What type of treatment do you put under a concrete slab for termites & ants? Building is 24 x 24 with block walls and concrete slab insulated with rigid foam insulation (Styrofoam Square Edge). Would borate work? I am mainly concerned about ants getting into the foam. We live near Nashville, TN & I need to purchase products locally - we are pouring the slab the 24th.
Thanks!
