China, One of the largest termite management projects ever awarded was recently granted to EXTERRA. The Government of Hunan Province in association with the World Bank, selected EXTERRA to realise environmentally responsible termite protection for the nation’s buildings. EXTERRA will install more than 180,000 In-ground Stations and protect more than 900 kilometres of buildings!
China was the first nation to take action under a World Bank project that helps nations investigate and utilise alternatives to termiticides and other pesticides deemed damaging to the environment. The World Bank with the financial support of the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) has been working with the Chinese Government to develop solutions for their serious termite problems.
“We often heard from those testing the different baiting systems that the EXTERRA system intercepted the termites faster and gained control of the colonies much quicker due to EXTERRA’s more palatable Requiem Termite Bait,” says Dr Jiasi Wang, Asia Pacific Region Technical Representative for Ensystex.”
“Ensystex is honoured and privileged to be a partner in this historical operation,” says David Nimocks, Chairman of Ensystex, “China is showing a real concern for their environment and we are seeing many wonderful initiatives progressed. The environmental safety and effectiveness of the EXTERRA system are perfectly suited for fostering a more responsible approach and ensuring the safety of China’s infrastructure projects. EXTERRA uses just a teaspoon of a termite bait, less toxic to people than table salt, compared to the thousands of litres of toxic liquid soil poisons that are traditionally used.”

Kosciuszko National Park When an infestation of Coptotermes acinaciformis was discovered at the Kosciuszko HQ and Educational Centre in the Snowy Mountains it was natural that the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service would turn to Exterra and High Country Pest Control with their reputation for professional service as the preferred solution. Given the sensitive environment the use of toxic chemicals was prohibited of course. And of course Exterra resolved the problem and the termites were eliminated.

Australian Wildlife Conservancy has just made what is thought to be the largest private conversation buy-out of land in Australia, if not the world. AWC has bought two huge cattle stations in Queensland and South Australia totalling more than 837,000ha. The acquisitions are considered critically important because the land adjoins national parks on the Cape York peninsula and on the South Australia/Queensland border. Together the national parks and the conservancy areas make up 81,124sq km, an area larger than Tasmania. The stations will now be managed for wildlife conservancy only.
