I think, the treatment is not a one time treatment.. every few years, you need to call them up again  (if you want to)  to redo the treatment..

it's true that they have to drill & pump chemical every few years.. rclxub.gif rclxub.gif thats why i run a set of pipes before i laid my tiles icon_rolleyes.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.

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

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.

those of u having pipes on the ground, will it contaminate the drinking water ? will it cause cancer to others or leukemia to children nearby? is this dangerous chemical pump into the ground or not?
