| CONVENTIONAL
(BARRIER) TREATMENT |
|
|
| The
application of a liquid
pesticide, known as a
termiticide, to the soil.
The goal is to create a
continuous chemical
barrier around and
beneath the structure in
order to block all
potential routes of
termite entry. Termites
attempting to penetrate
through the treated soil
are either killed or
repelled. A typical
"barrier"
treatment may involve
many gallons of dilute
termiticide solution
injected into the ground
alongside the foundation,
beneath concrete slabs,
and within foundation
walls.
