What Exactly is Pre-Construction Termite Treatment?
Arrow Pest Control has been in the “Pre-Construction Termite Treatment” business for over 50 years and still going strong today! Pre-construction Termite Treatment is also referred to as a “Pre-Treat.” Most new structures in the United States are treated against termites during the initial construction process. The common treatment consists of termiticides being applied to the soil before the slab is poured. This is done as a means of blocking concealed access of subterranean termites (not dry wood termites) to a structure. The preventative cost of a Pre-Construction Treatment is minimal in comparison to the monetary damages termites can cause a home after it is built! Every full termite Pre-Construction treatment Arrow performs comes with a renewable damage warranty for the new property owner.
Types of Pre-Construction Termite Treatment
- Soil Treatment: Arrow will pretreat the soil before the concrete slab is poured. This is the most common method of termite pretreatment for new construction projects.
- Borate Treatment: Arrow will treat the wood studs of the structure at the dried-in stage of construction. This product is a good alternative to a soil treatment, and also considered a green termite treatment.
- Termi-mesh: Termi-mesh is a green physical termite barrier commonly applied to the piping penetrations right before the concrete slab is poured. This finely woven mesh will last the lifetime of the structure, and termites cannot penetrate this high quality stainless steel barrier. Termi-mesh, in most cases, can only be used as as add-on termite service and not a stand alone treatment for new construction projects.
- Sentricon Baiting System: The Sentricon system is installed around the perimeter of the structure once all the landscaping is completed for your new construction project. The system is monitored yearly and is available for new construction projects and existing structures.

Termite Control FAQs
Is DIY Pest Control a Worth It?
Do-it-yourself pest control might seem cost-effective, but it often falls short because most homeowners lack the knowledge and tools to manage infestations effectively. Many pests have complex life cycles, hiding places, and behaviors that require specialized approaches to control. DIY methods may only address surface issues, leading to recurring infestations and, in some cases, increased pest resistance.
A local pest control company offers expertise in identifying pest species, understanding their behaviors, and applying targeted treatments that are safe and long-lasting. They also have access to advanced tools and chemicals that aren’t available to the public, ensuring more effective results. Plus, pest control experts follow strict safety protocols to protect people, pets, and the environment. Hiring a professional company saves time, effort, and future costs by
How much does pest control cost?
The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including the type of pest, the size of the property, the severity of the infestation, and the treatment method needed. For a one-time service, homeowners might pay anywhere from $100 to $500, while monthly or quarterly plans typically range from $40 to $70 per visit. Of course, this all depends on the company you choose to work with.
Specialized treatments for pests like termites or bedbugs can be more expensive, often starting around $500 and going up from there. Getting a quote from a local pest control company is the best way to understand specific costs based on your situation.
Are pest control products safe for my family and pets?
Yes! Professional pest control products are designed to be used in and around the home, and are generally safe for children and pets to be around. When potentially troublesome products are used, they're generally protected from tampering using things like locked rodent stations.
How long do pest control treatments last?
The length of time a product works varies, but most products last at least 3 months after application. The products used will last between treatments, and will continue to exterminate pests for months.
