Pros and Cons of Slab/Post n' Pier

[Royall]

Just before pouring the slab for the garage, we had to have the ground treated for termites. It is required by the county for all slabs and they want to see the receipt for it before the will final the structure. We the man came out to do the work I point blank asked him if this was just a waist of time or not and he told me that the treatment will only last about one and a half to two years. It appears to be just another way to keep people employed here in Hawaii. With that said it is still easier to re-treat under the house on P&P. I have come across two items that are supposed to stop the termites. One was a fine stainless steel mesh and the other was a basalt rock that is crushed to a specific size. I believe the latter was developed at Uof H.
