Frequently Asked Question
1. What is soil treatment for termites?
Soil treatment involves applying a termiticide to the soil around a building’s foundation to create a chemical barrier that prevents termites from entering the structure. This treatment is commonly used to protect buildings from subterranean termites.
2. How does soil treatment work?
The termiticide is applied to the soil, and it binds to the soil particles. When termites attempt to tunnel through the treated area, they come into contact with the chemical, which either kills them directly or disrupts their lifecycle.
3. How long does soil treatment for termites last?
We provide warranty for soil treatment for 5 years by default. However, regular inspections are recommended to ensure that the barrier remains effective.
4. Can soil treatment be applied to an existing building?
Yes, soil treatment can be applied to both new constructions and existing buildings. For existing buildings, the soil around the foundation is treated by drilling holes and injecting the termiticide ( Corrective Treatment)
5. Why do termites come from the soil?
Subterranean termites live in the soil because they need moisture to survive. The soil provides them with the environment they need to thrive and gives them access to wood and other cellulose materials in buildings above ground.
6. Will rain wash away the termiticide after soil treatment?
Most modern termiticides are designed to bind with soil particles, allowing them to remain effective even after rain. To ensure the chemical stays beneath the surface during construction, it is recommended to pour the concrete slab soon after the treatment.
7. What is the difference between a pre-construction and post-construction soil treatment?
Pre-construction soil treatment is applied before the foundation is laid to prevent termites from entering the structure once it’s built. Post-construction treatment is applied after a building has been completed and requires drilling into the soil around the foundation to inject termiticide.
8. How many liter of chemical is needed for 1 m³ of soil treatment?
For soil treatment against termites, the standard application rate is typically 5 liters of termiticide per cubic meter (1 m³) of soil.
9. Can soil treatment be coordinated with other construction activities?
Yes, soil treatment is often coordinated with other construction activities. It’s best to apply the treatment before the foundation is laid, and other activities should be scheduled around this to prevent disturbance to the treated soil. Communication between contractors and pest control professionals is essential.
10. What happens if there is a delay in construction after soil treatment?
