Termite Treatment Adelaide: Before and After Construction
Termites are usually found at places where humidity and moisture levels are high. You may have noticed that they are common in old houses because they usually live in gutters and block the water supply. It is known that these termites live in wood products or rotting wooden materials. Termites feed on wood and other materials outside of your home.
 
For Termite Treatment Adelaide in new buildings, you should focus at two different stages – 1) Before Construction and 2) After Construction. Resorting to termite treatment before the beginning of construction work can avoid problems in the future. In many construction projects, termite protection is necessary during finishing. Some property buyers demand a termite-free environment.
 
 
Termite pre-treatment involves several steps to ensure a termite-free construction. One of the most common methods is treating the soil with an insecticide before laying the slab. This is useful for creating a chemical barrier between the slab and masonry. This will prevent insects from approaching the building.
 
This chemical treatment can be done as follows.
 
  • Before starting foundation work, it is necessary to treat the bottom and walls of the trench with chemicals.
  • Before installing the stove, the bottom must be made a hole and chemicals poured in.
  • Chemicals must be used between the joints between the wall and the floor.
  • To secure the future of the pipeline network, you need to fill the area of the pipe bed with chemicals.
  • Make holes around the house and fill them with chemicals to clean the house from termites.
  • Most of the walls need maintenance to stop the spread of these insects.
  • You must use chemicals wherever wood touches floors or other parts.
  • Wooden products beyond repairs due to being damaged should be replaced.
 
Before starting any treatment after the completion of construction work, the entire area should be evaluated. An in-depth study of the area will help you understand the extent of damage and the location of the termites. There are several things to consider with chemical treatment.
 
Final Words
 
By treating termites before and after construction, you can make your home termite-free. This will help you to protect your valuable wooden items.
