Subterranean termites need to always be in contact with the soil because of the amount of moisture they need to survive, so what they do is build small tubes up the side of your foundation or in cracks so they can access the wood in your house without drying out.

In order to prevent your home being attacked by subterranean termites there are several different measures you can take, but the first and most important option is to lay down termite barriers in the soil before you ever start construction.

The first type of termite barrier is made by digging a trench around the complete perimeter of your home’s foundation and then filling the trench with large amounts of residual insecticide.

The insecticide permeates the soil to the point where the termites cannot pass through the soil on the way to your house without becoming infected by the insecticide and dying. Care must be taken to not leave any openings for the termites to pass through because they will eventually find it, they are relentless.

Another type of termite barrier control consists of two pieces of plastic with fiber sandwiched between them, and the fiber is saturated with insecticide, the plastic is then laid down in places such as the crawlspace to block the termites from coming up through the soil and attacking the home.
