POST -CONSTRUCTION ANTI TERMITE TREATEMENT

IS6312-2

Pre-construction anti-termite treatment is a preventative measure applied during the early stages of building construction to protect the structure from future termite infestations. It involves creating a chemical barrier in the soil around and beneath the foundation, making it difficult for termites to access the building. This treatment is crucial for preventing damage from subterranean termites, the most common type of termite that attacks buildings. Key aspects of pre-construction anti-termite treatment:Purpose:To establish a termite-proof barrier in the soil around and beneath the foundation, preventing termites from entering the building. Timing:Applied before construction begins, during foundation work, and before flooring is installed. Chemical Barrier:Involves treating the soil with approved chemicals that are toxic or repellent to termites, creating a barrier that termites cannot easily penetrate. Application:Chemicals are applied to the soil in the foundation trenches, around the perimeter of the building, and within the plinth filling.
