Exterra gets to work in the ground
The first step of using Exterra is to install In-Ground Stations around the building at points near where termites are likely to be foraging in the ground for food. The stations contain non-toxic food made of a timber termites prefer to eat.
Termites have been 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 the termites are not disturbed during bait application either.
So it’s time to put Requiem to work
Requiem 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 Australian studies show that once termites start feeding on the Requiem they stop feeding on the timbers in your home! Requiem is also non-toxic to you and your pets.
Termites can’t resist Requiem which leads 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. |

| Termidor Chemical Barrier |

What is Termidor?
Termidor is owned by BASF based in Mount Olive, New Jersey USA. It is the biggest selling termiticide in the USA and is now used in Australia, Japan, France and most other countries where subterranean termite infestations are a severe economic problem. In fact, Termidor has been used in more than a million homes with safety and effectiveness.
How Termidor Eliminates Termites
Termidor is applied by licensed pest controllers to soil areas abutting a building in order to eradicate termites as they attempt to gain entry into the building. This provides immediate protection and reduction of risk of on-going expensive structural timber damage from a termite infestation, of a kind not available from alternative termite baiting systems. In addition, termites in contact solely with a lower concentration area, such as, in the out-reaches of a Termidor treated soil area, will not detect it's debilitating effect until a few days later - enough time to routinely transfer the Termidor active ingredient to other termites they contact. This delayed accumulative lethal effect of Termidor, aimed at eliminating the entire colony, is discussed in detail later on.
Termidor works quite differently from other Termiticide soil treatment products which are repellents, in effect designed to repel or keep termites away from a treated soil area, rather than killing them. This means any minute gap in the treated soil can be detected and exploited by the termites to gain entry in the building. This is a major short-coming of the old-fashioned termite control alternatives, far too often, with financially disastrous consequences.
Termites tunneling in higher concentration Termidor treated soil areas abutting the building are killed outright, within a few hours. Termites tunneling in the outer reaches of a Termidor (lower concentration) treated soil area, cannot detect the Termidor chemical which readily sticks to the termites body. These termites remain unaffected for a few days, before sudden death occurs. This delayed lethal effect provides enough time for the Termidor chemical to be transferred back to the central colony nest to infect other termites. The "carrier" termites are able to readily spread the Termidor chemical to other termites during regular physical contact with other termites in the colony, particularly when working together in close proximity, grooming and feeding other termites, a regular function of their daily life. Termites cannot detect the Termidor chemical as it has virtually no odour, taste or smell to the termites. Termites cannibalize or carry away dead termites killed by the Termidor on their bodies, further spreading Termidor's deadly effect to other termite colony members.
Long-Term Protection
As with any termite control program, your property always remains susceptible to future attack from new termite colonies or other established colonies in your area. The good news for the homeowner is that the Termidor soil treatment chemical will remain in place for many years even after the existing attack on your property has been eliminated. In brief, Termidor treated soil acts on an on-going basis to prevent termite entry through a treated soil area into a building or other protected structures. Such a chemical soil barrier under and around the external perimeter of a building is a pretty big target for the foraging termites to hit, rather than scattered bait stations around the building!

