Who is responsible for covering the new construction soil treatment area with visquine within 24 hours of treatment?

The contractor is responsible for covering the new construction soil treatment area with visquine within 24 hours of treatment. This requirement is in place to ensure that the chemical treatment applied to the soil is protected from weather elements and potential disturbances that could compromise its effectiveness. Properly covering the treated area prevents contaminants from infiltrating the treatment and ensures that the protective barrier remains intact before the construction process moves forward. By designating this responsibility to the contractor, it clarifies accountability and helps maintain industry standards for pest management in new construction projects.
