Slash New Construction Termite Costs Save Thousands Instantly

Cost-Effective Termite Prevention Strategies

1. **Pre-Construction Soil Treatment**: One of the most common and effective methods is treating the soil with termiticides before construction begins. This creates a chemical barrier that prevents termites from entering the building¹. While the cost can vary, it's often a fraction of what you might spend on repairs after an infestation.

2. **Physical Barriers**: Incorporating physical barriers such as stainless steel mesh or sand barriers during construction can deter termites. These barriers are a one-time investment that can last the lifetime of the building².

3. **Baiting Systems**: These systems involve placing bait stations around the construction site, which attract and eliminate termites before they reach the structure. While more costly upfront, they offer ongoing protection and monitoring, potentially saving thousands in future repair costs³.
