The bait matrix option is a product which can be mixed and applied to areas where termites are feeding. The bait matrix contains an ‘insect growth regulator’, which methodically kills off attacking termites. The insect growth regulator is not considered a poison because it causes no harmful effects to humans or domestic pets, yet is deadly to termites because, for lack of a better explanation, they become addicted to the product. The insect growth regulator in the bait matrix prevents the termites from moulting, systematically killing the nest.

This is how professionals kill termites without poison, which is why it can be suitable for use by the homeowner. The insect growth regulator (chlorfluazuron, hexaflumuron are both different types of insect growth regulators) is mixed into a palatable powder, which is mixed by the user into a paste and applied to live termites. The process can be tricky as there are different products of varying quality, and all have different mixing instructions to get the matrix just right.

Being a huge advocate for DIY termite treatments under the right conditions, Termicure has now adapted a professional bait matrix delivery kit so that you the homeowner can kill termites without poison, and without harm to family or pets.

Our live termite treatment kits include professional Termite Bait Matrix packs, combined with a specifically developed live termite treatment pouch which allows the homeowner to mix and apply the product in a simple and effective method.

Simply take one of our 100gram professional termite bait matrix packs, and empty it into our treatment pouch. Add 350ml of water and apply the pouch to the termite activity using the adhesive provided. The termites will feed on the bait within the pouch, and transfer the product through the colony without the need for poisons.

There are multiple other products available on the internet, by so called high quality DIY suppliers, but in most cases, these products are cheaply manufactured copies of good products, which simply don’t work. We ONLY supply high quality PROFESSIONAL termite products which are proven by the industry. We’ve developed a system for our clients to kill termites without poison, so that homeowners can have access to products which work.

As well as proven professional products, we will provide you with full support on how to manage your treatment, so that you can kill termites without poison, and without paying a fortune.

It’s that simple…and you’ll be blown away at how much money Termicure can save you.

Termite Protection is not rocket science. Determining the best method of protection can take some experience and specific termite industry knowledge to determine whether a Termite Baiting System is going to be a worthy solution over a Chemical Soil Treatment (chemical termite barrier), but after that, it’s a straightforward process. That’s where Termicure shines.

If you’ve had a professional quote by a termite specialist for a termite baiting system, then you need to speak with us. Our products are commercially available and the most commonly installed termite bait materials installed by Termite Professionals. Sentricon ‘Always Active’ Rods are the industry standard for termite baiting.

We sell packaged kits including our Termicure Termite in ground Bait Stations with the Sentricon ‘Always Active’ Rods so that you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to get the same protection from a Termite Professional. Included in our Termite Bait Kits, we provide you with a installation and management guide so that you know what’s doing from installation, right through to colony eradication.

In many cases, Termite Management companies use unqualified, and inexperienced labourers for installation and servicing of their termite bait sites to cut costs and maximise profits, so why not be the one to save maximum $$?

Don’t spend Thousand$$$ unnecessarily…speak to us at Termicure, and we’ll help Tailor a Termite Bait Kit perfect for your home.

At Termicure, we don’t attempt to re invent the wheel by producing new products in an attempt to revolutionise the termite management industry. Multinationals such as DowAgroScience, and Sherwood Chemicals spend Millions of dollars on developing products which provide Termite Professionals with the results required by the industry.

Unfortunately, most of the other DIY Termite Bait manufacturers (no names here) race off to China, and have a cheap termite baiting product produced, without the R & D required. In short, EVERY SINGLE DIY TERMITE BAIT product we tested, simply wasn’t consumed by attacking termites. What this means is that if Termites won’t take the bait, then the colony will continue feeding and spreading, and the homeowner is wasting their time and money.

At Termicure, we simply take existing products, and develop a system which simplifies the processes to make it suitable for the homeowner to successfully protect or eradicate termites from their property. WE ONLY USE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE, PROFESSIONALLY TESTED AND PROVEN PRODUCTS. That’s right, all of the bait products we sell to you, are used in vast quantities by the Professional Termite Industry.

The Sentricon ‘Always Active’ Rods which we have integrated into our Termicure ‘Active’ Packs are an extremely effective and commercially proven beyond any doubt. The Sentricon ‘Always Active’ Termiticide Rods changed the industry, and dramatically increased the success of termite baiting in Australia. That’s why we’ve integrated the ‘Always Active’ Rods into our ingrained station packs.

Termatrix Termite Bait is also a high end Termite Bait Matrix used by Thousands of termite professionals every day. We’ve integrated them into our Live Termite Treatment Packs and simply changed the delivery method to allow for easy mixing and application in small volumes. In most cases, Termite Professionals are mixing bait matrix in larger quantities which are not practical for the homeowner, so we just created a user friendly option for DIY Termite Baiting.

Both of these products are extremely successful and proven, throughout the professional termite industry. We’ve combined our bait stations and extensive experience to simplify the processes to enable successful termite baiting by the homeowner.

Our technical team carries multi state termite professional qualification, and is available to assist your needs in successful DIY Termite Treatment. if you would like to speak with our technical support team, call 1300 283 764 or email direct at info@termicure.com.au

The post Why DIY Termite Baiting fails-What you need to know. appeared first on Termicure Termite Baits.

A quality inspector will usually have a minimum of 5 years experience, and have a good understanding of construction methods. This knowledge helps them identify possible termite entry pathways and provide a homeowner with methods to reduce the risk of termite attack. Quality equipment is also an important part of the termite professionals arsenal. A good LED torch, a quality moisture meter and Microwave devices such as a Termtrac T3i are valuable to an inspector. Thermal cameras can be helpful at times, but most of the time, these items are simply a tool which looks more valuable than it really is. A knowledgeable inspector will have all the right equipment and provide sound advice. Australian Standards require a minimum list of items required by an inspector.

