique features and benefits of each option, and can explain why a particular choice would be ideal for your situation.
