Pre-Construction Treatments

Pre-construction termite treatments are preventive measures taken during the construction phase of a building to protect it from future termite infestations.

• Soil Treatment: Applying termiticides to the soil before laying the foundation. This creates a chemical barrier that prevents termites from entering the structure.
• Foundation Treatment: Treating the foundation walls and floor slabs with termiticides to prevent termites from entering through cracks and joints.
• Borate Wood Treatment: Treating wood with borate-based solutions to prevent termite infestations. This treatment is applied during the construction phase.

Post-Construction Treatments

Post-construction termite treatments are applied after a building has been constructed and termites have been detected.

• Chemical Barriers: Applying liquid termiticides to the soil around and under the building to create a barrier that termites cannot cross.
• Baiting Systems: Installing bait stations around the property. Termites consume the bait and share it with the colony, leading to its eradication.
• Wood Treatment: Applying termiticides directly to infested wood and surrounding areas to eliminate termites and prevent further infestations.
• Foam Treatments: Using foam-based termiticides that expand and fill voids in walls and other areas where termites might be hiding.

Localized Treatments

Localized treatments target specific areas of a building where termite activity has been detected. These treatments are less invasive and can be more cost-effective for minor infestations.

• Spot Treatments: Applying termiticides directly to areas where termites are active. This method is suitable for localized infestations.
• Heat Treatments: Using high temperatures to kill termites in specific areas. This method is chemical-free and effective for small infestations.
• Electrocution: Using electric currents to eliminate termites in localized areas. This method is also chemical-free and effective for targeted treatments.

Preventive Measures

Preventive measures help protect your property from termite infestations and minimize the risk of future infestations.

• Regular Inspections: Scheduling regular inspections by a professional pest control company to detect and address termite issues early.
• Moisture Control: Reducing moisture levels around your property to make it less attractive to termites. Fix leaks and ensure proper drainage.
• Sealing Cracks: Sealing cracks and gaps in the foundation, walls, and roof to prevent termites from entering your building.
• Using Treated Wood: Using termite-resistant or treated wood during construction and renovations to prevent infestations.
