Termite Pre-treatments and New Additions/Structures
All new constructions in areas where subterranean termites are a risk should have barriers installed. New additions to your home, such as - garage and sunrooms - also require barriers to termites. Even if the home was poisoned before, termites can bypass the original termiticide and attack the new structure.
Swimming pools can be damaged by termites if the walls are made of wood that have not been rated for wood-to-ground contact. Termites will chew through most soft plastics, so swimming pool liners are readily damaged, particularly if they are placed directly over a food source such as peat. Modern plastic water pipes and tanks are similarly at risk but metal and unplasticised PVC pipes are rarely affected.

Famous quotes containing the word structures:
“It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
