### Pre-Construction Anti Termite Treatment
- Overview: Involves treating soil beneath the foundation with chemicals to create a barrier against termites.
- Application: Chemical barrier is established between the ground and foundation brickwork, treating soil, pillars, and joints.
### Post-Construction Anti Termite Treatment
- Overview: The Drill-Fill-Seal method is used for existing structures.
- Application: Holes are drilled at wall-floor junctions, filled with termiticide, and sealed to prevent termite infestations.
### Anti Termite Pest Control Methods
1. Inspection:
- Description: Professionals inspect the property to assess infestation extent, identify termite species, and locate entry points.
2. Soil Treatment:
- Description: Liquid termiticides are applied to soil around and beneath structures, forming a barrier that termites cannot cross.
3. Chemical Barriers:
- Description: Termiticides are applied to foundation and surrounding soil to create a protective barrier against termites.
4. Baiting Systems:
- Description: Bait stations with toxicants are used; termites consume bait and spread toxicant to the colony, leading to its elimination.
5. Wood Treatment:
- Description: Termiticides are applied directly to wooden components to protect against infestations, including surface treatments or injections.
6. Foam Applications:
- Description: Foam termiticides treat voids and cavities, reaching difficult areas for effective control.
7. Physical Barriers:
- Description: Barriers like stainless steel mesh or plastic sheeting prevent termites from accessing structures, often used during construction.
8. Heat Treatment:
- Description: Infested areas are heated to lethal temperatures for termites, effective for localized control in specific structures.
9. Biological Control:
- Description: Beneficial nematodes are introduced into soil to feed on termites, reducing their population naturally.
10. Natural and Herbal Remedies:
- Description: Natural substances like neem oil or essential oils are used for their repellent or insecticidal properties against termites.
11. Regular Monitoring:
- Description: Periodic inspections detect termite activity early, allowing for prompt intervention to prevent damage.
12. Construction Practices:
- Description: Using termite-resistant materials, proper ventilation, and eliminating wood-to-soil contact during construction help in long-term control.
