Pre Construction Termite Treatment | Dixon Pest Control
Whether for residential or commercial
structures pre-construction termite
treatments for new building projects are
dependent upon careful coordination
between the building contractor and a
reliable pest services partner. Dixon
pest services enjoy close trusting
relationships with many area contractors, who have come to know that they can
depend on us for the best quality work
on every project.
Depending on the size of the slab involved the pre-construction termite treatments actually, involve multiple applications of soil termiticide. Sometimes more than three. At the first application our technicians arrive at the job site and measure and graph the foundation footprint though too often overlooked by some pest control vendors this step is necessary and very important.
The measurements are the basis for calculating the exact amount of material to apply and without them the termiticide application would be no better than guesswork. Having calculated the exact amount of soil termiticide to be applied the technicians begin by first treating the foundation this step vary slightly from one building project to the next according to the type of foundation.
The technicians next treat the slab fill area and this application is done at a variable rate according to the type of fill material either one gallon per 10 square feet or if gravel is the fill material one and a half gallons per 10 square feet. Once the slab fill area has been treated the technicians then treat what are called critical areas again at specified rates, the example of critical areas include pipe penetration points, expansion joints, and any other predetermined breakpoints in the slab.
Once this initial application has been completed the technicians arranged with the contractor or project foreman to have the treated slab area covered as soon as possible to protect the termiticide and the slab is then poured. Much new construction projects involve a second soil termiticide application this occurs when there are subsequent pours at the project site that needs treatment before additional concrete is poured examples include dirt-filled porches or patios sidewalks Stoops steps and driveways a final application of soil termiticide occurs later in the construction timetable usually at the end of the project after the contractor has completed final grading around the foundation for this application our technicians dig a six-inch-wide and six inch deep trench around the exterior foundation wall once the trench has been dug the termiticide is applied at the specified rate of four gallons per ten linear feet once the termiticide is seeped into the soil the technicians backfill and cover the trench as is the case with all construction related work our technicians make note of each application as it is completed on the on-site construction permit.
