A pre-construction termite treatment typically involves which primary application method?
1

✓ Correct Answer
2
Applying a wood preservative to all lumber before it is delivered to the job site
3
Fumigating the entire structure with a gas termiticide after framing is complete
4
Installing termite bait stations at 10-foot intervals around the completed structure's perimeter
Explanation
Pre-construction (pre-treat) termite treatments are soil treatments applied before or during construction — typically to the soil beneath slab foundations, around plumbing penetrations, and along the exterior perimeter — to create a chemical barrier before the structure is built. This is distinct from post-construction treatments which must penetrate existing structures.
