What is the most common method of interior slab treatment?

The most common method of interior slab treatment is vertical drilling. This approach involves drilling holes directly into the slab to inject a pesticide into the soil beneath, which helps in controlling wood-destroying pests that may be residing there, such as termites. Vertical drilling is often preferred because it allows for a more effective distribution of the treatment solution directly into the affected areas.

The goal is to create a barrier that targets underground pest activities, ensuring that the treatment is where it is most needed. Vertical drilling is typically less invasive and more efficient in terms of time and resource use, which is vital in pest control operations. It also minimizes disturbance to the interior areas of a home, making it a practical choice for treatment.

In contrast, horizontal drilling, short rodding, and long rodding are less common techniques and may not offer the same level of effectiveness or efficiency when it comes to addressing subterranean pest infestations under slabs.
