Liquid chemical treatments
Another method, one that uses older technology, is commonly known as a liquid chemical treatment. This method involves treating the soil around and under your home with hundreds of gallons of chemicals in an attempt to create a barrier between the termite colony and the home. To accomplish this, a trench is dug around the home and the chemical solution is injected into the soil. To try to create a barrier beneath the home, additional liquid chemical may be injected through floors, porches and patios. This option can be very disruptive to your home and landscaping.
It is difficult to distribute the chemical thoroughly, and termites can find their way through the tiniest of breaks. What's more, from the day it is applied, the chemical starts to deteriorate. The product guarantee usually means even more liquid chemical will be used when the barrier breaks down. Most of these treatments must be redone within five years.
These treatments are yesterday's technology and, at their best, provide only a short-term fix, not a permanent solution.
