3 Warnings!

#1 - This Subject is VERY Boring!

#1 - This Subject is VERY Boring!Fortunately, I am not above pandering & bribes!

#2 - Difficult to pick a level that works for everyone

-Too basic, lose the very experienced folks

-Too advanced, lose the beginners

who really need help

-Too advanced, lose the beginners

who really need help

Solution: Go with very basic version,

and ask the pro’s to help

#3 NM Dept of Ag - Cracking Down!mess up your calculations & you WILL be fined!

- Graph Paper

- Accurate drawings & measurements

- Accurately show & describe infestations

- Calculated gallons must = actual gallons

- Graph Paper

- Accurate drawings & measurements

- Accurately show & describe infestations

- Calculated gallons must = actual gallons

Make it clear & easy for NMDA to understand what you did & why

Before We Crunch the Numbers:

- Share experiences

- Ask Questions

- Examples from Jack Root

Not Talking about:

- Equipment calibration

- Mix Rates/Tank Mixes

- Application techniques

Before you start applying termiticide, Be Prepared:

- Graph Paper & Pencils

- Measuring Wheel (Univar Booth)

- Review sales quote

- Review mix already in tank

- Determine additional mix rate

- Determine construction type

- Read Label

Some Key Numbers:

- Horizontal Barrier

Some Key Numbers:

- Horizontal Barrier

1 gallon/10 square feetexample: floor

- Vertical Barrier

4 gallons/10 linear feet (per foot of depth)

examples: perimeters, control cracks, protrusions,

grade changes, bath traps, abutting slabs

Example 1 - 2000 Sq Foot House

Monolithic Slab

Pretreat Final Grade

Monolithic Slab

40’ x 50’ = 2000 square feet

2000 square feet = 200 gallons

Monolithic Slab

40’ x 50’ = 2000 square feet 40’ + 50’ + 40’ + 50’ = 180 lineal feet

2000 square feet = 200 gallons 180 lineal feet = 18 x 4 = 72 gallons

Monolithic Slab

2000 square feet = 200 gallons 180 lineal feet = 18 x 4 = 72 gallons

Total = 200 + 72 = 272 gallons

Floating Slab

40’ x 50’ = 2000 square feet

2000 square feet = 200 gallons, PLUS

Floating Slab

40’ x 50’ = 2000 square feet

2000 square feet = 200 gallons, PLUS

40’ + 50’ + 40’ + 50’ = 180 lineal feet

180 lineal feet = 18 x 4 = 72 gallons

Floating Slab

2000 square feet = 200 gallons, PLUS 180 lineal feet = 18 x 4 = 72 gallons

40’ + 50’ + 40’ + 50’ = 180 lineal feet

Floating Slab

2000 square feet = 200 gallons, PLUS 180 lineal feet = 18 x 4 = 72 gallons

40’ + 50’ + 40’ + 50’ = 180 lineal feet

Total = ( 200 + 72 ) + 72 = 344 gallons

Square Footage:

House 50’ x 40’ = 2000 sq. ft.

Garage 20’ x 20’ = 400 sq. ft.

Floating Slab

Control Cracks

Horizontal Barrier:

House 50’ x 40’ = 2000 sq. ft.

Garage 20’ x 20’ = 400 sq. ft.

2400 sq ft = 240 gallons

Interior Perimeter:

House 40 + 40 + 50 + 30 = 160

Garage 20 + 20 + 20 = 60

Floating Slab

Interior Perimeter:

House 40 + 40 + 50 + 30 = 160

Garage 20 + 20 + 20 = 60

Horizontal Barrier 240 gallons

Interior Perimeter 88

Exterior Perimeter 88

Plumbing 5.6

Control Cracks 24

Total: 445.6 gal

Example 4 - Geometric Shapes

-Not every house is a perfect square

- We need to calculate areas & perimeters

Area = L x W

Perimeter = L + L + W + W

Area = 3.14 x r x r (π * r2)

Circumference – 3.14 x r x 2 (π * d)

Area = ½ B x H

Perimeter = S1 + S2 + S3

Area = (T + B)/2 x H

Perimeter = S + S + T + B

Example 4 - Geometric ShapesArea = (T + B)/2 x H

Perimeter = S + S + T + B

Trapezoid

Rectangle + 2 triangles

Area = (A x B) x 3.14

Circumference – calculus

(fuggedaboutit)

Break complex shapes down

into smaller, bite-size chunks!

Example 5 - Sloping Grade

30 lineal feet

3’ depth to footer

30 lineal feet

Average depth to footer = High end + Low end/2

(3’ + 5’)/2 = 4’ average depth to footer

30 lineal feet

4’ average depth to footer

30 lineal feet x 4 = 12 gallons x 4’ average depth = 48 gallons

30 lineal feet

Course aggregates may also require more termiticide

Remember, Preparation is Key

- Graph Paper & Pencils

- Measuring Wheel

- Review sales quote

- Cheat Sheets

- Know construction style, label

- Ask for Help (no guessing)
