The Best Time to Protect Your Home Is Before It's Built
Termite damage costs Victorian homeowners more than $300 million every year, and in most cases it’s only discovered once the damage is already done. Treating an existing home means drilling, trenching, or excavating around a finished structure — disruptive, time-consuming, and expensive.
Protecting a new build is a different story. Because the barrier goes in before the slab is poured, it becomes a permanent, gap-free part of the home rather than something added on after the fact — installed cleanly during construction, when access is easiest and the cost is lowest.
A new build is also the only chance to get a full, continuous barrier with no weak points, giving your home the strongest possible protection from day one
Termite Control Product : The HomeGuard System
HomeGuard is classified as a chemical termite barrier in a non-soil matrix combining the attributes of both chemical and physical Termite Management Systems while meeting the ‘Performance Appraisal’ requirements of the Building Code of Australia.
- HomeGuard is the first and only chemical barrier in a non-soil matrix product ever registered by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA).
- HomeGuard is the first and only single sheet termite moisture barrier containing an Australian registered termiticide in a polymer matrix.
- HomeGuard is a single sheet with the active ingredient evenly distributed throughout the matrix.
- HomeGuard acts as a waterproof membrane, a DPC and an effective Termite Management tool all in one.
