SHIELDING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FROM TERMITE ATTACK
Polesaver Termi-Guard™ is a physical barrier product which protects critical assets against subterranean termite attack.
Unlike traditional termite barriers, such as wood preservatives, that degrade over time, Termi-Guard™ is manufactured from premium, marine grade stainless steel and is designed to provide continuous protection. Available to fit all pole sizes and dimensions, Termi-Guard™ offers protection against subterranean termites, ensuring your infrastructure remains strong for decades to come.
SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES AND THEIR IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE
Subterranean termites cause billions of dollars in damage globally each year, primarily by feeding on cellulose-rich materials like wood, and utility poles are prime targets for them. Termite damage will often go unnoticed until it is significant enough to cause pole failure, and by then it’s too late.
Over time, termites can develop resistance to common chemical treatments used for protection. Repeated exposure to the same chemicals allows termites to adapt, diminishing the effectiveness of treatments and making infestations harder to control. This resistance, combined with their ability to thrive in varied environments, makes termites a persistent and costly threat to infrastructure.
WHY CHOOSE TERMI-GUARD™?
Polesaver Termi-Guard™ is a marine-grade, stainless steel mesh sock that protects the subterranean section of a wooden utility pole against termite attack.
