New Construction Pest Control Services

Pre-Treatment Pest Protection

Our pre-treatment services target the most common and harmful pests found in Escondido and throughout Southern California. By applying proven products to vulnerable areas during construction, we prevent infestations before they start.

We target:

• Subterranean termites, which tunnel up from the soil to attack the foundation and framing.
• Drywood termites, which burrow directly into wood structures, often unnoticed for years.
• Ants, which exploit small cracks in concrete or wood to form colonies within walls.
• Rodents, which find their way in through construction gaps and cause extensive gnawing and contamination.

Our pre-treatment approach is not a quick spray. It’s a precision-applied barrier built into your project for enduring protection.

Why New Construction Pre-Treatment Is Your First Line of Defense

Preventing pests from entering a building is much more effective and budget-friendly than trying to get rid of them after an infestation starts. With our new construction pre-treatment pest control, you’re not just responding to a problem—you’re preventing it from ever happening.

Even the strongest foundation has weaknesses. Tiny cracks, utility openings, and construction joints can all serve as entry points for termites and other pests. Once they get inside, it’s nearly impossible to detect until damage occurs. Our pre-treatment process seals those entry points early, creating a durable barrier beneath and within your structure.

With us, prevention is a key part of our thorough, customized pest management approach. Every property is different, as are the soil types and construction schedules. We use specialized products that bond to the wood and soil, forming an extended protective layer that resists breakdown in dry climates. This long-lasting bond provides peace of mind—your structure remains protected year after year.

Escondido’s mild winters and hot summers provide a year-round breeding ground for pests, especially subterranean termites that thrive in dry soils and moisture pockets around foundations. A pre-treatment is your first and most effective defense in this environment.

Thorough, Customized Pest Management: The Pre-Treatment Process

The success of any pest pre-treatment relies on precision and timing. We customize every service to fit your project’s needs, whether it’s a single-family home, multifamily unit, or commercial building. Our process is designed to provide full coverage, cause minimal disruption, and offer long-lasting protection.

Our step-by-step process includes:

• Pre-installation access – Treatments occur before insulation and interior finishes are installed. This allows full access to the foundation, framing, and soil, preventing critical areas from being missed.
• Foundational treatment – We apply a soil treatment before the slab is poured. This creates a subterranean termite barrier beneath the concrete, stopping colonies from emerging through cracks or expansion joints.
• Targeted wood protection – Exposed boards and framing members are treated with a protective application that penetrates the surface, preventing termites and ants from burrowing deeper into the wood.
• Access point sealing – Potential entry points, such as plumbing penetrations, utility conduits, and foundation seams, are sealed with durable materials like concrete or pest-resistant packing compounds.
• Finishing application – We complete the process with a final preventive treatment to other exposed areas, providing a full 360-degree shield around your structure.

Before beginning any work, we perform an inspection and assessment to confirm that the treatment plan aligns with your project’s soil makeup, structure type, and construction timeline. Our technicians work closely with builders and site managers to smoothly integrate into the construction schedule. Whether you’re overseeing a small addition or a large commercial project, we tailor our solutions to your needs.

By addressing vulnerabilities early, we help you maintain compliance with building codes and protect your warranty coverage, without delays or costly callbacks after the build is complete.
