HomeGuard GT granular termicide from Exopest Control

HomeGuard GT is another integral part of the HomeGuard system that should be used in combination with HomeGuard sheet and HomeGuard Collars. HomeGuard GT fits situations where the installation of the traditional HomeGuard sheet products is not suited to the building design under construction. The application of the granule suits construction situations where the voiding of cavity moisture is a key requirement as it facilitates drainage of cavity moisture while maintaining the integrity of the termite barrier. It is also ideal in situations where the installation of HomeGuard Sheet is not possible because the frame of the structure has already been erected.

The product is a novel plastic granule formulation containing 1 g/kg of bifenthrin. The bifenthrin is distributed entirely throughout the plastic granule where it exhibits repellency and insecticidal activity against all termite species. The granule does not exude bifenthrin, rather its activity is expressed throughout the polymer granule matrix.
