Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Pre-construction soil treatment is carried out to establish a barrier of treated soil that prevents termites from gaining access to the building from the sides or beneath it. This treated soil acts as a barrier to protect the building’s foundation and wooden structures from termite infestations.

Post-construction soil treatment is aimed at maintaining this protective barrier of treated soil. This is important to ensure that the building remains protected from termites over the long term.

By maintaining the treated soil barrier, any potential gaps or breaches can be identified and treated promptly to prevent termite infestations from occurring or spreading. Proper maintenance of the treated soil barrier through post-construction soil treatment is essential for effective termite control and prevention.

While there are many DIY termite control tips available online, it is generally not advisable to attempt to treat termite infestations on your own. Effective termite control requires specialized equipment and the use of termiticides, which typically require specialized skills to apply safely and effectively. In short, termite treatment is a job best left to professionals with the necessary training and experience. Hiring a licensed pest control expert ensures that the infestation is properly identified, and the appropriate treatment is applied in a safe and effective manner. In the long run, professional termite control services can save you time, money, and the frustration of dealing with a persistent termite problem.

The type of active termite present will determine the most effective treatment method. Baits are commonly used for the most destructive species, such as the Coptotermes, and for more common termites. On the other hand, sprays or liquid treatments tend to be more effective for other types of termites.

Therefore, for optimal and long-lasting results, it is important to select the appropriate treatment method based on the specific type of termite infestation.

If you own a pre-constructed property, we highly recommend treating the foundation soil before building to prevent termite infestations.

It’s also important to fix and seal any leaks and carry out regular inspections to detect and address any termite activity.
