What method involves drilling holes in concrete for termite control?

The method that involves drilling holes in concrete for termite control is sub-slab treatment. This technique is specifically designed to target termites that may be present in the soil beneath a concrete slab. By drilling holes at strategic locations in the concrete, pest control professionals can introduce insecticides or other forms of treatment directly into the ground where termites are likely to be active.

This approach is particularly effective for preventing and controlling termite infestations in structures that have concrete foundations.

Surface treatment primarily focuses on applying chemicals to the ground surface and does not involve drilling into concrete. Soil treatment refers to the application of pesticides to the soil itself, usually before construction or in a landscape setting, without the need for invasive drilling. Barrier treatment is a preventative measure that involves creating treated zones in the soil around a structure to block termites from entering, but it doesn’t specifically require drilling into concrete slabs. Thus, sub-slab treatment stands out as the method that directly involves drilling for the effective management of termite control beneath concrete structures.
