How Exterra works

Termite Catchers exterra logo

Your House under attack from termites.

The first step in the Exterra Management program is a thorough inspection of your home by a fully accredited and licensed pest manager. As an Authorised Exterra Pest Manager we will determine the nature of the threat to your property and recommend cultural changes you should make as well as determining the 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 in the target areas. Above-ground Stations allow your termite problem to be dealt with immediately, right at the point of termite attack. Exterra’s unique Focus Termite Attractant is added to your Stations at this time. This ensures the termites are attracted into the Station and do not pass between them and enter your home. This is unique to Exterra. This can result in the significant decrease in the time needed to eliminate the colony. 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 bait is then added to the station without disrupting the termites. This is vital to achieve quick and consistent results. Requiem is a non-toxic highly palatable food source for 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 practically non-toxic to your Family, 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 timber 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, so 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. And with Focus Termite Attractant there to ensure the termites find the Stations before they discover your home – you have the total security package.
