Subterranean Termite Resource Center: Eastern Subterranean & Formosan Species Guide

The definitive technical resource for stopping native Eastern subterranean termites and invasive Formosan termites using proprietary stainless steel physical boundaries.


Authoritative Structural Defense Against Subterranean Threats

Subterranean termites represent the single greatest biological threat to building foundations across the United States. From the widespread Eastern subterranean termite (Reticulitermes flavipes), which causes the vast majority of annual structural damage nationwide, to the aggressive, invasive Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus) expanding across Texas and the South, traditional chemical soil treatments leave properties vulnerable over time.

Curated and technically verified by Joel Roehling, General Manager of TermiStop USA, and Alan Brown, BCE (Board Certified Entomologist), this resource center provides verified physical boundary solutions engineered to defeat all subterranean termite species.

"Chemical soil treatments fade, but physical boundaries provide unyielding, mechanical exclusion that cannot wash away or chemically degrade. Integrating a marine-grade, high-alloy stainless steel mesh system directly around vulnerability vectors during a concrete pour or plumbing retrofit blocks the physical entry path permanently for all subterranean species."

: Joel Roehling, General Manager of TermiStop USA

New Austin ADU Case Study!

An Austin homeowner wanted to add a new Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to their property. They needed an effective termite-prevention option that wouldn't delay the project schedule or require them to dump gallons of pesticide on their property.

Foam + Termites = Big Problems

Recent building trends, like Passive House and Insulated Crawl Spaces, are increasingly using foam to improve energy efficiency. This foam can provide termites with a hidden highway to your home.  

Termistop's Termite Control System was featured in the November - December 2024 edition of Green Builder Magazine. The publication highlighted Termistop's role as a green building component in the VISION House Austin project.
