Avoid termites: -Fix all water leaks and sources of seeping and moisture that can stay inside home causing mold, rot and inviting termites -Install a steel mesh barrier termite control system . -Install a physical termite barrier system (e.g., basaltic rock) approved by code. -For below-grade walls, use solid concrete foundation walls, masonry walls with a course of solid block bond beam, or concrete-filled block. -Install post-tension slabs. -Treat all cellulosic structural material (e.g., wood framing) with a registered pesticide containing borates, following the manufacturer’s directions for preconstruction treatment. -Use noncellulosic material for all structural elements. -Install ports or openings for all plumbing elements that penetrate the slab, to allow access for inspection and treatment of pest infestations. -Install a registered termite bait system and provide for ongoing maintenance as required by the manufacturer. -Design a minimum 6-inch (150 millimeters) inspection space between the surface of the planned landscape grade and nonmasonry siding. -Seal all external cracks, joints, penetrations, edges, and entry points with appropriate caulking. Install rodent- and corrosion-proof screens (e.g., copper or stainless steel mesh) on all openings greater than ¼ inch (6 millimeters), except where code prohibits their installation (e.g., dryer vents). -Design discharge points for rain gutters, air-conditioning condensation lines, steam vent lines, or any other moisture source such that discharge is at least 24 inches (600 millimeters) from the foundation. -Design landscape features to provide a minimum 18-inch (450 millimeters) space between the exterior wall and any plantings. |
