Today i learn bout another way to treat termite from my boss, was not sure the name of the treatment..


we have

1) the usual spray around treatment
2) the one that make a lots of hole by injecting the chemical inside the land
3) baiting system (for active termite)

today i heard that my boss actually ask the contracter to do a piping for termite chemical method, before they lay down the new tile, they actual make a long pipe system from porch area to your middle of your living hall, the pipe will be plant underground ur tile, slightly more below and the move to all corner and have different spliting, what you need to do is on yearly basic go to the pipe mouth at porch area and pour in 1 can of the chemica and it's done.. the pipe thing cox less then 1k rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

i wonder if really got such thing ???

Wow drool.gif really got such thing, how much u do ? cox u see i just brought 1 sub sale at BMC and that place is famous for termite, i got upper floor on parque wood and if change to tile cost a lot, hence thought of just maintain the parque by shellec and polish with only Rm1.5k so the method call what ? does it cover the whole house ? how much the chemical per botol or tin or what ever amount needed per time for treatment ?

erm... what are the option for those house that do not do renovation?

jst to a hole at the back of the house?

that is to punch a small hole at the corner of your house and surounding it.. it will punch and inject the chemical through ur existing tile after that close up with cement so ur tile wont look so nice d...

hmm i also dunno but u see there is no FOREVER termite treatment in the world.. even if we chose the above method i mention to areankim, 3 years later u still ask ppl come and inject it again and ur tile look ugly le... if use baiting system u still put chemical and wait those termite carry it back to their king and queen and the colony might die but later come new gang u still put again same chemical thingy inside the house doh.gif

NLC termguard, cost a bomb. i have a bungalow project use their system.

the piping in my house reno was done by my indon, in fact any plumber also can do it, drill holes surrounding the house, insert perforated pvc piping with end cap, wrap with geo-textile and connect to each other from front to back.

[attachmentid=2139211]

i replace tiles for the whole house nod.gif
the conceal piping buried under the floor tiles actually serve the same function as u mention above, only difference is my floor tiles not need to drill in future, and i won't have those chemical smell inside the house when i recharge it every 2 years.

yeah this is the exact thing i wanna do since i gonna change the whole floor tile in my house, might as well do this 1st.. how much does it cost actually ? i mean ur indo guy la hahaha ?

u can google it mar.......the perforated pvc pipe wrap with geo-textile to avoid those small holes clog up by soil.

[attachmentid=2141327]
every 3 ft one pipe punch in to soil about 2ft depth. for existing slab, my worker drill the floor concrete with 32mm drill pit
