Termites are experts at undermining your business. They
are often referred to as "silent destroyers" because they do so much damage without even making
home owners aware of their presence. Termites feed on cellulose, including structural timbers,
flooring, doors and doorframes, window trim, and even pieces of furniture. Hexacare’s Termite
Control programs help provide ongoing protection to address any current termite activity and
help prevent future infestations.
We combine a variety of control techniques into a single,
comprehensive, and effective treatment program. It safeguards your home from termites by
focusing on both the soil and the structure. Combining above and below-ground treatments provide
you with the most complete and thorough protection.
Hexacare’s termite proofing includes
both ways of treatment, either before construction or after construction.
Termite damage is costly and as they live within walls
and furniture, many homeowners do not recognize infestations until they are fully mature. Mature
colonies require constant feeding and can inflict damage every day that they are left
undetected. For these reasons, it is highly advisable to engage in preconstruction termite
control when building a home or other structure.
Pre-construction termite creates a
chemical barrier between the building and soil beneath that prevents termites from moving up and
attacking your building. Our Technical Team conducts a survey at your site to decide various
factors like feasibility of treatment, mode of treatment and so on. Our technicians will then
prepare your site and treat the soil with appropriate amount of chemical to form an effective
barrier which is lethal and repellent to termites.
Our Pre-construction termite proofing
involves treatment at three stages:
• Foundation
• Ground floor slab
• External perimeter
There are several guidelines builders can follow during pre-construction to help reduce these
conditions, including:
• Limit wood-to-soil contact by supporting wood with a concrete
base.
• If wood must touch soil, use pressure-treated or termite-resistant wood.
• Do not bury cellulose materials (e.g. termite food sources like wood) at the building site,
including underneath front porches.
• Slope soil away from the foundation to create proper drainage.
• Provide adequate ventilation in crawlspaces to help reduce moisture build-up.
• Keep wood in crawlspaces at least 18 inches aboveground to avoid soil contact.
• Install siding at least six inches above the soil to reduce entry points.
This type of treatment involves drilling of holes and
injection of liquid termiticide by our well-equipped and trained technicians, to carry out this
treatment safely and systematically. The termiticide treatment creates a treated zone around the
perimeter of your premises by injecting termiticide into the ground to form a barrier between
the soil and building structure. The termiticide can be applied under a concrete floor or around
the foundations of the building both prior to or after construction.
As termites’ workers
tunnel through treated zones in search of food, they are exposed to the termiticide. The
termiticide is not only ingested, but also adheres to their bodies. The affected termites then
spread the active ingredient to other termites through physical contact, eventually reducing the
population of the colony.
To give our customers greater assurance, we warrant the
effectiveness of our termite treatment according to the packages and will carry out re-treatment
should there be a re-infestation of termites within the warranty period.
