Build Against Termites: Preventive Construction and Remedies
The article explains that termite damage often appears in homes 5 to 20 years old when wood is reachable from the ground. It argues that termites are best kept out by proper initial construction, including mechanical blocking, cracks filled, and metal shields or cement to separate wood from the ground. If termites are present, simple repairs can isolate them from the ground, though large rebuilding may be required in some cases.
Termite Control Through Ground Poisoning Advised
It may be possible to curb termites temporarily by poisoning the ground under a house at their nests. Effective agents include orthodichlorobenzene or a kerosene coal-tar creosote mix, with expected impact lasting four to five years. For more on termite prevention, write to the U S Department of Agriculture Washington D C for Leaflet No 101 Injury to Buildings by Termites and Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine Brief E-338.
