 With the banning of organochlorines and subsequent introduction of much more environmentally friendly termite control agents in 1995, Termguard developed a range of reticulation options to meet the needs of the building industry. Initially, the termguard Ultimate System was developed as a safe, effective and environmentally friendly method of delivering termiticides to the full under slab of a new building, providing maximum protection against subterranean termite infestation. The Ultimate system conforms with the Australian Standards AS3660.1-1995, as called up by the Building Code of Australia 1996. Termguard Perimeter and Penetrations Re-treatment Systems were then developed to meet on-going market demands from within the building industry and national and local government authorities for a more cost-effective option. The system was purposely designed for the initial treatment and re-application of environmentally compatible termite control agents to the critical areas of the concrete underslab and perimeter, the areas termites are most likely to breach, when the effectiveness of the initial termite treatment has broken down. The Perimeter and Penetrations Re- treatment System enables the replenishment of approved termite control agents to all service penetrations and external perimeters of slab-on-ground construction. These systems are nationally certified by the Australian Building Codes Board (Certificate of Conformity 97/001) in compliance with the Building Code of Australia 1996.
In line with the company's on-going commitment to meeting the needs of builders through product development, the most recent system developed is the Perimeter Re-treatment and Armoured Shields System. This cost-effective system provides effective physical protection to the plumbing penetrations with a patented PVC shield welded to the plumbing penetrations, in conjunction with high quality external perimeter piping around the house providing replenish able termite protection.
Both the Perimeter and Penetrations Re-treatment Systems, and the Perimeter Re-treatment and Armoured Shields Systems are installed in conjunction with the slab laid to AS2870-1996. Termguard Systems Summary Termguard offers three key systems options to builders. 1) Perimeter Re-treatment and Armoured Shield System High quality external PVC perimeter piping for replenish able termiticide protection, with pump-up point and child proof trap, in conjunction with PVC penetrations protection shields. The system is fully installed and charged with termiticide and warranted for the life of the building*
Perimeter Re-treatment and Armoured Shields System for Monolithic Slabs in Conjunction with AS2870-1996*
2) Perimeter and Penetrations Re-treatment System Central high quality manifold with reticulated piping installed to the external perimeter and plumbing penetrations, with pump-up point and child proof trap. The system is fully installed and charged with termiticide and warranted for the life of the building*
Perimeter & Penetrations Re-treatment System for Monolithic Slabs in Conjunction with AS2870-1996*
Perimeter Re-treatment for In-Fill & Footing Slabs in Conjunctions with AS2870-1996*
Perimeter Re-treatment with Hand spray for In-Fill Slabs**
3) Ultimate Termite Proofing Central high quality manifold with complete under slab and perimeter reticulated piping providing a continuous and replenish able horizontal and vertical barrier, with pump-up point and child proof trap. The system is fully installed and charged with termiticide and warranted for the life of the building*
