What is the typical pressure range that should be used for termite treatment?

The typical pressure range of 25 to 40 psi for termite treatment is designed to effectively deliver the treatment solution into the soil and create an effective barrier against termites. This pressure range ensures that the termiticide can penetrate the soil adequately without causing excessive runoff or dispersal of the treatment solution.

Using a pressure that is too low may not allow for sufficient penetration into the soil, thereby compromising the effectiveness of the treatment. Conversely, higher pressures could lead to oversaturation and potential contamination of nearby areas or groundwater, as well as increased risks of damaging structures or existing soil conditions. Therefore, the 25 to 40 psi range strikes a balance between efficacy and safety, making it the standard for effective termite treatments.
