Soil Treatment For Termites

1. How termites enter your home?

Termites live in highly organized underground colonies, each consisting of millions of termites with specific roles, such as worker termites, soldier termites, and nymphs. At the heart of every colony is the Queen termite, leading the operation. These colonies continuously send out termite scouts to search for wood within the surrounding area.

 

Termites typically invade homes through the soil foundation and travel up the walls. Once they locate a source of wood inside, they waste no time in constructing multiple tunnels. These tunnels allow them to transport tiny pieces of wood back to their underground colony, gradually breaking down and depleting furniture over time.

Upon finding wood in home the termites create multiple tunnels for taking small pieces of food to their underground soil colony and start breaking down furniture into small pieces and transporting it to their underground soil colony.

2. What is the science behind Soil Treatment For Termites?

As mentioned in above answer, The routes of termite passes through soil including the soil under the foundation of your house. we can say that soil is the major medium of movement for termites. Hence, if we can treat the soil under the foundation of your house, then termites can be stopped at foundation itself. The soil treatment includes treating the soil with termite killer chemical so that the soil do not support movement of termites. This way your furniture and home gets rid of termite for a long time.

3. When to book an Anti Termite Treatment service For Soil?

We need direct access to the foundation soil to carry out the termite treatment effectively. This treatment is a one-time process during the construction phase, ideally when the foundation is dug or just before laying the cement. Once the concrete foundation is in place, soil treatment becomes impossible, as access to the soil is permanently lost.

However, after construction, we can still create a termite barrier by treating the soil around your home’s exterior walls. If there is enough accessible soil along all exterior borders, we can dig trenches and apply the treatment. This method helps protect your home, but it is only feasible if soil access remains available around the entire structure.

However post construction, depending on the access of soil around the exterior wall borders of your house we can dig trenches along the exterior wall. We can treat this soil touching your exterior wall by creating a termite barrier around your house. However, that is possible only if there is access to soil around all exterior walls of the house.

This is the reason that you should always prefer a professional termite control company to get your termite soil barrier done perfectly.

5. How long can this soil treatment protect home from termite attacks?

Soil based termite treatment always has a much longer lifespan than other traditional termite treatment methods. This is because soil forms a stronger chemical bond with the termite killer chemical therby retaining it for much longer periods like 13-14 years and in few cases even upto 20 years. This suggests that you can protect your home and furniture for about 15 years from all type of Termite attacks.
