Why do a Pre-foundation termite treatment?

This is a 100% Preventive termite service
While termites cannot bore into or eat concrete, the slabs can crack with time creating perfect entry points for them. If the surrounding soil has not been treated, the termites can make their way to the slabs, through the cracks, and into the main wood structure. The goal of Pre-foundation termite treatments is to form a barrier in the ground that will keep subterranean termites from coming up from the soil to feed on the wood structures.

Because the area to be treated is free of obstructions (such as a building), this type of treatment is less labor-intensive, making the Pre-Foundation treatment less expensive than treating an existing structure.

Another benefit of Pre-Foundation treatment is that the Econature technicians can cover every square inch of ground, creating a more secure barrier.

With this service, it is possible to prevent something from happening in the future, pre-treating the area where your home will be built or where an addition will be built can dramatically decrease the chances of remaining termite-free.
The Econature staff must coordinate with the builder in charge to organize the procedures with precision.
The design of the house and the type of soil it is built on can cause some variation in barrier application.

While the methods may vary somewhat depending on the building codes for the specific area, the first step in pre-foundation termite treatment is usually to treat the slab.
Once the ground has been graded, foundation formwork has been installed, and the foundations have been excavated, the area can be treated.
Inside the perimeter 3 times and 1 meter outside the perimeter.

How long does Pre-foundation treatment last?

Proper pre-foundation termite treatment can safely last five years.

Even though these treatments are quite effective, it is still recommended to inspect your home periodically for any damage or signs of termites.
Also, try to keep the area surrounding the building free of residual wood or other cellulose-based material, as these attract termites.
This will ensure your structure is continually protected and will head off any potential infestations before they begin.
