Pre-Construction Soil Treatment

For most people, the aspect of buying/ or moving into a new home signifies a new beginning. But many would not know if the land where the property is built upon has been home to pests. A research conducted, states that houses built on land previously rubber tree and oil palm plantations were one of the major reasons for termite invasion. Although termites are not really disease-carrying pest, they do pack a punch to the structural integrity of your building or value of your home when they infest. Moreover, if your property are damaged by termites, it will devalue your property or incur restoration costs

That is why, it is highly recommended for property developers and homeowners to treat the land before construction. Rentokil Soil Treatment creates a chemically treated zone underneath the building structure as protection against Subterranean Termites by treating with termiticide before the building is constructed. This treatment is conducted in the pre-construction phases under and around the concrete base by spraying the termiticide before laying the concrete slabs on the ground. As subterranean termites tunnel through the treated zones to find food, they are exposed to termiticide. The affected termites will then spread the termiticide to other termites through physical contact, eventually reducing the population and achieving colony control.

Minimise termite infestation from the start to ensure your property are not devalued. If your property is already developed and you are also worried about termite infestation, check out our Liquid Termiticide Treatment or Termite Monitoring Station now.