| Nemesis Bait System |
 |
What is Nemesis?
NEMESIS is an Australian termite bait system designed to attract and eliminate termite colonies in a safe non invasive way. It uses an insect growth regulator (IGR), Chlorfluazuron, as the active constituent in the Nemesis bait. Active termites feed on the highly attractive bait food source & trans locate the IGR to other members of the colony, at levels undetectable by those termites, until the colony collapses. Nemesis termite bait is a registered product under the requirements of legislation administered by the Australian Pesticides and Vetinary Medicines Authority.
The system uses a number of unique stations for in ground & above ground interception of active termites.
How Does Nemesis Work?
First a professional pest manager will inspect your home for termites, and if they are found or if the risk of possible activity is high, the Nemesis termite bait system will be recommended.
If termites are found, Nemesis above ground stations are placed directly over the active areas; this engages the termites and results in faster colony elimination.
Otherwise, Nemesis in ground stations are deployed around the perimeter of your home. Termite attractive timber inserts are placed inside these external stations and are monitored on a regular basis for termite activity.
Once the Termites have entered the Nemesis stations and are feeding on the timber, the bait is placed into the station. The Termites quickly start to feed on the Nemesis bait, taking it back to the nest. The Termites cannot detect that the bait is slowly affecting their ability to grow and develop, stopping the termite colony being able to reproduce, there fore eliminating the nest.
Why should I choose this system?
The Nemesis Termite Monitoring and Baiting System:
Is an innovative and proven approach to termite control.
Is an effective solution that is less invasive or disruptive as a treatment process compared to more traditional chemical methods.
Is a visible method and the process is transparent, allowing for a co-operative approach to termite control with your chosen pest manager.
Greatly reduces the risk to non-target insect or animal species, by targeting termite colonies.
Reduces the risk of environmental damage, especially compared with chemical treatment methods.
Can be used either as a localised treatment to a specific area of your home, or as a full installation to the perimeter.
Can be applied to other structures on your property, such as sheds, gazebos, decking or fences.
What are the costs?
The NEMESIS Termite Bait System is a competitive termite control method when compared to other more traditional means of control. We recommend that you carefully assess the quotation given to you by a professional pest manager, taking into account the quality and extent of the service offered, including follow-up services. The cheapest price does not necessarily mean you will be receiving the best treatment for your premises.

| Timber Safe |
 |
Termites can literally eat you out of house and home.
Australia has the most destructive termites in the world. A recent CSIRO survey revealed more then one in every five homes had termite damage, with an estimated¹ damage bill of more then $100 million every year.
What do you know about Termites in Australia?
Chances are – very little. In fact, you may not even know you have termites in your home, until it is too late. Our most important termite species live in underground nests containing up to two million wood eating termites. That’s a lot of hungry mouths that travel fifty metres, or more, in search of food, and your home provides them with a smorgasbord to feast upon. The trouble is, as the termites travel underground, and enter your home by concealed mud tunnels, you may have no idea they’re ready to devour your place.
Termites get right inside the timber to feed. So they may be feasting away, hidden in your walls, or hollowing out the support timbers in your roof, without you knowing. They could also be dining on the timbers in your subfloor. And please don’t thing just because you homes is built on a concrete slab you’re safe from marauding termites. Termites build shelter tubes over the edge of slabs, or enter through shrinkage cracks around pipes. When they’re hungry, and that’s all the time, nothing will stop a termite grabbing a quick lunch.

TREATMENT DETAILS
When we treat your home, internally we spray all fixed Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom, Laundry & Linen-press cupboards, window sills, doors, skirting boards, cornices of ceiling, all major appliances (Fridge, Stove, Dishwasher & Washing Machine / Dryer) and garage.
Externally we spray under gutters and eaves, around windows and doors, perimeter of home, small garden shed and if you wish, your clothesline, letterbox and bins.
We can hold no responsibility for cockroaches that breed and live in personal effects. Unfortunately we do not cover personal effects, therefore a service call fee is applicable if the cockroaches are found living in these articles. Example – Electrical Appliances, Tables, Phones, Computers, Lounges, Pictures, inside boxes etc. If you request the treatment of an electrical appliance, no responsibility will be taken by Natraspray if the products used to control the cockroaches cause them to become faulty.
Please Note: Painting any surface of your home which has been treated will result in the product being void. High pressure cleaning and cleaning with any harsh chemicals will have the same results. Once our products are completely dry, they become residual, so normal duties can commence. Example – Vacuuming, Mopping Floors, dusting etc.
Now you have Total Security
If during the next twelve months termites enter your home or you renovate and discover termite damage – you don’t have to panic because you will be covered for the treatment and repairs. And if you sell your home the warranty is fully transferable.

