Porches & Additions

[Image: fix]

Porches & additions may seem insignificant, but the junction point of porches and additions is a major point of infestation in many of the homes that I have inspected.

The graph above depicts the pier arrangement of a typical "shotgun" style house. When porches and additions are added, additional piers are placed in contact with the piers of the existing structure.

When treating these areas the pest control operator should take extra care to make sure that the termiticide is applied to form a continuous barrier.
