Build on a Foundation That Termites Can't Touch
Pre-construction termite control is the most effective protection you can give a new build — treating soil and lumber before walls close in means full access to every vulnerable surface. Once construction is complete, that window is gone.
How Pre-Construction Termite Treatment
Here's what the process looks like from the first stake in the ground to final inspection:
- Project review: our estimating team evaluates construction type, scope, and specifications to determine the right treatment approach
- Soil pretreatment: liquid termiticide is applied to the soil beneath the concrete foundation, forming a continuous chemical barrier before the slab is poured
- Lumber and borate treatment: wood framing and structural surfaces receive a borate application while they're fully exposed, reaching areas that will never be accessible again once drywall goes up
- Coverage confirmation: treated areas are documented to meet Florida's pre-construction termite control requirements and contractor timelines
- Coordination with your build schedule: we work directly with contractors of every size to keep treatments on schedule without slowing down the project
South Florida's sandy soil, high water table, and warm humidity create ideal conditions for subterranean and Formosan termites. Our service gives a new structure the kind of protection that's simply not possible after construction wraps.
Why Builders and Homeowners Choose Price
From single-family home additions to multi-story commercial builds, Price Termite & Pest Control brings field-tested experience to pre-construction termite prevention across South and Central Florida. The estimating team is hands-on, the treatments are applied by trained specialists who understand Florida's slab-on-grade construction and local termite pressure, and the coordination with contractors is direct and reliable. When termite damage isn't covered by homeowners' insurance and a colony can go undetected until serious structural harm is done, getting it right before the foundation is poured isn't optional — it's the only approach that makes sense.
38 Years of Termite Expertise Behind Every Pre-Construction Treatment
Since 1988, Price Termite & Pest Control has been helping builders and contractors get pre-construction termite protection right the first time — no callbacks, no guesswork.
38 years of fieldwork means we know exactly where termite pressure starts and how to stop it before a single wall goes up.
Why Pre-Construction Termite Control Is Worth Every Penny
Most termite damage goes unnoticed until it's already serious. By the time homeowners spot the warning signs — warped wood, hollow-sounding framing, or damaged drywall — a colony has often been feeding for months, sometimes years. The repairs that follow are costly, disruptive, and rarely covered by standard homeowners' insurance.
That's exactly why addressing termite pressure before the walls go up is one of the smartest decisions a builder or homeowner can make. The construction phase offers something you simply won't have access to later — every surface, every framing member, and every inch of soil beneath the foundation is fully exposed and treatable.
Builders and homeowners in Florida choose pre-construction termite control for reasons that matter long after move-in day:
- Soil pretreatments create a chemical barrier beneath the concrete slab before the foundation is poured, blocking subterranean termite entry from the ground up
- Borate lumber treatments protect framing surfaces before drywall and interior finishes cover them permanently
- Full structural access during construction means more thorough coverage than any post-construction treatment can achieve
- Pre-treatment is significantly less expensive than repairing termite damage after it occurs
- Canal-front, preserve-backed, and waterfront properties face elevated termite pressure — addressing it during the build is far more effective than reacting afterward
- Slab-on-grade construction common throughout the region is especially vulnerable without a proper soil barrier in place
- Pre-construction treatment helps protect an investment that most homeowners' insurance policies will not cover if termite damage occurs
The construction window is the one opportunity to protect a structure from the inside out, and once it closes, that access is gone for good.
