SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES
Subterranean termites are the
most destructive insect pests of wood in the Malaysia. They cause billions of
Ringgit Malaysia (RM) in damage each year and have a negative impact on a
family’s most valuable possession— the home.
In nature, subterranean termites
are beneficial because they break down cellulose into usable nutrients. The
biomass resulting from this process is recycled to the soil as humus.
Subterranean termites are, therefore, considered important in our ecosystem.
Problems occur when termites
attack the wooden elements of homes, businesses and warehouses built by humans.
The presence of termites is often not readily noticed because their activity is
hidden behind wallboards, siding or wood trim. Homeowners in all areas of Texas
should watch for subterranean termites and take precautions against
infestations. To minimize damage from termites, it is helpful to know the
description, life cycle and signs of infestation of termites as well as
preventive and control measures.

The best time to provide protection against termites is during the planning and construction phase of a structure. The major objective of subterranean termite control is to establish a chemical barrier between the soil, where termites live and the wood in the home. A thorough pre-construction treatment is needed to protect the structure from termites. Treating a structure for termite control requires specialized equipment that homeowners usually do not have on hand such as a 100-gallon tank, roller pump and auxiliary motor to deliver the insecticide from the tank, hoses, treating tools, etc. Therefore, it is not recommended homeowners' attempt to treat their homes for termite control.
1. Chemical soil treatments [ Drilling ( CT) / Spraying Soil (ST) ]
How it works: This is probably the most common
approach to both eradicating a termite infestation and protecting a house from
future attack. It can be applied during construction of a house and after,
though at a greater expense. The soil is treated with chemicals to provide a
continuous barrier in the ground against termite entry. Areas treated include
the boundary of concrete slabs or the building, as well as areas such as the
patio, and the sub-floor area of a house.
2. Type of pesticide
i. Repellent pesticides will protect your house if
the barrier is complete, but any gap will be detected by termites and could
allow them entry to your house.
ii. Non-repellent ones allow the termites to pass
through the affected soil, where they will absorb the slow-acting poison, carry
it back to the colony, pass it on and thus eradicate the entire colony.
Duration: once installed, a chemical soil treatment will
need to be checked every 6-12 months and should provide protection for up three
to five years (depend warranty from supplier product)
