With such construction, attack from termites is not very likely. However, if one should observe tunnels being buiit on the walls, tear them down and poison treat the ground on the outside at that point. There are many suitable poisons and instead of giving you ledgthy directions here, I suggest you either write me, care of this magazine or refer to paragraph 815-3.8 Soil Treatment on page 117 of the FHA Minimum Property Standards.

Any woodwork in the basement, such as posts, stairs, doors, etc. should be on top of the concrete basement floor instead of let-into it. Corrosion-proof metal plates under posts are desirable.

ARRC'WHE AD

End of joists and girders inset in concrete or masonry walls should be placed on a piece of non-corroding metal which is full length and width of the inset, and there should be an air space of not less than one inch around sides and ends of wood members.

There should be a clearance of at least two inches between house rn'alls of masonry and joints running parallel, and adjacent, to these walls.

No framing member of a house rvith a basement should be closer than eight inches to the gorund and siding should be at least six inches above the ground.

Pipes going through basement rvalls and floors should be inspected occasionally to make sure no termite tunnels are built along them.

When house walls are of solid brick or masonry block and the foundation is also of masonry, a poured reinforced concrete cap four inches thick should be placed about eight inches above outside grade line and extend full width and length of the rvalls. This is to protect the house contents as u'ell as joists against termites.

Any outside attachment like clothes-line posts, trellises etc. should be built so as not to provide termite patl-rs irrto the house.

All we need tc' do is to make a casual inspection occasionally ar.rd tear down any tunnels being built. Subterranean termites must have access to the ground and destroying their entrance-way to the house effectively stops them.

Exterior doors, at ground level, must be placed above these protective features.

Installing Termite Shields

Termite shields shoulcl extend at least two inches beyond the outside face of the foundation wall and then abruptly turned dorvn at a 45-degree angle at least another two inches. Also this can be done on the inside basement wall. If eitherivall is easily observed, just bending down the shielcl trvo inches, 'ivithout the two-inch extension, is sufficient.

All joints in shields should be full soldered and anchor
