Termite control without chemicals

An innovative solution to eradicate termites without drilling the floor and evacuating the premises has been introduced through the authorised distributor Suren Cooke Agencies and other selected strategic partners.

The Xterm Termite Baiting System provides the answer to protecting the structure of houses and buildings without any harmful effects on floors or the environment.

Director, Suren Cooke Agencies, Sheran Cooke said, "Termites cause more damage to homes around the world than tornadoes, fires and earthquakes combined - over $5 billion annually.

There are a lot of wood and wood products used in Sri Lankan households, and such an environment increases the presence of termites. Termites can infest buildings and cause damage to flooring, furniture, books, clothing, and even affect its structural strength."

The Xterm Termite Baiting system is a novel method to remove termites from a home or building and consists of plastic inserts which are installed in and above the ground around the building. These inserts contain advanced technology which is highly palatable for termites, which termites cannot resist but consume, he said.

"Where there was a lack of a proper system for termite control before, with the introduction of the Xterm Termite Baiting System, we can now control entire termite colonies in 4-5 weeks, with no hassle to the customer and no harm to the environment," Cooke said.
