Early signs of termites 'inside'
are rarely found.
In fact, termites are at it for YEARS
before detected.
Invasion 'interception' is
by far the best option.
Termite inspection reports
( in plain English )
' I couldn't see any active termites and
accept no liability for termites
in areas I couldn't see*'
( basically INSIDE every wall )
* Standard inspection is VISUAL only.
' For areas not inspected an
invasive inspection is recommended '
( this means damaging your home and
YOU paying for repairs )
I am NOT pest man bashing but pointing out that they
aren't perfect and are up against creatures that have
over 200 million years of experience at concealment.

20 years ago we had fantastic chemicals to prevent termites invading homes.
They were banned because the environment ( and humans ) also suffered.
Without effective chemical barriers homes became susceptible to unseen invasions.
Regular termite inspections were useful but detection more often occured after severe damage
had already taken place. Soil barriers using newer 'weaker' chemicals were still effective but
laying down a homogenous treatment zone was problematic. In-ground termite monitoring
systems were developed to intercept foraging termites and treat them before they were able to
wreak financial havoc on home owners. The principle was simple enough. Get termites to attack
the monitoring stations buried in the ground and then use those termites to transfer 'treatment
chemicals' back to the central termite colony. The use of harmful chemicals was minimised
as only small amounts were required when activity was found. In practice it was found that
there was no way to 'attract' or 'steer' termites to the monitors. This is still the case today,
despite clever wording of manufacturers' advertisements. It is almost understandable that
major manufacturers alude to 'attraction' by their monitors. Given the average cost per monitor
of anywhere between $30 - $100, the homeowner had to be convinced that not many were
required to protect the average home. If a homeowner was led to believe that a monitor could
actually 'attract' termites then it became easier to sell a system comprising fewer monitors.
There are currently more termite monitor designs than mouse traps but every single design
has one thing in common. NONE of them can attract termites. All 'independent' scientific studies
have confirmed this to be a fact.
If you wish to 'detect' termite activity 'cheaply' in the near vicinity of your home it's easy. Simply
drive stakes of untreated wood into the ground and pull them out every so often and inspect them
for signs of termite activity. Unfortunately this method can't be used to 'treat' the main colony.
If you pull out a stake and see termites you can be certain that any other termites underground
will not return to the scene of this huge disturbance. In the knowledge that there was termite
activity close by, your only choice would be to then install monitors capable of detection
AND facilitating treatment without termite disturbance.
The obvious downside is that during your own stake in ground attempt, termites might have also
entered your home. If this happened then during your further detection / treatment attempt
termites could gain a foothold inside and establish a satellite nest. They will do this if a source
of water is discovered and your newly installed detection / treament will be of little use. After
establishing a satellite nest termites will no longer require a connection to the soil surrounding
your home. They will continue to destroy your home and ( statistically ) will only be discovered
many years later.
It makes sound financial sense to install the correct system at the outset.
In-ground monitoring is not perfect but there is no other way to detect the 'underground'
approach of home destroying termites. Termite's exhibit 'emergent' behaviour which is
unpredictable. They simply blunder around in the subsoil using lines of least resistance.
Given the fact that absolutely no termite monitors can actually 'attract' termites then there is no
good reason to spend thousands when the same result can be achieved for around one hundred.
DIY TERMALERT® is very easy to inspect for termite activity. No tops need to be removed.
You simply glance down while strolling by. DIY TERMALERT® is not 'cheap'. It's realistic
price is the result of innovative manufacturing techniques, existing manufacturers' economies
of scale, zero fancy packaging & purchasing direct from the maker.
