I ars scheduling treatment of your structure for Wednesday, March 27 , 1991 at 1 Oam, weather permitting. ynelle will be in charge of treatment. I am enclosing an information sheet which should explain why we try to delay treatment until the carpenter ants break dormacy. Treatment then is much more effective. I highly recommend you see about laying another vapor barrier in your crawl. pace, over the old vapor barrier. Use black, six mil . 006" ) polyethylene plastic filet firmly secured to the kneewall and the foundation pads. The plastic fit.m should not touch any wood of the foundation posts. Styrofoam should be placed between the two layers to break capillarity and to raise the new vapor barrier- should flooding result from the high water table. -- I hi ''YY ■ N a + I Recommendations ` ! ` fir+ 4 4b T1 ndtus M' i5oc,- andhao t 3411 %..�A& 341 } ' ' .a ` a Thte%-e ant' control 5 a , (March' �** '� tC3 ao►� � r4octoer� ' �.off' Springy � ..� to 'tr oLo control caenter 'n-tss , during wer , �naoat ' � . . dormant period ,,'(October hrou- March) . r 5 70.
