Pre Construction Building or Renovating

Termites play a vital role in the natural environment by recycling wood. Unfortunately they can’t tell the difference between trees and the timbers of your home.

Termites are a serious economic pest in Australia; they can cause major structural damage to buildings that can cost thousands of dollars to repair.

Household insurances do not cover damage caused by termites. Termites cause more damage to homes in Australia than fire, flood and other accidental causes.

The Sunshine Coast Regional Council requires termite management to be installed during the construction of all new buildings and renovations.

PestCare offers several flexible termite protection products that offer guaranteed termite protection.

Altis Termite Protection
Read more about Altis

What is Altis? It is a patented Reticulation System designed to effectively treat the area under concrete slabs, for protection against infestation by subterranean termites and around the external perimeter of structures to prevent termites entering from the outside of a building.

What’s different about Altis? Unlike any other system which uses pipes which have been perforated, the Altis system uses flexible unperforated pipes, which have emitters fabricated into the pipe. These emitters distribute chemical at a measured rate, and is of particular advantage in difficult areas such as clay sites, uneven sand pads, and step-downs. The termiticide is induced at low pressure, which combined with controlled rate emitters maintains an even distribution at all points along a pipe. Because of this “even flow” it is not necessary to balance each line in the system against other lines. Lines do not need to be of similar length, as is the case with other systems. A further benefit is that each line can be run for up to 50 metres, making it possible to treat the entire circumference of most residences from one pump up point.

The use of emitters ensures no grit, roots from vegetation, or other form of intrusion will clog the pipe and render it ineffective. Another unique, patented difference in the Altis system is that the pipes are laid over a perforated plastic membrane, beneath the builder’s membrane. In this way chemical is distributed evenly and reduces the risk of any area being untreated.

When is it Installed? Altis is installed prior to the laying of the concrete slab for the underfloor system and the perimeter system is installed prior to the installation of the concrete or paved pathways.

Trithor for power 3

One: It’s a barrier

Sandwiched by a rugged plastic membrane, Trithor is a physical and moisture vapour defence.

Two: It Repels

Termites naturally flee when sensing Trithor’s impregnated deltamethrin.

Three: It Kill

If an unlikely termite penetrates Trithor it dies on contact with the impregnated deltamethrin.
