Chemical Soil Treatment is one of the termite services the crew we book handles for homes around Geelong. Whatever style of property you are in, the crew looks at the subfloor, roof void and the ground around the foundations before deciding on the next step.
A chemical soil treatment involves applying a termiticide to the soil around the foundations, creating a treated zone that termites need to pass through to reach the timber above. It is one way of establishing or renewing a barrier around a property, alongside physical barrier systems.
The crew works out the application points around the Geelong property, including trenching or drilling close to the foundations where needed, based on how the home is built and where the existing coverage, if any, has broken down. The soil type, drainage and any existing garden beds all factor into how the treatment is planned.
- Soil around the foundation perimeter
- Slab edges and paths close to the house
- Garden beds requiring careful application
- Areas where an older treatment has broken down
Soil treatments can be affected over time by landscaping work, new paving or digging close to the house, so it is worth mentioning any recent yard work when you call. A treated zone that has been disturbed in one spot can leave a gap for termites to use, even if the rest of the perimeter is intact, which is part of why a periodic check matters alongside the original application. Call 03 7053 9841 to ask whether a soil treatment suits your property.
