How Termites Enter The Home

The most common termite, the subterranean, build! its nest in the ground. These termites construct mud tubes which are used to explore for food and connect their underground nest to that food source. They car enter a building without direct wood contact with the soil through such tubes.

Termites can enter buildings through cracks, expansion joints, hollow bricks or concrete blocks around plumbing. They can find their way into a structure through an opening as small as 1/32 of an inch.

Any building, whether constructed with slab, basement or crawl space foundations, can be targets for termite infestation.

 

TERMITCIDES SLAB TREATMENT BASEMENT CRAWL SPACES
Applying termiticides to soil around the exterior foundation creates a chemical barrier against the termites and is accomplished by trenching, rodding and/or drilling. A treatment for slab construction consists of drilling through the slab floor or walls and injecting termiticides into soil along the inside perimeters of the foundation. Basement construction may require treatment which injects termiticides into the soil through holes drilled in the basement floor or walls at regular intervals. Crawl space treatment also involves trenching or rodding soil along the foundation walls and around piers and pipes, then applying termiticides to the soil.
