Citi Pest Control

### 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.