BIFLEX CHEMICAL BARRIER
What you’ll see us do as we use Biflex to protect your home against termites
In protecting against termites, the basic idea is the same in all homes: treat the soil around the house to form a barrier that termites cannot penetrate. Because termites can move through the tiniest cracks in concrete or metal, the barrier must be absolutely continuous. Even the smallest break in the barrier can let termites in.
This means we’ve got a lot more to do than just treat around the perimeter of your house. While that takes care of the biggest stretch of the defence we put up, there are lots of other places that need special treatments.
Here are the things we do to make sure the barrier is continuous. Not all of the activities are listed will be done as we customize our treatment depending upon the structure treated, termite species and activity, product label restrictions and State laws. In some situations, specialized equipment may be used.
Step 1 is a thorough inspection to look for activity, identifying the termite species involved and to note conditions conducive to termite problems. We will also indicate to you that corrective measures we recommend you take in addition to our treatment activities.

WE’VE GOT THE TECHNOLOGY, NOW YOU’VE GOT THE CONTROL
How safe is your home?
We have all heard of termites, and hope that we never have to deal with the damage and associated expense of an infestation. However do you know that –
80% of Australian homes are at risk of termite attack
On average, termites live in every 3rd property
More then 150,000 homes are damage by termites each year
Most termite damage is invisible
Termite inspections and treatments have increased by over 50% in the last 7 years
Termites, otherwise know as white ants, are subterranean social insects. Their colonies can number several million individuals so the damage they are capable of doing can be devastating.
How much damage do termites cause?
Unlike other disasters that can destroy your home, termite damage is not sudden, violent, or obvious. Because termites work in mostly concealed, the signs of infestation only become noticeable over time and it is often only after significant damage has occurred.
Methods of protection and control
Traditional methods have involved placing chemical barriers around the property. These chemical barriers are designed to deter termites from entry into the house structure. The challenge with chemical barriers is that they deteriorate over time and if not replenished every 3-5 years, result in gaps appearing in the barrier that will be found by termites, thus rendering useless. Chemical barriers also do not get to the heart of the threat, the nest, hence ensuring colony survival and constant threat to your property continues. Furthermore, chemical barriers do not provide the opportunity for ongoing monitoring.
How does Sentricon II work?
Installed strategically and discreetly in and around the home in the prime foraging areas, the monitoring station provides a window into the world of the termites. The random and continuous foraging of termites allows them to find and therefore be detected in the In-Ground stations.
Once detected, the monitoring device is removed and replaced with Sentricon IG Termite Bait. The termites feed on this bait on mass, tunnel back to the nest all the while unaware that the bait is detrimental to their survival. Termites periodically shed their skin (Moult), and this process is interrupted once ingestion of the bait occurs. An inability to moult results in death, and ultimately leads to the elimination of the colony.
What makes Sentricon the best solution?
Sentricon II is your best solution because it is the only system that continually protects your home as discreetly and silently as the termites that can attack it. In effect, it provides the security and peace of mind you associate with other home protection devices, such as a house alarm system.
Furthermore, Sentricon II should be your chosen method of control because –
It has been existence in Australia and overseas for more then 10 years providing proven termite colony elimination.
There is no drilling, digging or disruption to your home
It is safe for your family, pets and the environment
It eliminates the termite colony completely unlike chemical barriers that only repels the localised activity.

TERM A TRAC
Termatrac is a breakthrough development in the detection of termites, invented and developed in Australia using technology similar to radar. Termatrac is the answer to detecting termites through timber, plaster board, brick or masonry with no interference to the building material or termite activity.
Termatrac emits signals which penetrate the material that is being searched. Any termite activity interrupts the signals and Termatrac relays this information to the operator, allowing them to pinpoint the termites in an instant. The operator can then track the termites back to the entry point and assess the extent of the termite activity without disturbing them.
