Pre-Construction
Termite treatment in pre-construction stages includes several procedures that must be done to ensure an area of termite-free construction. Treating the soil before any slab placement with insecticides is the most common method of termite treatment. It will form a chemical barrier between the ground slab and masonry that will prevent the insects from approaching the building. The chemical treatment can be done as follows:
- Treat the bottom and sides of an excavation with chemical products prior to the onset of foundation work.
- Make holes in the earth and fill them with chemical products where slabs on grade will be built.
- Use chemicals where walls and floors intersect.
- Treat the perimeter of the construction by making holes filled with chemicals surrounding structure.
- Fill an area with chemical products in pipe beddings to secure the future of the piping
- Use specific anti-termite chemicals to treat the portion of the buildings were wooden products such as cabinets, doors, and others will be placed.
