How To Apply
Termiticide: Method of Application
Termite Control : Principles
- Basic principle of termite control is
- to deny moisture source : lack of moisture leads to desiccation of the termites.
- Create a barrier so that the termites cannot reach
- No good physical methods / barriers are available for curtailing the infestation of the termites
- The most common barrier is use of chemicals
- Chemical barriers are proved to last for a long time provided :
- The chemical has good termiticidal property
- The timing of application: Pre construction is always better than Post construction application.
Two types of application are very common
- Pre construction
- Post construction
Why Preconstruction Treatment is Preferred?
- Ease of application
- Thorough coverage; Complete Barrier
- Long lasting effect of termiticide
- Peace of Mind
Treatment for Masonry Foundations & Basements
Treatment for RCC foundations & basements
- In RCC foundations the concrete is dense( 1:2:4), hence termites are unable to penetrate the structure.
- Therefore it is unnecessary to start the treatment from the bottom of excavations.
- The treatment for RCC construction should start from a depth of 500 mm below the ground level except when the ground level is raised or lowered.
- If the ground level is raised or lowered – then depth of 500 mm should be determined from the new soil level
- The vertical structure of the RCC foundations shall be treated at the rate of 7.5 l / m (similar to Step 2 of Masonry foundations)
