Pre-construction termite control is a major selling point for new properties in Gauteng. The fear created by the thought of a termite infestation far outweighs those of ants, cockroaches and rodents. This is because termites can cause serious structural damage to properties which is usually not covered by insurance. Termites attack all wood based materials including, cupboards, floors, door & window frames and even the roof rafters. A termite infestation typically goes unnoticed for a long period as the little white ants stay well hidden. Once discovered, the damage can already be extensive!
In Gauteng, pre-construction termite control is essential as the climate promotes the infestation of both harvester and subterranean termites. All new construction projects should have a termite treatment conducted prior to the laying of concrete slabs and foundations. This includes residential dwellings, commercial buildings and industrial warehouses. Our pre-construction pest control services include treating the soil with a termiticide. The soil poisoning treatment eliminates the structure as a food source to nearby colonies by creating a physical barrier, ensuring long lasting termite control.
