Is soil treatment to control termites always possible for all structures?

The assertion that soil treatment to control termites is always possible for all structures is not accurate. Typically, soil treatments involve applying liquid insecticides to the soil around and beneath a structure to create a barrier against termites. However, there are several factors that can affect the feasibility of soil treatment.

In certain situations, especially with older structures, it may be more challenging to perform effective soil treatments due to accessibility issues, the presence of landscaping features, or the layout of the foundation. Additionally, some structures may have been built with practices that complicate direct access to the soil underneath or around them.

Even in new constructions, there may be specific situations, such as regulations, soil conditions, or associated risks of water contamination, that might limit the use of chemical treatments.

Therefore, while soil treatment can be an effective method for controlling termite infestations, it cannot be universally applied to every structure under all circumstances, making the notion that it is always possible misleading.
