PRE-CONSTRUCTION TREATMENT
Pre-Construction Termite treatment is One-time application of termiticide solution on footings, foundations, floorings, and outside perimeter walls via power sprayer to create a chemical barrier in your home or building to prevent them from future termite infestation.
Soil treatment for building under construction is coordinated with the construction of the building without any delay in the construction. Treatment starts with the application of the chemical to the excavation of the footings, treatment of the backfill of these footings as the whole is gradually filled up, and finally as an overall treatment of the floor area after the fill hasbeen made and leveled before the concrete slab is pour down.
At the time soil treatment is to be done, the soil to be treated shall be in friable condition or at sufficiently low moisture content to allow a uniform distribution and proper penetration to the soil. Application should not be made immediately after heavy rain. The termiticide solution shall be applied as a coarse spray to provide a uniform distribution of termiticide solution on the soil surface. The termiticide solution shall be applied at least two (2) hours prior to placement of concrete which will be in contact to the treated material.
How long does pre-construction treatment last? A proper pre-construction termite treatment can last anywhere from two to five years. Even though these treatments are quite effective, it is still recommended that inspect your home periodically for any damage or signs of termites. Also, try to keep the area surrounding the building free of residual wood or other cellulose based material, as these attract termites. This will ensure your structure is continually protected and will head off any potential infestations before they begin.
