Soil treatment for termite infestation involve the use of chemicals that will create non conducive environment for termites to operate. These chemicals have repellent and toxic characteristics. They are known as “Termicides”. Termicides are very effective when they are applied directly to the foundation of wooden materials as well as inside the soil that is close to building woods. All the layers of the soil must be treated to prevent termites from escaping through untreated layers of soil. It is always advisable to treat drill holes and trenches within a newly constructed building with termicides. Some of the termicide solutions you can use for termite treatment include; Cypermethrin, Bifenthrin, Chlorpyrifos, and many more. Most of these termicides are used in the treatment of termites before a Home is constructed for a uniform coverage of all the building areas as well and a better effective treatment control.

Depending on the size, construction, land topography and basement of a house, more than 100 gallons of a termicide solution is usually recommended for the termite protection per house. The termicides are first injected into the drill holes, house foundations and wood base before all other areas are treated.

One of the most effective termicide is the non repellent termicide. These group of termicides are very effective by first allowing termites to burrow down soil and when these termites come in contact with the treated zones that contain these non repellent termicides, their activities will be slowed down. These non-repellent termicides will slowly delay termites mortality while destroying them through their lethal microbes. This type of termite protection usually last between 2-4 months of application. Chlorfenapyr and fipronil are some of the popular Non repellent Termicide one can find around.

The concentration oftermicide to be used in termite treatment should be handled by a professional. You should know that these chemicals are very toxic in nature and should not be mishandled. It is recommended that after you have treated your house or if you come in contact with these termicides, you must thoroughly rinse off your hands in detergents, and twice with water. termicides that would be sprayed on wood or soil should not be inhaled under any circumstances. You need to cover your entire face with a mask and probably an Oxygen container to help you breathe properly while spraying the termicides on wood or soil. You can also put on a termicide treatment costume, which is an overall costume that can cover the entire part of your body. This help prevent accidental occurrence that may lead to you spraying yourself with these chemicals. Termicides are harmful to the skin ,hence you need to wear this protective covering when treating termites.
