Liquid Barrier Treatment
Advantages
- Liquid treatments have been around a long time and the relative costs have come down.
- Some newer termiticides (chemicals that kill termites) have been shown to be relatively rapid-acting.
- Most companies have experience with this method and can perform a standard treatment.
Disadvantages
- Hundreds of gallons of chemical are pumped into the walls, foundation, and surrounding soil of a home.
- Over-spills and contamination of lakes, streams, sewers, etc. can occur.
- A complete barrier is often difficult to achieve, so termites can still find ways to enter the structure unaffected by the treatment.
- Retreats may be required to treat areas where termites continue to feed.
- Odors can persist.
- NOT environmentally sensitive, since damage to fish and wildlife can occur.
