Protection Againsf Termites - Houses with Crawl Spaces

Our last previous issue covered protection against subterranean termite attack of houses with basements. All readers should refer to that first installment as it included good basic information.

When building houses with crawl spaces it is protect against attack from subterranean termites the materials needed for this protection can be sold ber dealers.

easy to and all by lum- fn crawl space construction, joists should be at least 18 inches and girders 12 inches above ground level. Twenty- four and eighteen inches respectively would be a lot better. Room for entrance and movement in the crawl space for inspection purposes is important.

One path for termites into a house with a crawl space is through steps and porches. The means of protection against this entrance were given in detail and were illustrafed in a. prior issue. Please refer to that issue.

Other entrances for subterranean termites into a house with a crawl space are:

1. Through tunnels which the termites build up on the foundation walls on the outside or inside surfaces.-

2. If. there are piers instead of foundation walls, the tunnel-s ryay be built up on one or more sides of the piers.

3. Through cracks on the inside of the foundalion walls or plers.

4. Free-standing terrnite mounds from the ground to some of the lower woodwork.

_ One way to protect against entrance through cracks is by building foundation walls or piers of pouied concrete that will remain free of cracks and be without Dorous areas.

When solid masonry foundation walls are uied, a poured reinforced concrete cap four inches thick on top of thi walls should extend the entire rvidth and length of the walls ; or place non-corroding metal termite shields o.n top of foun<lation walls, under tiie wood sill plates, extending full length and width of the walls.

When masonry or pressure treated wood piers are used to support the house, metal termite shields extending over entire top area of the piers should be installed.

Termite shields should extend at least two inches beyond all edges of foundation walls and piers and then abruptly turned down at a 45-degree angle at least another twb inches. If the outside face! of foundation walls or piers are easily observed, just bending down the shield twb inches on the outside, wit.hout the two-inch extension, is sufficient.

All the joints in shields should be full soldered and anchor bolt holes sealed lvith roofing grade coal-tar pitch.

Inspect semi-annually and if termite tunnels ari observed, tear them down and pois,on-treat the ground around that area. There are many suitable poisons ind instead of giving you lengthy directions here, I suggest you write me, care of this magazite, or refer to Paragraph 815-3.8, Soil Treatment, on pige 117 of the F.H.A. Minimum property Standards.

When lattice or skirting is used between pier supports, either it should (1) have no contact with the house and should be held in place by attachment to the piers o. by resting on the ground, or (2) if it hangs from the house wall it should not touch the piers or the ground. If (1) the skirting for self-protection can be of termite-resistant wood, treated wood or of a non-wood material. In this case there should be at least two inches between the skirting and any point of the house and the termite shields to enable easy inspection for termite tunnels. If (2) leave at least two-inch distance between the skirting and the piers, termite shields and ground for easy inspection.

Whether solid foundation walls or skirting is used, place a rot and termite proof soil cover with a vapor transmission rate of one-half perm or less on the ground. Lap the joints about four inches (mopping not necessary) and place tight against all walls, piers and pipes. First remove all sharp stones and pieces of wood off the ground. If the ground slopes, place the soil cover sheets shingle-wise to run-off to the outside any water that gains entrance to the crawl space. Crawl space must be well drained to keep dry as possible. If soil cover is placed over ground that has been poison treated, make sure the poison is not a kind that will destroy the soil cover. When soil covers are used with solid foundation wall construction. F.H.A. requires at least two wall ventilators with a net free ventilating area of no Iess than 1/1500 of the area of the crarvl space.

Although not proven by tests, the writer's investigations have convinced him that a good unpunctured soil cover, properly put in place, is the best protection against termite attack in a house r,vith a crawl soace-and certainlv is the best safeguard against moisture'coming from the ground. It protects against free-standing mounds as well as against tunnels over supports.

Hang piping from girders and joists instead of laf ing on supports extending to the ground. Thoroughly poisontreat the earth where pipes go into the ground unless a rot and termite-proof soil cover is placed tight around the pipes. Sealing the holes in the soil cover around the pipes with roofing grade coal-tar pitch would be helpful.

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

There should be a clearance of at least two inches between house walls of masonry and joists running parallel, and adiacent. to these walls.

When house walls are of solid brick or masonry block and the foundation is also of maso,nry, a poured reinforced concrete cap four inches thick should be placed about eight inches above outside srade line and extend full width anc length of the walls. This is to protect the house contents as well a"s joists against termites.

Any outside attachment like clothesline posts, trellises etc. should be built so as not to provide termite paths into the house.

Hollow Tree Lumber Co. Merges

The merger of Hollow Tree Lumber Co., one of Ukiah's most important industries, with Oregon-Washington Plywood Co., a major industry in Oregon, has been announced by W. M. Moores, company president. The transaction includes a consolidation of the extensive operations of the land and timber holdings in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties of W. M. Moores and W. H. A. Smith.

The complete present management of the sawmills at Ukiah, Annapolis and Gualala, and of the timber operations continues without change. However, Mr. Moores indicated the possibility e1 the company's expansion in operations by the building of one or more stud mills in this area to supplement the present volume of redwood manufacturing of the corporation.

Hollow Tree Lumber Co., whose sawmill ooerations in Mendocino County r,vere initiated in 7946, has been con- tinually expanding its sawmill and timber facilities to a point of current production of 60,000,000 board feet of redwood lumber per annum. The operation involves the logging of sufficient timber in this locality to take care of the company's mills as well as approximately 20,000,000 board feet per annum of fir and pine supplied to plyr,vood and sawmill plants not associated with the corporation.
