Building in Florida means termites are already planning their next meal; get ahead of them before the first board goes down.
Pre-Construction Termite Control in South & Central Florida
Building something new is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make — protecting it before the walls go up is one of the smartest moves you can make.
Pre-construction termite control means treating your home or building during the construction phase, when every surface is accessible, and treatment is most effective. Price Termite & Pest Control works directly with contractors throughout South and Central Florida to apply liquid termiticide and borate lumber treatments before drywall and flooring go in — giving your structure thorough, long-term protection that's nearly impossible to achieve after the fact.
Here's why contractors and property owners choose Price Termite & Pest Control:
- Soil and lumber pretreatments applied at the right phase of construction
- Full coverage of concrete and wood components before they're enclosed
- Termiticide treatments that work fast and hold up long-term
- An estimating team is available to review project specs of any size
- 38 years serving Florida builders, contractors, and homeowners
From single-family additions to multi-story commercial builds, our trained specialists handle projects of every scale.

Build It Right Before the Walls Go Up
Termite damage is expensive, largely invisible until it's serious, and rarely covered by homeowners' insurance. The best time to stop a colony from ever taking hold is before your structure is closed in — and that's exactly what our treatment is designed to do.
How the Pre-Construction Termite Treatment Process Works
Working with your contractor's timeline, here's what to expect from start to finish:
- Contact Price early in the planning phase so our estimating department can review your project specifications and recommend the right treatment approach
- We assess key factors — construction type, framing materials, foundation design, and scheduling requirements — to determine whether soil pretreatment, lumber pretreatment, or a combination is the right fit
- For soil pretreatments, our specialists apply liquid termiticide directly to the soil beneath and around the concrete foundation, forming a continuous chemical barrier that blocks subterranean termite entry from the ground up
- For lumber pretreatments (borate treatments), we apply a chemical barrier directly to wood framing and structural surfaces before drywall and interior finishing are installed — protecting the framing itself from termite feeding and fungal decay
- Treatments are applied while the structure is still open, giving our technicians access to concrete and wood components that are difficult or impossible to reach once construction is complete
- We coordinate directly with contractors of every size to make sure treatments are completed on schedule without disrupting your build timeline

Why Pre-Construction Termite Control Is Worth It
Building a new home or tackling a major renovation is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. The last thing you want is for termites to quietly work their way through the wood framing, flooring, or structural supports after construction is complete — when access is limited, and damage is already done.
Here's why homeowners in Florida choose pre-construction termite protection:
- Termite damage is rarely covered by standard homeowners' insurance, leaving repair costs entirely out of pocket
- Florida's warm, humid climate creates year-round conditions that termite colonies thrive in
- A mature termite colony feeds continuously, causing structural damage long before it's ever visible
- Pretreatment allows full coverage of concrete slabs, soil, and lumber framing before they're sealed off
- Addressing the risk at the construction phase is significantly more cost-effective than post-infestation remediation
- New builds and major renovations present a limited window where comprehensive protection is most effective
The wood framing going up today is what your home or building will rely on for decades. Knowing exactly what can be done during the construction phase — and when — makes all the difference in how well that structure holds up over time.
