There is often a problem of termites after building a house, which causes damage to your wood paneling, doors, and furniture. The best solution for this can be done only while building the house, before starting the construction, the best way is to do anti-termite treatment i.e termite prevention.

During an anti-termite treatment, the soil under the house and around the foundation is treated with an anti-termite chemical or insecticide. It kills existing termite colonies and prevents them from forming colonies later. Let’s take a look at why termite control is essential in your home construction, and how to do it.

Why termite control is important before pre-construction

Termites are a danger to things made of wood. If they get into your home, they can cause more damage to your furniture, fixtures, and other things in your home. If termite control is not done before construction, they can form a colony under your home, causing great damage for years to come.

Some such termite-control chemicals that have been recommended by the Bureau of Indian Standards under ISI specifications are:

1. Chlorpyrifos 20% EC
2. Imidacloprid 30.5% sc.

Anti-termite treatment before construction is done by injecting the liquid anti-termite chemicals into the soil, foundation, and surrounding areas. For anti-termite treatment after construction, the sides and lower areas of the walls are treated with termiticide. The surrounding soil should be dug up and treated, thus creating a termite-resistant barrier within the house.

Here are the steps for an effective anti-termite treatment:

• Inspection: Check and mark the areas where you need to treat with an anti-termite chemical
• Site preparation: Clean the construction site before applying the chemical, and ensure that there are no gaps in the application area.
• Usage: Ensure that the prescribed dosage rate of Termiticide is maintained for specific areas.
• Always make sure that a specialist is overseeing the work of the anti-termite treatment. Take care not to use chemicals anywhere near drinking water sources.

Anti-termite treatment is very important for the following reasons:

• It is more effective and provides instant protection to your house.
• It protects the house against termites for years
• Liquid termiticide is easily purchased, and a necessary investment for the sustainability of your home
• The damage caused by termites to your home can be irreversible (non-recoverable). However, with a little foresight and precautions, you will be able to keep your home safe from termites.
