What Is Termimesh?
The Original Proprietary Stainless Steel Termite Barrier
Ultra-fine, TMA725 stainless steel mesh engineered to create a permanent, chemical-free physical barrier against Eastern subterranean and Formosan termites.
Unyielding Mechanical Exclusion for Modern Construction
TermiMesh is a non-chemical physical termite barrier system constructed from TMA725 stainless steel, engineered to far outperform standard marine-grade steel.
Traditional liquid soil treatments degrade over time, wash away, and can be disrupted by landscaping or soil movement. TermiMesh is installed into the structure’s foundation prior to the concrete slab being poured, which creates a permanent, maintenance-free physical boundary that protects a building against both widespread Eastern subterranean termites (Reticulitermes flavipes) and aggressive Formosan termites (Coptotermes formosanus) for the entire life of its foundation.
"TermiMesh is a non-chemical physical barrier that relies on simple, unyielding physics. The mesh apertures are too small for termites to squeeze through, and the proprietary TMA725 stainless steel wire is too hard for their mandibles to chew through, regardless of the subterranean species."
: Joel Roehling, General Manager of TermiStop USA
Under the technical direction of General Manager Joel Roehling and Board Certified Entomologist Alan Brown, BCE, TermiMesh and TermiStop systems deliver pre-construction specifications and direct-to-installer hardware kits engineered to meet the highest architectural standards.
Material Specifications & Engineering Precision
TermiMesh is engineered to withstand harsh subterranean environments while providing absolute exclusion against all subterranean termite species:
High-Performance TMA725 Stainless Steel: Manufactured from a proprietary stainless steel called TMA725, providing superior resistance to the moisture and soil conditions that can cause other materials to break down, ensuring the termite barrier stays strong and effective for the entire lifetime of the home’s foundation.
0.66 mm x 0.45 mm Aperture Weave: Woven to microscopic dimensions below the minimum foraging aperture size required for Eastern subterranean and Formosan termites to pass through.
100% Chemical-Free Protection: Contains zero toxic pesticides, produces zero chemical off-gassing, and will never leach into surrounding soil or groundwater.
Permanent Concrete Integration: Embeds directly into the poured concrete slab, creating an uninterrupted mechanical bond around plumbing penetrations and cold joints.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A: Yes. TermiMesh provides 100% mechanical protection against the Eastern subterranean termite (Reticulitermes flavipes), which is responsible for the majority of structural termite damage across the United States. The 0.66 mm by 0.45 mm mesh weave is significantly smaller than the physical body size of Eastern subterranean foraging workers.
-
A: Yes. Independent field testing by the University of Hawaii Department of Entomology proved that TermiMesh completely excludes Formosan subterranean termites (Coptotermes formosanus) with zero direct penetrations. Additionally, a 9-year evaluation by the USDA Forest Service confirmed 100% subterranean termite control across all continental testing locations.
