What are the four areas that require treatment for total protection of a slab?

Total protection of a slab from termite damage necessitates treatment in four specific areas. First, treating the voids in concrete or bricks is crucial since these spaces can serve as pathways for termites to access wooden structures, making them vulnerable to infestation.

Second, the soil in sub-slab areas must be treated as this soil lies beneath the concrete slab and can harbor termites that may tunnel up toward the structure. Effective treatment here can prevent termites beneath the slab from infiltrating the building above.

Third, the soil at the outside perimeter plays a significant role in creating a barrier against termites. Since termites often enter structures from the soil around the foundation, treating this area helps to stop them before they can reach the slab and cause damage.

Therefore, addressing all of these areas—voids in concrete/bricks, soil in sub-slab areas, and soil at the outside perimeter—ensures comprehensive protection against termite infestations, making a combined treatment approach essential for effective prevention.
