Termite Control

Monitoring

Monitoring your TERMITE MANSION™ is a very easy process. Simply open the system to see if termites are active. Monitoring your TERMITE MANSION™ is done once every three months. The whole process for an average sized home with 12 TERMITE MANSION™ takes less than 5 mins / four times a year.

The termite mansions are exactly that, if there are termites around your home then they will love the TERMITE MANSION™. Think of TERMITE MANSION™ as a surveillance camera for your home that can detect termites

Why is TERMITE MANSION™ the most effective termite control and removal system?

A Mansion for Termites

The TERMITE MANSION™ is specifically designed for the few species of termites that attack the timber in our homes. These Subterranean Termites are sensitive to light, changes in atmosphere, changes in temperature and have a preference for dry timber as found in your home and in the TERMITE MANSION™ (not as in the typical monitor after about a week in the ground). As a result we have given them not just a home, but a mansion.We create a mansion that termites love, so if they are in the area they will come and feed and stay for long enough to find and treat. Once you find that there are Termites in the mansion you apply Queen Killer to eradicate the termite colony.

Targets the Termite Queen

The Termite Mansion™ uses Queen killer which, revolutionises the act of killing the colony by killing the queen. Found termites in the Termite Mansion™ , you have not disturbed them as in other monitors, therefore there is no rush to bait immediately termites are found (this is unique to the Termite Mansion™).
The termites once entering the inner feeding chamber will continue to consume the timber inserts for many months. Baiting is simply making up a sachet of pre-measured Queen Killer with water and adding it to the inner chamber once the air-tight lid is temporarily removed. The Baiting process continues every 2 weeks until the queen is killed and no more termites appear.

Eco friendly and Safe for the family

The Termite Mansion™ is the safest and most ecologically favourable termite control product on the market. It only targets those termites that cause a very real threat to your home and wipes out the entire colony without placing chemicals anywhere near your house, family or pets.

Makes inspection easy

The Termite Mansion™ revolutionises the process of inspection. No longer is the lid twisted which results in the whole unit twisting and disturbing any starting or existing termite activity. The outer lid is lifted and the window is viewed, if no termites or mud is seen, the lid is replaced and we move on to the next Mansion. The process takes about 10 seconds and is performed approximately every 3 months. The average property with approximately 12 Mansions should therefore take about 5 mins to inspect, 4 times a year. The inner feeding chamber timber inserts should be (depending on ground conditions) replaced every 6 months. The inner chamber should have the lower entry stake replaced and then the Termite Mansion™ moved slightly every 12 months or after termite activity. This is a massive improvement on other systems which are very labour intensive.

New Technology and Research

Termite Mansion™ is the first design of a termite monitor based on current knowledge of termite behaviour.
In the market place, many ineffective termite monitors have been based on a 15 year old patent which may work, but it usually takes months (sometimes years) for termites to begin feeding at the stations in significant numbers and then once consumption has occurred, it can be interrupted or terminated relatively easily, putting your house at risk and giving you a false sense of security.

Two independant Chambers

The Termite Mansion™ has 2 independent chambers. The outer chamber or inspection chamber insulates and protects from light (and heat). The inner or feeding chamber encourages the termites to enter a chamber with stable atmosphere, moisture and temperature with timber inserts at the correct condition. The inner chamber has a viewing window which can be inspected without disturbing the termites by opening the lid of the outer chamber.

Please Note:

Although TERMITE MANSIONS are more attractive to termites than your home, it is important that Regular Inspections of your home are made to insure that termites were not already in your home prior to installing the Termite Mansions and conditions don’t change to make your home more attractive such as a water leak.
