Company Background

Altis Pty Ltd is an Australian company that has patented and developed innovative technology in termite protection systems in a cost competitive, effective; replenish able variety of termite barrier systems. We are wholesalers although always pleased to pass any retail enquiries to suitable retailers.

The Altis termite reticulation system (sometimes known as irrigation systems) solves the problem of effective long term termite control at a reasonable total cost but with a level of even distribution unable to be achieved by its competitors. When we add to these advantages from flexible pipes which will not stop working even when in clay and the ability to fit to awkward situations, we have a powerful tool.

Altis is a high quality system accurately dosing termite control through controlled rate emitters (drippers) thus minimising termiticide usage, and also prevents exposure of chemicals on site to workers, spray drift to neighbours, and exposure of pets to chemicals.

Hand spraying provides only short-term relief but Altis provides a long term solution, with no messy spraying or drilling of the house in the event of termite infestation. The system is simply re charged by an accredited pest control company.

The system provides effective replenishment with no health risk for the life of the building and will enable the use of even more environmentally safe termite control agents that will become available in the future.

The materials in the system are fully warranted for 50 years subject to annual inspections, replenishment at the intervals specified by Altis accredited licensees and applied as per chemical manufacturer's specifications.

Altis achieved Australian Building Codes Board national certification after an exacting examination of the system. This was a continuation of 13 years of development to gain the highest stamp of approval that can be given in the country. This system was recently discontinued and a new scheme called "CodeMark" building product certification scheme replaces the old scheme.

Altis have been successful in gaining a CodeMark certificate of conformity. The certification covers the following BCA (Building Codes of Australia) clauses:

1. Volume One: BP1.1 and BP1.2 (limited only to actions by subterranean termites)
2. Volume Two: P2.1 (limited only to actions by subterranean termites)
3. State Additions: Volume Two: QLD P2.1.1 (limited only to actions by subterranean termites)

Our achievement in reaching the highest measure of quality in Australia is such that at 4/12/07 we are one of only two companies in reticulation / irrigation systems to achieve the rigorous quality standard required for a Certificate of Conformity.

CSIRO technical opinions 145 and 222 are continually updated and current with the latest standards. Therefore CSIRO has appraised all Altis termite reticulation (irrigation) systems as being fit for the purpose for which they were designed. CSIRO is a member of WFTAO (World Federation of Technical Assessments Organisation).

Altis was the first system to ever go on label, approved by National Registration Authority (NRA) now Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA).

We were supported by Dow Elanco, now Dow AgroSciences Aust. Ltd. To achieve this landmark it was also the first ever Australian system to be tested, with the assistance of CSIRO, Department of Agriculture, Department of local government and a variety of expert witnesses.

We have a number of effective and capable Australian distributors in place already but are constantly on the look out for more support from Australian retail agents. We are also interested in enquiries from International retail agents (usually Pest Control Companies) or distributors.
