New Construction Pre-Treatment Services
Protect Your Investment from Day One
Building a new home is a milestone filled with excitement, anticipation, and a fair amount of stress. From design details to construction schedules, every decision matters, and none is more crucial than protecting your future home from the ground up. Long before the first piece of furniture arrives, pests like termites, ants, and rodents can find ways to threaten your investment.
Kilter Termite and Pest Control provides pest control services for new construction, aimed at preventing infestations before they occur. By applying treatments at key stages of construction, we establish a protective barrier that endures for decades. This proactive approach offers lasting peace of mind for homeowners and builders.
The Ultimate Foundation: How Our Pre-Treatments Protect Your Home
Pre-treatment for new construction is a strategic defense system used during your build's earliest and most effective stage. At this point, before insulation and interior finishes are installed, our technicians can access the framing, foundation, and soil, allowing us to create barriers that pests cannot breach.
This one-time process provides long-term benefits for your home. Once applied, the treatments serve as a barrier, preventing destructive pests from ever entering your living space.
Our pre-treatment services address the most common and damaging threats to homes:
- Subterranean termites
- Drywood termites
- Ants
- Rodents
By merging proven science with precise application, we provide long-lasting protection against the pests most likely to threaten your home.

Advanced Protection for Lasting Peace of Mind
A new home is one of the biggest financial commitments you’ll make. That’s why protecting it from the start isn’t an expense but an upgrade that safeguards your investment for years.
Pre-treatment is far more effective than trying to eliminate pests after they've already entered. Once the soil, framing, and foundation are treated, the protective agents stay in place. For example, our subterranean termite treatment includes a five-year warranty, yet the treatment itself continues to protect your home long after that because the product bonds to the wood.
As a leader in property protection since 1992, we depend on products and methods that have been tested and proven to last. Our technicians are trained to explain the science behind each recommendation, giving you confidence that you're making a wise, informed decision. When you choose pre-treatment with us, you’re purchasing a service that offers decades of dependable protection.
The Four-Point Principle for Effective Pest Prevention
Every decision we make, whether choosing products, designing application methods, or scheduling treatments, is guided by four principles.
Every pre-treatment solution meets high standards:
- Effectiveness for the targeted pest – We select proven treatments designed to stop termites, rodents, ants, and other pests before they cause damage.
- Safety for our customers – Once applied, our products are safe for families, children, and pets.
- Safety for our employees – Our technicians are trained and equipped to apply treatments safely, protecting ourselves and your property.
- Long-term value – We choose methods that last, providing homeowners and builders with a measurable return on investment through reduced risk of costly infestations.
Adhering to these standards in every aspect of our process has made us a trusted name in builder pest control services.

-
How do I protect my family and home from termite and rot damage?The most important step is to contact a pest control professional in your area for a complete inspection. Complete the recommendations and then ask the company for an extendable warranty.
-
What is the difference between tenting a house for termites and other treatments?Fumigation, also known as tenting, is one of the treatment options for dealing with Drywood termites. Localized “spot” treatment controls only the Drywood termite activity in the specific area and often involves drilling into infested areas. Drywood termite activity in the area is treated and a warranty for untreated areas may also be available. Ask you Kilter Representative for details. Keep in mind that control methods for Drywood termites do not control subterranean termites.
-
I have active termites, how much damage can they do?Subterranean termites would not be expected to create significant damage in a short period of time, but can cause severe damage over an extended period of time if left untreated. Kilter recommends you take action as soon as possible to begin the control process.
-
When are termites most common?
Once a colony is established, termites are a year-round problem. However, there is an increase in colony expansion activity during warm weather.
-
Can I treat my house for termites myself?
Legally yes, but total gallons of solution required to properly treat an average size structure can easily be 200, 300, or even 400 gallons. Unless you have the proper equipment, properly treating your home could be difficult and time consuming. In addition, the termiticides available to the homeowner for termite treatments are limited, and if bought retail, they may be expensive. Therefore, unless you are experienced and have the proper equipment, it is best to let a pest management professional treat the structure.
-
The pest control technician told me that for my own safety, I should leave the house during the treatment. Is that necessary?To ensure that the treatment is being done properly, the homeowner should observe the treatment process. Unless the homeowner is chemically sensitive, there should not be any adverse health problems associated with a treatment done correctly. Ask questions of the pest control technicians. Keep track of how long it takes them to do the job.
