Home Owners

Termites are Australia's largest natural disaster!
In Australia, floods, fires and storms pale into insignificance alongside subterranean termite damage. In the last five years these major pests have damaged over 650,000 residential homes throughout Australia.

The repair costs to home owners exceed $140 million a year, and that just covers structural repairs, not the cost of getting rid of the subterranean termites. Subterranean Termite damage is not covered by insurance.

It is estimated that one in every three homes will be attacked by subterranean termites in the life of the building, however by using HomeGuard Precision Termite Management System attack can be prevented.

HomeGuard stops, repels and kills subterranean termites once and for all.
HomeGuard is the only physical subterranean termite barrier that has ever been officially registered by the Australian Pesticides & Veterinary Medicines Authority.

This Australian-made physical barrier has been proven to block, repel and kill on contact all of Australia 's subterranean termites - the triple whammy! And what's more, it will go on stopping, repelling and killing subterranean termites for the long term.

With annual inspections, HomeGuard will continue to deliver peace of mind.

HomeGuard gives you the best of both worlds, while being kind to the environment.
Traditional physical barriers only deter termites from entering your home. They are designed to block attacking subterranean termites, so they can be controlled by chemical products later.

Chemical termite barriers are applied to the soil under and around your home. They are highly effective at killing subterranean termites, but many homeowners worry about their effect on the environment, and their family and pets.

 
HomeGuard captures the best of both systems. Installed as a physical barrier, it has the ability to kill and repel attacking subterranean termites. Plus it's environmentally friendly, completely non-invasive and won't corrode, crack or delaminate like some other physical barriers.

HomeGuard is sealed permanently in your new home's foundations, so you won't disturb it when you garden or lay paving or paths.

Backed by a 25-Year Warranty, Australian made HomeGuard is an AVPMA registered physical subterranean termite barrier - so you know it works.

The $1 million 25 - year warranty is conditional on undertaking an annual inspection of the property as detailed in the Australian Standard 3660.2, to be conducted by a HomeGuard Accredited Operator at your expense. Other conditions apply. Full warranty terms and conditions.
