Most species of termites workers don’t have eyes, making it impossible for them to see the actual location of wood. Instead, they use their senses to navigate to where they think wood should be.

Cellulose is an extremely abundant natural resource that after some trial and error, worker termites can find during their tunnelling near objects that are likely to be located near cellulose.

When a source of cellulose is discovered, the termites that discovered it will return to the colony to recruit more termites to take advantage of the new food source.

Our termite barrier system is designed to seal off hidden termite entry points in buildings, stopping termites from entering and damaging the timber inside.

Termimesh stainless steel mesh is installed during construction around the perimeter of the building and is bonded to the building substrate with Termiparge bonding agent.

Service penetrations within the building substrate are protected with Termimesh collars to stop termite entry from underneath the building. For additional protection, Termimesh can be installed underneath the entire building substrate.

Education facilities, both public and private, are transitioning to chemical-free termite management solutions. This transition is a testament to their continued commitment to student well-being.

Scientists from Stellenbosch University in South Africa have identified the oldest known active termite mounds, dating back over 30,000 years.

Using radiocarbon dating, they determined that some mounds near the Buffels River in Namaqualand are approximately 34,000 years old.

These termite hills have been active for over 34,000 years — and they hold a snapshot of South Africa's ancient climate Researchers used radiocarbon dating to determine some termite mounds in an arid region were about 34,000 years old.

Termites rely on established food sources to survive through Winter and as a result, damage to certain areas of timber will be far greater than others.

Avoiding this damage begins with selecting Termimesh, a stainless steel termite barrier that is impenetrable to termites.

Termites are notorious for their insatiable appetite for cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in plant materials. However, their diet extends beyond just timber.

Termites feed on a wide range of plant matter, including leaves, grass, roots, and even paper products made from plant fibres. This diverse diet allows them to thrive in various environments and exploit multiple food sources within your home and garden.

Even if you catch termite damage early on, it could still cost you thousands of dollars out of pocket to repair, with no financial assistance provided by your home insurance.

Reducing the chance of termites entering your home begins at construction with a once-off installation of Termimesh, a stainless steel termite barrier designed to keep termites out of homes with no chemical treatments.

Over the course of homeownership, this allows Termimesh customers to save thousands of dollars on repeat chemical treatments and tens of thousands of dollars on repairing damages that could have been caused by simply missing a single retreatment.

Termites silently damage homes, and homeowners often only discover their damage long after the infestation first occurred.

For those who find themselves in this situation, the average cost to repair termite damage in a home is $10,000!

The primary culprit for termite entry in established homes is a failure to have chemical termite sprays regularly reapplied.

Termimesh eliminates this need and only requires a once-off installation to remain effective for the lifetime of the home.

The Termimesh System is a pre-construction termite barrier that combines superior quality materials, robust installation techniques and licensed and accredited installers to protect homes, businesses and infrastructure projects from termite entry and termite damage.

The primary component of the Termimesh System is our proprietary TMA725 grade stainless steel mesh barrier, which is installed around the perimeter of the building and around service penetrations, using Termiflanges.

Completing the system is our bonding agent Termiparge, which adheres the stainless steel mesh to the building substrate.

It's important to undertake proper due diligence if you are planning to purchase an established home, even if it has had Termimesh installed.

Termites and structural defects are proving disastrous for rushed homebuyers — so how can you protect yourself?

Missing chemical termite retreatments can lead to a termite infestation like this in your new home!

Unlike other termite management methods, stainless steel barrier mesh never requires chemical retreatments to remain effective.

Termimesh helps ensure homes are protected against termites for their entire lifespan without the need for chemicals.

Each termite colony contains one main queen. However, to ensure continued egg production once the main queen dies, a colony could have several supplementary queens.

A termite queen can live and reproduce for up to 20 years depending on the species, eventually leading to the birth of millions of termites.

Termimesh is a stainless steel mesh termite barrier system that is installed during the early stages of construction.

It is manufactured from our proprietary TMA 725 stainless steel and does not require poison.

Termite colonies can contain up to several million individuals.

When worker termites leave their colony and infest a home, they spread out to locate as many reliable food sources as they can.

Termite protection stops them.

No. Termimesh does not use poison.

Instead, we install our impenetrable stainless steel mesh throughout a building to stop termite entry.

This gives you the great benefit of never having to remember to book retreatments, which are required every 5 to 10 years with poison treatments.

Termimesh never requires retreatments and provides complete protection for the entire reasonable life of a building.

Today we reflect, remember and show our gratitude for all Australians that have served our great nation in war, conflict and peacekeeping operations.

Let us never forget the immense bravery and courage shown by these individuals.

Lest we forget.

Termiflange termite mesh collars are assembled by skilled technicians, ready for installation on service penetrations that will protrude through a building's concrete ground slab.

They are positioned precisely on service penetrations so that once the ground slab has been poured, it becomes embedded in the concrete.

Installing these mesh collars prevents concealed termite entry through gaps created around service penetrations when the concrete slab naturally expands.
