Better to apply outside or inside of crawl space ?

I am building a new home and the block and foundation are finished. I have the opportunity to apply on the inside of my block now before house starts to be built. Any advantages of trenching inside over outside ? or is it recommended to just do the outside.

Answer:

Inside the crawl space you would need to trench around any foundation piers with Termidor SC or Taurus SC that have direct soil contact and support the home but for the actual foundation, trenching around the exterior perimeter of the foundation would be all that is required for the 10 year barrier protection against Subterranean Termites.

Please view our Subterranean Termite Guide for more information.
