01 Route

Soil treatment Β· future retreatment

The pipe is a route, not the treatment.

Both options treat termite risk from the soil. Piping adds something important: a route for future treatment.

The pipe itself does not stop termites. It is a delivery network that lets treatment be introduced again later.

02 Options

Both depend on correct chemical and coverage.

The difference is whether a hidden treatment route remains available after finishes are complete.

Spray

Direct soil treatment

Simple, established and economical during construction.

Future hidden-area treatment may need new access.
Piping

Reticulation network

Keeps a route available for later chemical application.

Refill points must remain accessible.
Both need

Specified application

Correct chemical, concentration, coverage and construction-stage sequencing.

Not enough

A label alone

Missed zones, wrong dilution or inaccessible points make either system incomplete.

03 Record

A future route is useful only when it can be found and serviced.

The warning is incomplete treatment: missed soil zones, wrong dilution, inaccessible piping points or no record of what was used.

Ask before approval
Which chemical and concentration are being used?
  • Which soil and foundation areas receive treatment?
  • Where are piping refill points?
  • Will those points remain accessible?
  • What installation and treatment record will be handed over?

04 Check

Think beyond the construction stage.

The key distinction is the ability to introduce treatment later without opening finished floors.

Which system is designed to make later retreatment easier?

Choose the option that preserves future access.
