What is Termimesh?
Termimesh is a non-chemical, marine
grade, stainless steel termite barrier. It
eliminates the hidden avenues termites
use to attack buildings.
History of Termimesh
• 1989 concept by Vic Toutountzis
• 1990 Termimesh Australia Pty Ltd formed
• 1992 First system installations in Perth,
Australia
• 2000 Termimesh, LLC was formed in the U.S.
• 2006 Termistops receive EPA Registration and
are introduced in the U.S.
Termistop
Termistop is the “prefab” version of
Termimesh. Termistop comes ready-to-use in
all standard pipe sizes and bathtrap blockers
to provide the benefits of green
sustainability for residential and light
commercial projects. Termistops “key” into
the concrete when the slab is poured,
eliminating termite entry into hidden areas.
As the basic, entry level to The
Termimesh System, Termistop
accreditation can be achieved online
at our website, www.Termistopusa.com.
Termistop can be purchased from
Nisus Corp. or Termimesh, LLC..
The Termimesh System
The Termimesh System forms a complete
physical barrier to termites. It is installed to not
only pipe penetrations & cut-outs, but all other
areas where termites attempt to gain hidden entry
into buildings. These areas are typically cold joints,
construction joints, and around electrical clusters
that pass through the slab. Most of these openings
are visually and physically inaccessible once
construction is completed.
The System is comprised of:
•
Marine grade stainless steel mesh
•
Termi-Parge
•
Termi-Bond
•
Stainless steel clamps & screws
Termimesh System Training
Termimesh installers must be accredited and trained
by a Termimesh Trainer. There are 7 levels of
accreditation available in the Termimesh System.
Once trained, an installer is able to customize the
Termimesh System to the unique features of each
building project. System training includes:
• Construction knowledge
• “triple folding” technique
• Manifolded pipes
• Construction joints and cold joints
• Perimeter applications

Termimesh and Concrete
Termimesh Flanges (Termistop) are designed to eliminate the gaps in
the slab created during the “thermal process” of the concrete curing.
Once the edges of the Flange (TStop) is keyed into the concrete, that
gap is no longer a viable entry point for termites. Thereby
transforming a structurally engineered slab into a continuous barrier.
Termimesh and Concrete
The Termimesh System has over 100
design specifications to address and
eliminate all gaps for termite entry into a
building. The System addresses perimeter
installations, construction joints as well as
the service penetrations to creating a
complete physical barrier to termite entry.
