Pest managers looking to expand their offering have the opportunity to train as accredited Greenzone installers.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Quickly becoming established as a termite and insect barrier solution for builders, construction professionals and pest managers around Australia, Greenzone<\/a> is now accepting accreditation applications from licensed pest managers and installers looking to enhance their businesses and embrace new technology.<\/p>\n

Nearly 50 licensed pest managers and businesses have completed the online training to become accredited Greenzone installers since the launch of the product in August this year.<\/p>\n

Greenzone is an innovative integration of a compressible foam substrate with bifenthrin, a pyrethroid insecticide and termiticide, resulting in one product with three functions: as a termite barrier, an insect barrier and an expansion joint foam.<\/p>\n

Expansion joint foam is essential in any form of concrete construction as it allows slabs to expand and contract without cracking. Greenzone Termite & Insect Barrier can be applied to all elements of construction that also require a termite barrier in order to comply with Australian Standard AS3660-2000 Termite Management, Parts 1 and 3.<\/p>\n

Greenzone has been designed with cost efficiency, waste reduction and smarter project scheduling in mind and is suitable for residential, commercial and industrial applications.<\/p>\n

How do you become an accredited installer?<\/h2>\n

The Greenzone accreditation course is open to all licensed Australian pest managers and involves four simple steps:<\/p>\n

Step 1. Online form
\n<\/strong>Fill out the online form on the Greenzone Barrier website. This verifies that you or your business holds a pest management license that permits an operator to work with pesticides formulated for the control of pest animals in a commercial or domestic capacity.<\/p>\n

Step 2. Training manuals <\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the pest management license number is verified, Greenzone support will email through the comprehensive installation manual, including training modules.<\/p>\n

Step 3. Knowledge test<\/strong><\/p>\n

After studying the provided material, applicants will be required to answer a simple, open book questionnaire to ensure that both the safety and installation procedures of Greenzone are understood. This test can be taken as many times as required.<\/p>\n

Step 4. Certification<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upon successful completion of the test, pest managers and installers will receive a certificate with accreditation details, which means they are free to purchase the product and offer Greenzone as part of their business services.<\/p>\n

Dave Bregazzi<\/strong>\u00a0(pictured) and Brett Bowey<\/strong>, a\u00a0non-executive director\u00a0of Greenzone and the general manager of Termite Solutions in Victoria, found the Greenzone accreditation training to be thorough and straightforward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Greenzone manual and corresponding training materials are a good, succinct read,\u201d said Mr Bowey. \u201cA licensed pest manager will find the material simple to follow \u2013 logical and full of diagrams, plans and clear direction \u2013 not just a complex document full of jargon and technical terms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Purchasing Greenzone once you\u2019re accredited<\/h2>\n

Greenzone is currently available via distributors Agserv, Garrards and Globe. The product is available in 25-metre rolls (10mm thick and 100mm wide) available for purchase in packs of 2 x 25-metre rolls.<\/p>\n

The Greenzone $2 million warranty<\/h2>\n

A $2 million warranty is applied to the installation and functionality of Greenzone if fitted by an accredited Greenzone installer. Only a pest manager who has completed the Greenzone training and holds a Greenzone accreditation license number can offer the security that comes with this warranty.<\/p>\n

Support on the road<\/h2>\n

The Greenzone support office is based in southeast Melbourne and is managed by a dedicated team of technical officers on standby to answer any installer queries and provide advice or assistance to installers and pest professionals if required.<\/p>\n

Mr Bowey added, \u201cWe have installed Greenzone in a number of residential and commercial projects and have successfully managed complex penetrations and construction joins on site.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a quality product \u2013 flexible, easy to install and customisable, which is exactly what you\u2019re looking for in a pre-construction termite and insect repellent barrier. Greenzone is set to make a significant contribution to the Australian construction industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
