In the USA, copper sheeting may be installed between the concrete block foundation and the wooden sill plates to repel termites.

Aluminum sheet can help stop termites. You slip it between the footer stones and the beams and beam supports. The aluminum doesn't corrode easily or quickly, and it changes to match air temperatures quickly and easily, so the termites either freeze or bake inside their little mud-tunnels over the aluminum's surface.

Using chestnut wood for the sills is a great idea, where I live we use red cedar for water and termite resistance, chestnut wood is really rare and doesn’t occur naturally for us.

Very thorough! I have had success limiting Formosan [super] termite damage using baiting systems rather than risking ground contamination with chemicals. The system requires regular monitoring and is therefore more expensive. But it end-targets the queen, rather than just creating a chemical barrier which the remaining termite army can reroute around.

Channel is really taking off. A funny part about the channel is Shoyan using AI. The best part about the AI voice is hearing it trying to be humorous. 😁 The termites we call them subterranean termites. They dry out fairly easy. Thats the reasoning for the mud tunnels they create when the exit any wood material. Great channel.

When the multi tool first appeared I was very skeptical about how useful it would be. Also, in my country (australia) it was advertised on late night television via one of those “As Seen on TV” never ending commercials. The kind that has a man speaking loudly about how amazing the product is and saying “but wait, there’s more” 🤣 All of this made me doubt the multi tool product. I don’t know if multi tools have improved, but these days I see many many makers of all kinds and skill levels using their multi tools and saying how much they appreciate it.

it is so often that a small change to a room, or closet, or stairs, you find carpenter ant or termites, and now face a "ground up" renewal! In your casement including the "ground"! Sugoi, finding termites, and keeping up the detective work to be sure that they don't rebuild!

Chemicals like that are not the only way. I would look for a bait system that would only kill termites and not other insects. It will also not contaminate the groundwater or the ground itself. We have had them in the United States for about 30 years. Japan should have them as well.
@mexdek20613 ай бұрын
I dont think there is enough flow in his crawlspace for those chemicals to reach grondwater before they denaturate. And why would you want any insects at all inside you building...
@carmelopappalardo84773 ай бұрын
@@mexdek2061 Spiders are good for the house as an example. Secondly the chemicals do breakdown over time. Also any area that is not touched will leave an opening for them to enter the house. A bait system prevents that. I can explain more but why should I? You have no clue about a chemical treatment vs a bait system. I do.

Does Japan have a house tenting system for termites? I've seen buildings completely covered with a large tarp and then Vikane gas is used. The house must be tented for 24 hours and it suppose to kill all termites and any other kind of insects in the house. I've heard that the "best" chemical for ground termites is Chlordane. I wonder if that is available in Japan...🤔
