Finally you started building your dream house. What should you do to protect your home from future infestation caused by destructive termites?
During the Pre-Construction stage, at the onset of building the foundation, it necessary to begin your Soil Termite Treatment program.
Why is there a need to have your home treated against termites during this stage and not during the time when the home is already built? While the fact that Post-construction termite treatment is still feasible based on the programs of SureSolutions, Pre-Construction termite treatment has its benefits, for the reason that during the construction stage, all available soil will be treated properly.
Likewise, it is only during the Pre-Construction stage where we at SureSolutions would be able to install Reticulation System. This is a system of termiticide delivery that can be used for future termite treatments because said system will be imbedded directly into the soil which is normally covered by concrete and tiles.
Soil Treatment or what is popularly termed then as soil poisoning is the process of applying the proper amount of termiticides directly unto the soil of the property that is being constructed.
This process would normally required three phases, first is the foundation soil treatment wherein upon the installation of the posts or footings, termiticide treatment shall be applied prior to concreting. The second process is the application of the termiticides upon placement of all connecting beams, again this shall be done prior to its concreting. Finally the third phase is the direct application of termiticides on the floor slab, prior to the application of concrete.
For obvious reasons, depending on the construction stage, Pre-construction soil treatment or soil poisoning will normally take a longer process as compared to the post-construction treatment. However, this would totally ensure that your structure will be less likely to be damaged by termites in the future.
