Termite proofing your home, best practices..

[JaredI]

Why not use termite proof sand under and around the foundations, termite flashings around the top of the foundations, termicide barrier where the wood meets the foundation and a boric solution on all the wood. Dont use boracare, mix it yourself there are places on the web that give you the recipe.

I wouldnt build on a slab either. UofH sell or has a part in termite sand on the islands, I believe it made out of basalt and only need to be 3" thick.
