Post-construction Anti-termite Treatment: A Brief Overview
In addition to pre-construction treatment, Sweet Voice Pest Control Services also specializes in post-construction anti-termite treatment, which is essential for properties that may not have received termite protection during the construction phase or are facing a termite infestation after construction.
What is Post-construction Anti-termite Treatment?
Post-construction anti-termite treatment involves applying termiticides to an existing building to create a chemical barrier that prevents termites from entering or eliminates existing infestations. This treatment is especially important for structures that are already at risk of termite damage or have shown signs of infestation.
Sweet Voice Pest Control’s Post-construction Treatment Process
Sweet Voice follows a comprehensive and effective approach to post-construction anti-termite treatment:
Inspection and Assessment:
- A thorough inspection of the property is conducted to determine the extent of the infestation and identify termite entry points. The inspection helps Sweet Voice professionals understand the structure’s vulnerability and design a targeted treatment plan.
Drilling and Injection Method:
- The most common method for post-construction treatment involves drilling small holes in the flooring, around the foundation, and near walls, especially where termite activity is suspected. These holes are then injected with liquid termiticides, which seep into the soil and form a barrier around the structure to prevent termites from accessing the building.
- The chemical used is typically Chlorpyrifos, Fipronil, or Imidacloprid, depending on the level of infestation and the structure’s needs.
Treatment of Wooden Structures:
- Wooden elements such as doors, window frames, and furniture may also be treated with specialized chemicals that act as a repellent to termites.
Surface Treatment:
- For ongoing infestations, Sweet Voice applies termiticides to affected areas of walls, floors, and other surfaces where termites are active. This not only eliminates the existing termites but also deters new termites from entering.
Trenching:
- In some cases, Sweet Voice may recommend trenching around the perimeter of the building. This involves digging a trench around the structure and applying chemicals directly into the soil to form a continuous protective barrier.
Follow-up and Monitoring:
- After treatment, Sweet Voice conducts follow-up inspections to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. Monitoring stations or bait systems may be installed to track any further termite activity, ensuring long-term protection.
When is Post-construction Treatment Necessary?
- Visible Signs of Termite Activity: If you notice signs of termites, such as mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, or damaged wood structures, immediate treatment is necessary.
- No Pre-construction Treatment: Properties that were not treated during the construction phase are highly susceptible to termites.
- Preventive Measure: Even if there are no visible signs of termites, it is recommended to periodically treat your home as a preventive measure, especially in termite-prone areas.
