Soil Poisoning Treatment in the Philippines: Price & Coverage Before Construction

Most DIY house construction in the Philippines often overlook the importance of soil poisoning or soil treatment before breaking the ground and beginning construction. Same goes to buildings not constructed by professional building contractors. When Filipinos acquire a residential lot, soil testing isn’t even done prior to buying unless the land being bought will also be used for agricultural purposes. However, there are areas that have land terrains more susceptible to termite reproduction. Based on studies, there are cities and provinces in the Philippines with more termite infestations than others.

Owning a house in the Philippines is a life-goal/dream that is quite difficult to achieve for most because of the increasing prices of real estate properties in the country. So if and when the time comes that we’re able to buy land for residential use, we go straight away to construction not knowing the importance of soil poisoning or soil treatment against termites and wood-damaging organisms.

If you want your investment built to last a lifetime, continue reading below for the basics of soil treatment before construction, specifically anti termite soil poisoning.

What is Soil Poisoning or Soil Treatment?

Soil poisoning is the first step you need to do before breaking ground and starting construction. It is under a structural program of pest management used by most pest control companies including Mc Ace Service Provider Inc. to prevent termite infestation. Not commonly known in the country, destructive subterranean termites such as Formosan termites incur millions of pesos of structural damages in houses and buildings annually in the Philippines. Soil poisoning or soil treatment is done to prevent this from happening.

Types of Soil Poisoning Coverage in the Philippines

Repellent – Repellent termiticides works as a protection against entry of termites into the land that you own. They function well when treated around the house and repel the termites aways from the area. The termites would deliberately avoid the poisoned soil. This type of soil poisoning is done pre-construction.

Non-Repellent – On the other hand, non-repellent termiticides literally do not repel termites. Termites are not able to detect and avoid non-repellent termiticides. Hence, all termites that unknowingly roam around the treated soil are eventually exterminated.

Soil Treatment Price in the Philippines

Soil treatment before construction is necessarily done and consistently followed through during the stages of the sub-structure construction. The procedure must only be done by a pest control company in order to ensure thorough step-by-step extermination and prevention processes.

Soil poisoning price or rates depend largely on the size of the property or the lot area per square meter. Prices range from ₱2,000 to up to ₱150,000 in average estimates of pest control companies in the Philippines. It also depends on the brands of termiticides or soil guards used, and additionally, the effectiveness of the treatment depends on the best choice of brands, proper formulation, and precise application to the soil.

The coverage of treatment must also be extensive to the lot area and to be sprayed or dispersed evenly into the soil. The common recommendation among Philippine soil treatment providers is 5-7 liters of termiticide solution per square meter.
