within, and which have little chance of conversion
to alternative uses.
Modification of this section, including materials,
concentrations, or rates of application, considered
necessary because of climatic conditions, porosity
of soil to be treated, type of termite, or heavy
infestation of termites, will be as recommended by
the certified installation pest management
coordinator. The modification will be in accordance
with the guidance contained in the installation pest
management program. Army Regulation 210-50, Housing
Management, paragraph SPECIAL CONDITIONS, prohibits
termiticide treatment through or under concrete
slabs where HVAC ducts or vents are within or
beneath the slab. Information is also available
from state and local agriculture agencies and from
the EPA National Pesticide Telephone Network at
1-800-858-7378.
When termites are known to be present on the project
site, any crawl space on the ground level designed
in a building needs to be designed for a concrete
cover to be placed over the soil after treatment by
a termiticide. Since the crawl space remains
accessible to people and animals, it requires the
concrete cover and signage.
For maximum termite protection, new structures
should be designed and constructed using CCA- or
borate-treated lumber, especially for foundation
members. Untreated lumber in existing structures
may be treated using rods of CCA or borate salts
which can be inserted into non-treated wood and
dissolved with water for absorption by the wood.
