Focus Termite Attractant

Focus is a natural, non-toxic, food based additive that is added to Exterra In-ground Stations. Once in contact with the soil it works with soil micro-organisms to slowly release a small, precisely determined amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the soil.

Termites love CO2. It might not be a gourmet flavour to us, but CO2 certainly attracts termites, university research has proven it. Termites are attracted to levels of CO2 that mimic those naturally given off by both rotting wood and termite nests, so the CO2 in the soil directs termites to potential feeding sites. The Focus in your Exterra Station is doing its job, directing the termites to an Exterra Station instead of your home. So with Focus producing an engineered concentration of CO2 that attracts termites directly to the large Exterra Stations, you know your home is optimally protected.

So whilst termites can simply pass between the stations used by other systems, this does not occur with Exterra. Which is perhaps why only Exterra offers a full termite damage protection warranty.

Will the Exterra Stations attract Termites to my home? Rest easy, the answer is no. The large Exterra Stations are there to protect your home and will only intercept those termites that have entered into and are actually foraging in your garden. If the Stations weren't there then termites would eventually seek out and attack your home. So there is no doubt only the elite Exterra Termite Interception System, with Focus, forms the most effective system to protect your home.
