Pre-construction anti-termite treatment

Soil treatment before the ground slab is cast, for new houses, extensions, and developments.

Soil treatment being sprayed into foundation trenches on a building site.

Treating the soil before the slab goes down is the cheapest time to protect a building from subterranean termites. It is scheduled with the contractor so it happens between compaction and casting.

Who it is for

Homeowners building or extending, renovation and building contractors, and developers.

How the treatment works

After the ground is compacted and before the vapour barrier and slab, termiticide is applied evenly to the soil and along foundation trenches, pipe entries, and wall lines. A treatment record is issued for the project file.

Before the visit

The site address, the area to be treated, the casting schedule, and the contractor's contact so the treatment can be timed.
