Do You Have a Pest in Your House?

3 Major Benefits You Will Get From A Timely Termite Treatment

by Anita Schmidt

Termites are among the pests that can wreak havoc in your home. The difficult part of dealing with them is that they are very slow and quiet. They take time to infiltrate your home, and if you are not keen, you might not notice them. They hide in places such as the basement and the spaces below the house. When they have established a nest for their colony, they will start digging into the wood and eating your home from the inside out.

By the time most homeowners realise that they have a termite problem in their homes, they are usually thousands of dollars deep in damage. The best way to prevent this damage is getting treatment done while the home is being constructed. Here are the three main benefits of termite treatment.

You Will Pay Less Than You Would For Extermination

Termite treatment is a solution made by the professionals and poured into strategic parts of the property before the actual construction process starts. The place where the foundation and slab will go is usually irrigated with the mixture of termite treatment. The pits where the foundation piles will go are also treated with the solution. 

Pre-construction treatment is cheaper because there is no damage to mitigate. The process also involves fewer steps and can be completed within a short time.

There Are Few Obstacles

The best time to treat your construction site is before you put anything up. At this point, you will have open space, and the treatment solution can reach any corner of the site. Since the person handling the treatment does not have obstacles such as the foundation slab to prevent them from accessing these areas, you are assured that the process will be effective.

However, it is still possible to treat your construction site after building. The process will involve extra steps like inspecting the building and exterminating any present termites, but it will also be successful.

The Process Is Permanent

When you treat the soil before the construction process, you establish a permanent chemical barrier between the termites and your house. The treatment experts can also locate the parts of the house where termites normally gain access. These may include the junction between floors and walls, cracks and also expansion joints.

When all these areas are treated, your house will have very little likelihood of suffering termite damage.

These are the benefits of investing in a pre- or post-construction termite treatment. As long as professionals handle it for you, you are assured of excellent termite protection for years.
