Altis Termite Reticulation System

The Altis Termite Reticulation System is one of the best ways of preventing termites from destroying your most valuable asset. It works by emitting chemicals around the foundation of your house that repel termites.

There are a number of advantages of the reticulation system over other methods of termite control, including the fact that reticulation provides whole of home protection for the life time of the building. Also, once the initial outlay for the system has been made the re-treatment costs are reasonable and the coverage is excellent. Reticulation is far safer for you and your family than having to have the whole house sprayed.

The advantages of using Altis Termite Reticulation System over other reticulation systems are numerous. For starters, the Altis System does not use pipes with holes drilled along them, rather it uses specially designed and regulated delivery points that make sure the exact amount of the chemical is delivered to all the requisite areas. All a termite needs is one untreated patch of soil to launch their siege. That is why it is so important to have the chemical well dispersed. Another advantage is that the Altis pipes will not get crushed as they have been specifically engineered to maintain integrity. This means that your Altis Termite Reticulation System will never fail you.
Finally, the Altis Termite Reticulation System has been designed to compliment building codes and structural needs so that you do not need to compromise your house’s structural integrity.

Myths about Cockroaches


Of all the pests, the cockroach seems to be the one that attracts the most rumour and mythology. Let’s clear the air, let’s dispel the untruths that surround this creature.

The first myth is that cockroaches only live in dirty houses. This is totally untrue; cockroaches will live anywhere they can. They are just more apparent in dirty houses as the food is out in the open.

The second myth is that cockroaches are afraid of the light because they scuttle away when a light is turned on. The truth is they were asleep in the dark and turning the light on just scares them the same way it does to people.

Myth number three is that roaches are dirty creatures. This is not true; they are compulsive about cleaning themselves. In fact, much like a cat, they spend hours a day cleaning them; it is just they go into dirty places all the time.

The fourth myth is that there are albino cockroaches. This is false, the reality is that cockroaches shed their skin and while the new skin dries it is white. Within a few hours, the new skin will be brown.

The final myth is one that has yet to be proven or disproven conclusively: that of cockroaches being able to survive a nuclear holocaust. While some tests have shown they have a higher resistance to radiation than humans, the reality is that if the rest of life on Earth died, so would cockroaches, probably. No one really knows, and no one wants to know.
