HOW DO TERMITES GET IN?

Termites generally enter from under the home and buildings. There are two vulnerable areas for a home/building with normal slab-on-ground construction. Up alongside plumbing or electrical pipe penetrations which penetrate the slab and into the wall cavities around the perimeter of the home. 

The Termimesh System Termite Control System is designed to prevent concealed access in these areas from ground level.

HOW DO TERMITES ENTER INTO BUILDINGS?

Nearly all termite damage of buildings is caused by Subterranean Termites. Termites, even though blind, will find their way into the buildings without being detected and they will find the cellulose in timbers. Even if they have to go through PVC, Aluminium, Lead or Copper. Typically, 80% of termite attacks originate from termites gaining entry at the construction joints and perimeter of the building, at the first course of brick or joint. Other entry points include pipe penetrations and other joints. The Termimesh System has been developed to protect all these entry points by a patented, no chemicals, no poison, dedicated engineered physical barrier that will last the life of the building.
