Polesocks Goes National
Polesocks LLC announced the expanded availability of its subterranean termite barrier for wood poles beyond its home market of Hawaii. Utility companies and other users of wood utility poles throughout the United States can now protect their poles from damage by subterranean termites. Made of marine-grade stainless steel wire mesh shown by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be 100% effective at stopping termites, a Polesock is a pesticide-free physical barrier that has protected thousands of wood poles in Hawai‘i without failure against the Formosan termite, saving pole owners many millions of dollars while helping the environment.
