Drilling and rodding from the side
Drilling and rodding from the top
Drilling and rodding from inside the foundation

The correct answer is: Removing the soil next to the building and treating the area

The correct approach for treating earth that is filled next to a building for termites involves removing the soil next to the building and treating the area. This method allows for direct access to the site of potential infestation, ensuring that the treatment thoroughly penetrates the soil where termites may reside. By removing the soil, pest control technicians can apply the treatment directly to the foundation and surrounding areas, enhancing the effectiveness of the anti-termite substances used. Removing the soil not only provides a clear method for applying treatments but also allows inspectors to identify any signs of termite activity or structural vulnerabilities that may otherwise be hidden. It is a proactive measure that not only aids in the immediate treatment but also helps in long-term prevention by ensuring that the barriers are properly established and maintained.
