Insect and microorganism control for buildings

Abstract

The intrusion of insects into a home or similar building is controlled by utilizing insect and/or microorganism controlling plastic materials in the construction of the building. The insect and/or microorganism controlling plastic building materials are manufactured by first blending one or more plastic resins with one or more insect and/or microorganism controlling chemical agents to form a blended plastic resin/insect and/or microorganism controlling chemical agent material. The blended plastic resin/insect and/or microorganism controlling chemical agent material is then utilized to manufacture plastic films, sheets, non-woven fabrics, woven fabrics, insulating foams, flooring materials, wall covering materials, and the like utilizing conventional manufacturing techniques.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method of protecting buildings from intrusion by microorganism comprising the steps of: 
 blending at least one plastic resin with at least one microorganism controlling chemical agent;    utilizing the blended the plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material to manufacture an microorganism controlling plastic building material; and    utilizing the microorganism controlling plastic building material in the construction of a home or similar building.    
     
     
         2 . The method of protecting building from intrusion by microorganisms according to  claim 1  wherein the blended plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material is utilized in the manufacture of an microorganism controlling plastic film, and wherein the microorganism controlling plastic film is installed as a vapor barrier beneath the subfloor of a building.  
     
     
         3 . The method of protecting buildings from intrusion by microorganisms according to  claim 1  wherein the blended plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material is utilized in the manufacture of an microorganism controlling plastic film, and wherein the microorganism controlling plastic film is utilized as a wrap surrounding the walls of the building.  
     
     
         4 . The method of protecting buildings from intrusion by microorganisms according to  claim 1  wherein the blended plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material is utilized in the manufacture of an microorganism controlling non-woven fabric, and wherein the microorganism controlling non-woven plastic fabric is utilized as a wrap around the walls of the building.  
     
     
         5 . The method of protecting buildings from intrusion by microorganisms according to  claim 1  wherein the blended plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material is utilized in the manufacture of plastic foam insulation, and wherein the microorganism controlling plastic insulation is utilized between the structural components of the building.  
     
     
         6 . The method of protecting buildings from intrusion by microorganisms according to  claim 1  wherein the blended plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material is utilized in the manufacture of wall covering, and wherein the microorganism controlling wall covering is utilized on the interior walls of the building.  
     
     
         7 . The method of protecting buildings from intrusion by microorganisms according to  claim 1  wherein the blended plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material is utilized in the manufacture of floor covering, and wherein the microorganism controlling floor covering is utilized on the interior floors of the building.  
     
     
         8 . The method of protecting buildings from intrusion by microorganisms according to  claim 1  wherein the blended plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material is utilized in the manufacture of plastic film, and wherein the plastic film is deployed as an microorganism controlling plastic wrap around a batt of insulation.  
     
     
         9 . The method of protecting buildings from intrusion by microorganisms according to  claim 1  wherein the blended plastic resin/microorganism controlling chemical agent material is utilized in the manufacture of woven plastic fabric, and wherein the woven plastic fabric is deployed around the exterior of a building to prevent the entry of microorganisms therein.
