Who Can Help with a Pre-Construction Soil Treatment?
A company that holds a Termite Category Commercial Pesticide Applicator license can assist, but a company must carry this title in order to help. Without it, they are not certified. Additionally, the company must carry a truck equipped with a 100-gallon spray rig. It is essential that the company has professional experience and understands the intricate timing, hours, and process. At Quality Pest Control, this is a title we hold and an area that we know well.
Pre-Construction Soil Treatments
When a commercial or residential is in the process of being built, they will need to have a pre-construction soil treatment done first. What is a pre-construction soil treatment? It is a termite barrier that is used to treat the soil, prior to the concrete being poured. In the State of Florida, this is a preventative action, as termite damage and devastation is common. What many new builders don’t know is that it is required by the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Entomology. Every five years, the property must be re-treated around the perimeter.
Who Needs a Pre-Construction Termite Treatment Service
Are you wondering if you’re in need of pre-construction termite services? There are two applicable moments where you may be. The first applies to all new general contractors, shell contractors, and concrete companies that are assisting in building new homes or buildings. Additionally, all architectural firms who create plans for new locations will need to be aware of the pre-construction soil treatment that is required.
Why a Property Needs a Pre-Construction Soil Treatment
The action is needed to prevent Subterranean termite infestations. In the State of Florida, termites are a serious threat to foundations of both residential and commercial properties. To avoid damages in the future, and to keep the property safe, this procedure must be completed before the pour of concrete.
How a Pre-Construction Termite Treatment Works
If you’re wondering how a pre-constructing termite service works, you’re in the right place. Most individuals are uncertain about what’s involved and what to expect, especially when it’s their first building project. Essentially, the treatment involves spraying 1/10th of a gallon of pre-mixed materials that include termite chemicals. This 1/10th of spray is placed every square foot on the soil. Then, the concrete process can begin. A large truck will be needed to carry enough solution to cover the base of the premises. Inside the tank, water is mixed with the solution. Every five years, a pest control company with the proper credentials will need to re-evaluate the space and re-do a few injections alongside the property boundaries.
When a Pre-Construction Termite Service is Performed
The process happens prior to the pouring of concrete. After the soil is graded to an even level and the plumbing or structural elements are securely placed. From there, the weather cannot be below 45 degrees for the following six hours and the wind must be under 10MPH. These requirements are for both the mixing of the solution and the spraying. Fortunately, in South Florida, the weather remains in the warmer temperatures and the wind is usually fairly calm. If a job requires that there be more than one concreate pour, the total termite services must be done within 24-hours of each pour. It’s essential that concrete companies, builders, architects, and the pest control company be aligned on timing during these procedures.
