Give Termites The Blast With Termi-mite


 
Welcome to the Termi-Mite Website

The Termi-Mite Termite Monitoring and Treatment System

Have you visited this site because you’re worried about the likelihood of Subterranean Termites attacking your home?....... Don’t feel alone ....Termites attack one in every three homes in Australia every year. That’s a frightening statistic. 

The damage caused by termite infestations annually runs into hundreds of millions of dollars. Latest figures put it at $910,000,000 .... that's higher than the damage bill for all the fires, floods and storms put together.

Interestingly Brick and Steel Framed Homes are just as susceptible, if not more, to white ant (termite) damage due to the moisture traps under the slab and termite access to weep holes in brickwork and foundation gaps.

So the question isn’t “Should I do something to protect my home from Termites?” but
   
“What is the best Termite Control Method I can use to Prevent Termite Damage before it occurs?”

 
Due to the fact that all the “heavy” chemical treatments like deildrin and heptachlor, which would help to ward off termites for about 30 years, were banned about 14 years ago, the incidence of termite attack on homes has skyrocketed. This has seen a flood of Termite prevention methods on the market, produced by major pharmaceutical companies and Pest Control companies alike.

Governments and councils have made Termite proofing of concrete slabs and barrier protection mandatory for new buildings and renovations and yet still those pesky termites are finding ways to get around the barriers. 

There are many different forms of modern termite control but Termite Monitoring and Treatment (baiting) systems are heavily recommended by all relevant authorities as the first line of defense, even if you already have a physical or chemical barrier installed. 

Termi-Mite has developed a DIY system that not only works brilliantly but is  the most cost effective on the market. On top of that, over time, the Termi-Mite System will save you thousands of $$$ in monitoring and treatment fees nearly all other systems incur and there are no contracts.
 
 
 
Why DIY?

Most of the enormous cost associated with monitoring and baiting systems comes from installation and an annual monitoring fee. Whilst we offer installation for those who can’t physically do it themselves, are too busy or are well off enough to pay someone else, we figure, if you can bury a plant, you can dig these in yourself. It’s dead easy. We will even advise you as to their best positioning.

One of the most common complaints we hear is that the paid monitoring service tends to drop off, especially in the second year, particularly if you are lucky enough to have no major termite activity that year (the termites will turn up but not always straight away). 

As the Termi-Mite Monitoring and Treatment System is designed for really easy DIY monitoring (you don’t have to be Einstein to monitor your Termi-Mite system) you will not only save the huge annual fees but will always know if termites are about. We give you log sheets, a positioning grid map and easy to follow instructions. We even send you monthly e-mail reminders so you don’t forget to check. 

The only thing you can’t legally do is to buy or administer the modern Termiticides without a pest control license and proper treatment requires comprehensive training. That’s when you call us. Even then you will find us much less expensive as we subsidise the treatment phase.
 
 

What makes The Termi-Mite Termite Monitoring and Treatment System so different?

“The Termi-Mite Termite Monitoring and Treatment System” was designed by one of Australia’s most qualified Entomologists (insect expert), specialising in Termites. He has been in the Pest Control Industry for over 35 years and has used his extensive experience and knowledge, CSIRO Research, 12 years and at least 10 prototypes to design the perfect “Termite Trap”. He realised that what you have to give termites is a safe, dark moist environment where they can feed in large numbers without fear from attack by predators or exposure to air, heat or cold. 

Termites also need protozoa from plant mould to digest their main diet which is cellulose. Cellulose is what termites extract from the timber and wood products they attack and in a concentrated form can be detected by termites much more easily than normal timber. Finally there needs need be a way to monitor for activity and administer the termiticide without disturbing the termites as this will quickly lose the critical numbers required for treatment.

All the problems I mentioned before have been eliminated in this unique system. 

The Termi-Mite Termite Monitoring and Treatment System is made up of two separate designs. The dual chambered "Termite Coffins" are the main monitoring and treatment stations and the "WAM" (White Ant Monitors) are the secondary monitoring and treatment stations to give superior coverage without breaking the bank. 

Together they outperform all other single chamber and pure timber systems. To see what we mean follow the link to "about the design"
