About TermiStop USA: Pioneers in Permanent Physical Termite Exclusion

Technical Leadership & Entomological Expertise

At TermiStop USA, our technical standards and product specifications are driven by decades of combined pre-construction, field mitigation, and biological expertise:

• Joel Roehling (General Manager, TermiStop USA): Directs strategic operations, commercial blueprint spec reviews, and direct-to-installer distribution networks across North America. Joel works directly with architects, general contractors, and structural engineers to integrate physical barrier specs into pre-construction project workflows nationwide.

• Alan Brown, BCE (Board Certified Entomologist): Serves as Director of Quality and Technical Training. A Board Certified Entomologist with 27 years of industry experience, Alan verifies the scientific rigor of our physical barrier protocols, ensuring complete exclusion against widespread Eastern subterranean termites (Reticulitermes flavipes) as well as aggressive invasive species like the Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus).

Proven by Independent Government & Academic Field Studies

TermiStop and TermiMesh physical barrier technology is validated by extensive long-term research conducted by leading federal and university entomology departments:

• USDA Forest Service 9-Year Study: In field evaluations conducted across continental United States test locations by Project Leader Terence L. Wagner, stainless steel mesh barriers achieved 100% control against subterranean termites with zero plot penetrations through the mesh, including high-pressure test locations in Mississippi.

• University of Hawaii Formosan Study: Independent field trials directed by Dr. J.K. Grace at the Department of Entomology proved that Formosan subterranean termites (Coptotermes formosanus) failed to penetrate the steel mesh or pipe penetration sleeves across all test units under severe termite pressure.
