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

The label for altriset does not require gloves.

1.5 ft

thats a good idea!! Rubber cones!!

greg ballard 😂😂now termites have easier access ..

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.

+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.

+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.

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.

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.

Good job.

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.

.Cqss I guess you forgot about cracked slabs and plumbing areas ?

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.
