Systems employs Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles. IPM is an
ecologically-based pest management strategy that centres around detailed
assessment of pest populations and the conditions under which they proliferate.
The strategy uses complementary techniques (physical, cultural, biological,
educational and chemical) with a priority on non-chemical control measures.
Effective IPM requires on-going monitoring and assessment of the effectiveness
of control strategies.

Treatments
Termites of economic significance are treated via direct nest treatment or
establishment of trapping and baiting programs. The control agent chosen will
be the one most appropriate for the type of termite and size of infestation.
The lowest hazard strategy will be chosen. Where hazard is determined as
HAZARD = TOXICITY X EXPOSURE
No liquid chemical soil barriers are used.
