How can one construct to prevent termite infestation?
Here are 3 important factors related to this issue: (a) Although termites can potentially chew through foam, it is a proven fact that they do not ingest EPS foam for any nutrient value, hence the risk of them foraging into foam in the same manner as they do wood is greatly reduced. (b) The most basic concern is that the termites will attempt to access the foam below grade since the vast majority of termites are subterranean – so the most logical defense against attack is to protect the EPS foam below grade. (c) It’s also a proven fact that termites will seek means of protecting themselves from exposure to the exterior daylight. Therefore, if means are provided to eject the termites to grade condition around the building, then the termites are forced out to the surface and will then construct mud shelter tubes up the foundation or building face above grade, thus indicating their potential locations of strike at any building site. Some EPS manufacturers impregnate their foam products wit
