TERMITE CONTROL BEFORE CONSTRUCTION STARTS
DID YOU KNOW THAT TERMITES NEVER SLEEP?
Did You Know?
Termites never sleep. They build their colonies 24 hours a day, every day, until they die. The largest termite colony ever recorded contained over three million termites. Ants are termites’ main competition and predators.
Termites might just be the most fascinating thing you never want to have anything to do with. If you need help getting termites to a more admirable (or ignorable) distance, just visit iPest Management website. They don’t just know fun facts about termites – they know all there is about stopping them, too.
DID YOU KNOW THAT TERMITES WEIGH HEAVIER THAN HUMANS?
Termites are known as “silent destroyers” because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper undetected. There are about 2,000 known termite species in the world. Each year, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage!
You might think termites are small and inconsequential. However, did you know that the total weight of all of the termites in the world is more than the weight of all the humans in the world? Bet you didn’t know that!
Treating termites before construction starts can help you defend against possible claims in the future as the termites frequently dwell where there is a high concentration of moisture and dampness. In old houses, these are frequent problems because they tend to live in obstructed or blocked water supply and sewerage pipes. Several projects’ construction specifications require protection for termites in their finishing, and several others request a termite-free environment.
Termite treatment in pre-construction stages includes several procedures that must be done to ensure an area of termite-free construction. Treating the soil before any slab placement with insecticides is the most common method of termite treatment. It will form a chemical barrier between the ground slab and masonry that will prevent the insects from approaching the building.
