Periodic pesticide treatment around buildings can be a significant health and environmental hazard. Green alternatives obviate the need for pesticide treatments. Examples include physical termite barriers and bait systems that apply toxins in a much more targeted way than broad-based pesticide application.
Underseal Termite-Resistant Membranes

While resilience—the ability to weather natural disasters and maintain livable conditions in the aftermath of disruptive events—is mostly an issue of building design and community preparedness, certain products can help. For example, almost all heating systems require electricity to operate even if their primary fuel is oil, gas, or wood pellets; systems that allow operation even if grid electricity is not available are more resilient in the event of power outages. Rainwater harvesting, water storage, composting toilets, and waterless urinals contribute to resilience not only in drought-prone areas but also during power outages in any home dependent on well water. Solar water heating systems that can operate without utility power, and back-up power systems that are more energy-efficient than standard generators, may have this attribute.
Underseal waterproofing membranes from Polyguard resist termites, radon, pesticide migration, soil fungi, puncture, and tearing while providing waterproofing and stress relief for slabs and concrete or IFC walls. Underseal Protected Wall Membrane is a peel-and-stick sheet membrane applied to the outside of finished flat concrete walls. Underseal Blindside has a nonwoven textile top layer that bonds with the concrete when monolithic walls are poured.

Sheet waterproofing is usually made from rubberized asphalt, isobutylene-isoprene rubber, or EPDM. Products listed here are manufactured using alternative materials, such as the more environmentally benign HDPE.