You have a termite inspection done annually-at the very least. In areas of high risk, or at properties with conditions conducive to termite attack, a termite inspection every 6 months or less would be recommended. Your termite inspector should evaluate the risk of your property with conducive conditions (such as drainage and moisture levels mind), existing termite management (ie termite baits and/or barriers), termite pressure on the property, and an overall risk of termite presence in the area.

Some areas carry a higher prevalence of termite presence than others…For example, The Eastern Seaboard of Australia, from Port Maquarie North is considered a high risk zone for termite activity. Areas like The Northern Rivers, Tweed Valley and Tweed Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast are all hotspots which see high levels of population, and a high incidence of termite attack on property. There are lots of other areas also, and the risk is just as high in areas where population levels are lower but there is just not the amount of reported damage.

So, getting a smaller, boutique company with a bit more accountability is recommended, and while you have your inspector on site, use their knowledge. Ask questions and clarify anything you might want to know. Get their recommendations on how to best protect your property and possibly the best question to ask, starts with… “So, if this was your home….”

Within the termite management industry, there are only a few products which professionals use confidently to protect their customers homes.

In terms of chemical treatment, ‘fiprinol’ is the most now commonly used product for spot treatment of live termites and chemical treated zones. It’s non repellency properties mean that termites are not deterred by its presence, and so termites are unknowingly infecting themselves with the lethal product 24 hrs a day, which is a simple but laborious task to implement.

In terms of professional termite baits, the main 4 professionally used systems are Sentricon ‘Always Active’, Exterra, Termatrix, and Nemisis. Sentricon has released an industry changing product which has simplified the baiting process for professionals, and provides ongoing 24hr termite protection with their ‘Always Active’ Termiticide rods, which are the attractant, AND the poison all in one product. Incidentally, this is the product which Termicure has adopted for the Termicure ‘Active’ Packs.

Exterra, has been the biggest player in professional termite baiting for some time. The stations are large, which allows for good volume of termite bait matrix to be applied, and they are easy to inspect. The Exterra Bait matrix is of the best quality, so there are limited failures which has haunted many other multinational bait producers.

Termitrix is a good product also, with large stations and a good termite bait matrix. This product has been closely modelled off many of the good features with the Exterra System, and are at a price point for the professional.

Nemisis, are a small termite bait station, with unknown bait matrix quality. Often, the matrix is fine, but then there are also instances where termites will vacate the station for no apparent reason, which can put doubt in the mind of the pest manager. This can happen with any bait matrix. The stations are also small, which limits the amount of bait which can be applied to the station, and they are also flimsy in construction. The Nemisis product is the cheaper option of the four main ones, and is often used by the less meticulous termite manager.

In any case, all of the above systems work to some degree, although some better than others.

The best advancement in the termite protection industry in the last 10 years has certainly been the introduction of the termiticide rod. Sentricon ‘Always Active’ Rods can be retrofitted into any existing Sentricon termite bait station, Exterra or Termatrix. The Nemisis bait termite stations are too small to install the ‘Always Active’ Rods, and so some modification has to be undertaken to retrofit with these baits.

The key advantage of the termiticide rods is that termites do not have to be identified in a station to begin applying the poison. The process is automated, with the termiticide rods attracting termites to them for feeding, and then also poisoning the colony for eradication. This removes the key step of having to apply a bait matrix to active termite bait stations. The process may well be already underway before you are even aware that the stations are being attacked. This removes many of the pitfalls which haunt professionals, such as contaminated bait matrix, inconsistent bait matrix, contaminated water, accidental contamination by the termite manager etc…

Once the Termiticide Rods are installed, termite protection is underway.

This is the reason that Termicure has combined their termite baiting product with the ‘Always Active’ Rods. As a well known DIY Termite Baiting product, we saw the opportunity to make the termite baiting process as fool proof as possible for the homeowner. The Termicure ‘Active Packs’ are specifically designed for the most simple termite baiting process available for the homeowner to save money.

The introduction of the revolution in termiticide rods has been a breakthrough for the homeowner, and we are riding the wave. Sentricon has changed the playing field with termite baiting, and we couldn’t be happier to be providing suitable advances directly to the homeowner at a fraction of the cost charged by the professionals.

For example, many Gold Coast Termite Protection ‘specialists’ will encourage you to install a fully service termite baiting system, which is fine if your home is built on a hill, with multiple split level sections and concealed slab joins or inaccessible areas, but if your home is slab on ground, then it’s lily that your pest manager is simply swaying your opinion to suit their own agenda. with a slab on ground home, the most common point of entry for active termites, is via the perimeter, in which case, a chemical soil treatment to the perimeter of the building would provide you with the best all round termite protection.

Many Gold Coast Termite Protection ‘specialists’, simply have not invested in the expensive spray rigs to undertake chemical soil treatments, so they’ll offer a termite baiting system and rely on their sales skills to sell it to the customer as the best option.

A termite baiting system does not require any specific training or qualifications. Guidelines do need to be followed in order the achieve a good level of coverage, but this information is quite simple to obtain. The basic principle is that termite bait stations should be placed at 3 metre intervals about the ‘drip line’ of a structure. A good explanation of termite bait placement is provided in the installation and maintenance guide in every Termicure ‘Active’ Pack.

Termite Baiting system installation CAN be a cash cow for termite professionals, however when done correctly, and properly maintained, they can provide an exceptional level of termite protection to specific structures and homes.

The basic principle of termite baiting is to provide attractive food sources at specific intervals about the property, which encourage them to feed and in turn, feeding on an impregnated food source capable of full termite colony eradication.
