Sustainably-Built, Custom Residential Project in Austin, TX
“No Chemicals” and “Reduced LiabilitY” for an Austin-based custom builder
The Muskin Company completed this residential project in Austin, Texas, as part of the Mueller Community.
From the Mueller Community website, “The 700-acre Mueller community, a redevelopment of the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, is an award-winning, master-planned urban village in central east Austin just three miles from downtown Austin. The community is designed to be a transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly model of new urbanism and sustainability.”
The Muskin Company is one of Austin’s premier homebuilders and has been a listed builder in the Mueller Community. When asked, “Why Termistops?” Alan Muskin responded, “We liked that there were no chemicals, which reduced our liability considerably.”
Material Comparison - 44 Termistops plus 1 TM Shower Blockout versus 343 gallons of termiticide that would have been applied to the soil.

Termistops are a first step towards a permanent, non-chemical termite barrier. Termistops use construction science and superior construction-grade materials to create an effective long-term termite solution.
Installed during construction to address the critical areas at the utility penetrations, Termistop makes the perfect start to any termite pre-treatment.
