| GREENSBORO, NC -- The California Department of Agriculture has issued registration for IMPASSE® Termite Blocker, the first pre-construction product to prevent termite access at some of the most common termite entry points. With this registration, Syngenta may now offer IMPASSE Termite Blocker for commercial sale in California. IMPASSE Termite Blockers protect utility penetrations and bath trap areas from termite invasion, and are ideal for residential construction. Termites often use gaps along pipes in the slab foundation as highways into a home, but IMPASSE Termite Blocker seals long-term protection right into the foundation, ensuring defense at these common entry points. Installed by an authorized pest management professional prior to the pouring of a home’s concrete slab, each IMPASSE Termite Blocker can be installed and tightly sealed in about one minute, so there is no interruption to the construction process. Once the concrete is poured, IMPASSE Termite Blockers become sealed for an unprecedented level of termite protection. Syngenta also announced the relaunch the IMPASSE Termite Blocker Web site, http://www.impasse.com, as an informative resource for builders, homebuyers and pest management professionals. |
