Description of Treatment Options
A subterranean termite post construction treatment may be either a partial treatment or a spot treatment using termiticide, approved physical barriers or baiting system. These types of treatments are defined as follows:
“Spot” Treatments (Most Common)
A “Spot” Treatment for termites targets a specific termite colony. It can be defined as any treatment which concerns a limited, defined area less than ten (10) linear or square feet that is intended to protect a specific location or “spot”. Often there are adjacent areas susceptible to termite infestation which are not treated.
“Partial” Treatments
A Partial Treatment targets a specific termite colony and the immediate surrounding area, providing additional protection against the return of the colony.
This technique allows a wide variety of treatment strategies but is more involved than a spot treatment (see definition above.) Ex: treatment of some or all of the perimeter, bath traps, expansion joints, stress cracks, portions of framing, walls and bait locations.
Preventative Treatments
a. PIER and BEAM: Generally defined as the treatment of the outer perimeter including porches, patios and treatment of the attached garage. In the crawl space, treatment would include any soil to structure contacts as well as removal of any wood debris on the ground.
b. SLAB CONSTRUCTION: Generally defined as treatment of the perimeter and all known slab penetrations as well as any known expansion joints or stress cracks.
c. BAITING SYSTEMS: This type of treatment may include interior and/or perimeter placement of monitoring or baiting systems along with routine inspection intervals. The baiting technique may include one or more locations as prescribed by the product label and instructions.
d. BARRIERS: If a physical device is used, the square footage of the physical device must be recorded and a diagram describing the installation will be provided.
