I done termite work for over 11 years no matter how much you treat termites will find a way back in. And the workers get paid very little and it's hard work. So many products don't do what they say they will. The guy down drilling was doing it wrong a foot is 12 inches apart.
Great video om termite removal under monolithic concrete slabs..Dan does a good job with the rotary-hammer drill to create the hole to administer the termite poison.
I only saw 1 person wearing any kind of water resistant gloves when applying chemicals and the one injecting in the slab holes, what chemical were you using? I don’t know any label that says it’s ok the wear short sleeves and fabric gloves when applying.
Maybe a rubber cone would be useful for your slab injector. Also you should follow label instructions Long Sleeved Shirt and 4 Gallons for every 10 feet. The way your are doing it there is no possible way your are using the proper amount of chemical.
He probably calibrated his liquid before starting to treat then used a set count based on what part of the treatment specs he was proforming vertical holes , trench etc. Chemical coming out of the drill hole during injection doesn't mean he is or isnt applying enough it depends on the compaction and type of soil under the slab.
Damn. Working without a stop box or drill interrupter. I wonder how many pipes they've busted. Oh and I've always worn long sleeves shirts. It's a requirement.
+Alan Esquivel We have never hit a pipe! We identify the pipes and water lines prior to any drilling. We have basement construction which allows us to identify the utilities. We also treat exterior only no interior drilling. We don't wear long sleeve shirts for application but use sleeves for mixing.
4:23 Can’t insects simply walk across the soil to the weep holes? Never understood this bit about mulch up against the brick provides a bridge for insects.
he is saying to leave a 2" gap of bare wall so you can see and monitor the foundation wall for cracks, mud tunnels or insect activity. Im drilling my slab now and am afraid im going to puncture some utility. Can anyone help with advice?
Tile is drilled with a smaller drill bit in the mortar joints. If customer doesnt want it drilled write that on the service agreement with the understanding if they show up in that room tile must be drilled then have them sign after explaining to them.
that won't work, thats a swarm tube.....only active during swarms (Termidor foamer)...if you used a subslab injector, you might actually be able to deliver 4 gals per 10. You certainly under applied with that rod......not to mention the fact that the label makes no mention of applications on top of the slab....if yur gonna get on youtube....do it right!
A swarm tube is a formation of soil used by alates as a step to emerge from the wall or colony. The termites colonies activity in these locations is limited to swarm season. Not a good location to apply dust or apply an above ground Sentricon station...i suggest you take that course....and keep using that premise...lol
dblhlr It's called a exit tube not a swarm tube. Exit tubes are made in an attempt to find a shortcut back to the colony. I've been in the termite business since 1976 and know quite a lot however I learn something new everyday. Termite chemicals are all pretty much equal. They all must be approved by the epa for effectiveness in the same manner. Termidor is no better than dominion or premise, it just costs way more. If you can afford it go ahead and use it but you could make more money if you used something less expensive.and accomplish the same thing. Last time I checked people are business to make money, and the smarter you are the more money you will make.
Termidor HE is hands down the best I've ever used. Zero callbacks for retreats, 18 inch drill spacing, 2x4 trenches. It's all about the science now. BASF has done a great job with its formulation. Alpine is really good as well.
Termidor is over rated, too expensive and not any better than Premise or Dominion. The key to an effective termite treatment is not the chemical it's the knowledge and understanding of termites and construction.
@@gregballard4318 the company I worked for used premise and it was adequate but I felt it was not the best product,we had way too many callbacks and repair claims from premise

If you go less than 12 it won't be an issue ,just don't go more

Any professionals in here can join the pest control fraternity group on facebook. Its a great group to share information and learn from each other.
so many holes around the house. Do i need to get some cement to fix the hole?
Do you drill both sides inside of garage or one side of the inside and the other side outside trenching?
I only saw 1 person wearing any kind of water resistant gloves when applying chemicals and the one injecting in the slab holes, what chemical were you using? I don’t know any label that says it’s ok the wear short sleeves and fabric gloves when applying.
The label for altriset does not require gloves.

Do I have to drill inside my garage or just at the garage door or entrance?
at 25psi it should take 24 seconds to pump .4 gallons....and no sub slab injection pedal...definitely under pumped
That was not b and gs sub slab injector, just saying
Why not foam around the window?

+Tim Leatherman Never ever trust a plumber.
we do not need long sleeves for application. Mixing yes or at least gloves and a handwash after.
0DarthSponge0 Most termite chemicals require long sleeve shirts. Always gloves. Read the label.
label is the law sir. i am no amature. as you said MOST.
Very nice 👍 job

Did you guys really drill a monolithic slab?
greg ballard 😂😂now termites have easier access ..
i love doing what we do
Perfection AND Professional....... Nice work
Nice video. Do you use rubber cones to prevent back splash? Jimmy @ Just Termites *A RUclips Channel for Termite Professionals*
thats a good idea!! Rubber cones!!
Do have to drill the tiles? Can the treatment just be placed around the outside of the house?
Tile is drilled with a smaller drill bit in the mortar joints. If customer doesnt want it drilled write that on the service agreement with the understanding if they show up in that room tile must be drilled then have them sign after explaining to them.
do you not use a flow meter?

A swarm tube ? Never heard of it. Termite 101 would be a good thing.

.Cqss I guess you forgot about cracked slabs and plumbing areas ?
How much Deapth of the hole??
1.5 ft

Termidor is not overrated at all especially termidor HE
Premise has a weaker residual and not as good of a transfer effect
I like termidor
Those are valuable but if you don't apply a great product then all those other things are useless
@@gregballard4318 the company I worked for used premise and it was adequate but I felt it was not the best product,we had way too many callbacks and repair claims from premise
@@michaelmerck7576 No such thing as a great product anymore and homes are being built horribly, like wood framed stucco.
Far from perfection
