What formulation of chemicals is commonly used in pest control near foundations?

In pest control near foundations, liquid formulations are commonly used due to their effectiveness in penetration and distribution. Liquid pesticides can easily be applied around the foundation to create a barrier against various pests such as termites, ants, and other insects that may attempt to invade homes.

These formulations allow for precise application, which is important for ensuring coverage in hard-to-reach areas, including cracks and crevices where pests may enter. Liquid formulations also offer flexibility regarding dilution rates, enabling pest control professionals to adjust concentrations based on the specific pest issue and the environment.

While solid, gas, and granular formulations have their own uses in pest control, they are generally not as suitable for application around foundations. Solid formulations may not provide the same level of penetration or barrier capability, gas formulations are typically used for specific situations that require fumigation, and granular formulations may take longer to activate as they rely on moisture and can be less effective against immediate threats at the foundation level. Therefore, liquid formulations are preferred for their efficiency and quicker action in protecting structures.
