Little green air lines?

Jun 03, 2008 5 Replies

Found this question on another forum... Any ideas...



"I have noticed that a lot of the homes going up around my development have little green or white (air?) lines that run around the windows and doors in the frame of the house and all run back to a central location. They seem to be about the thickness of about 16 ga. or 18 ga. wire but they are hollow plastic like air lines. I have noticed these with many builders, not just one. What are they for?"


Sounds like a centralized pest control system. The pest control company hooks up a poisonous gas to the central connection hub outside. This allows complete bombing of the entire home all at one time. Since most infestations are inside the walls & attic, this greatly increases penetration to hidden nests. This has been around a long time. Companies that work with builders, like Ranger American would prewire upscale homes as an expensive option.
