Nasutitermes Exitiosus usually live in a mound that protrudes 30 to 75 cm above the ground, 30 to 120 cm across the base, and is more common in southern and eastern parts of Australia.

Termite Control

Premise protection doesn't depend of a repellent barrier and actually eliminates termites rather than just repelling them. This is because termites cannot detect Premise.
