NLC termguard, cost a bomb. i have a bungalow project use their system.

the piping in my house reno was done by my indon, in fact any plumber also can do it, drill holes surrounding the house, insert perforated pvc piping with end cap, wrap with geo-textile and connect to each other from front to back.

i replace tiles for the whole house nod.gif
the conceal piping buried under the floor tiles actually serve the same function as u mention above, only difference is my floor tiles not need to drill in future, and i won't have those chemical smell inside the house when i recharge it every 2 years.

This is a fantastic idea.
Let me clarify this, This is basically the drilling method where they pump in chemicals like Agenda 25 EC / fipronil
Instead of closing the hole with cement, you leave a pipe there that can allow you to re pump in again the chemicals after the expiry date.
I heard that you need to drill a hole every ten square feet. My house is around 1650sq feet.
Does this mean I need to drill approx 165 holes. sweat.gif
How to lay the pipes to allow even distribution of chemicals? icon_question.gif
