New Construction Pre-Treatment Services in Orange
Protect Your New Build from Pests
Congratulations on taking the exciting step of building your dream home. From choosing finishes to coordinating with your builder, every detail is important, and each decision influences the comfort and security of your new home. While pest control might not be the first thing on your mind, it is just as vital as the foundation beneath your home or the roof above it. Without proactive protection, termites, rodents, and other pests that thrive in Orange County’s climate can quickly threaten your investment.
At Kilter Termite and Pest Control, we consider new construction pre-treatment a key part of protecting your home long-term. We work with homeowners and builders to smoothly incorporate advanced pest barriers into new builds in Orange, avoiding delays, disruptions, or unnecessary costs. With an established process, a 5-year warranty, and decades of local insights, we protect your home from the very first day.
Building in Orange Means Proactive Pest Defense
Orange County’s warm, semi-arid climate generates year-round pest pressure that can threaten new homes. Subterranean termites are always present, with colonies capable of causing structural damage before any signs appear. During seasonal Santa Ana winds, rodents are often driven from surrounding open areas into residential neighborhoods, seeking shelter in new construction. Homes built in the Orange Hills or along expanding communities near the 55 and 22 freeways are especially at risk, as development encroaches on areas bordered by natural habitats.
These conditions are not just risks. They are realities that every builder and homeowner must consider. The most effective strategy is to prepare your home’s defenses during construction. Addressing issues during the “studs-out” phase provides comprehensive and cost-efficient protection, covering every exposed surface before it is sealed behind drywall or concrete. This stage also allows for accurate application of barriers that defend against termites, ants, and rodents for the structure's lifespan.
As a leader in safeguarding homes and businesses, we draw on decades of local insights to create strategies tailored to this area's unique pest environment. By integrating treatment smoothly into your construction schedule, we make proactive protection simple and effective as part of the building process.
Our Pre-Treatment Blueprint
Protecting a new Orange County home requires more than just a quick surface treatment. That’s why we created a pre-treatment blueprint—a careful, multi-step process that protects your investment from all sides.
Our pest prevention plan in Orange includes:
- Site preparation and protection – Before treatment begins, our technicians carefully shield sensitive installations such as windows, HVAC units, and plumbing systems. This preparation allows us to apply treatments only where intended, preserving the integrity of your building.
- Subterranean termite soil and wood treatment – Our Orange preventative pest team apply a specialized barrier to the soil beneath and around your foundation, including the bottom plates of the wood framing. This barrier forms a lasting line of defense against subterranean termites. Backed by a 5-year warranty, this treatment is designed to last for the life of your home, giving you confidence that one of the region’s most destructive pests will stay at bay.
- Drywood termite and ant framing treatment – All exposed studs and boards are treated to prevent termites and ants from exploiting untreated wood. By coating the structural framework during construction, we create a barrier that stops infestation before it starts.
- Proactive rodent exclusion – Rodents are opportunists, exploiting even the smallest gaps to gain entry. During the pre-treatment phase, we carry out a “rodent packing” process that identifies and seals potential entry points around pipes and conduits. Using concrete and mesh reinforcements, our team creates barriers achievable only before final finishes are installed.
- Final preventative barrier – As the build nears completion, we apply a final preventative barrier to exposed areas, deterring ants and common pests from establishing colonies as your home transitions from construction to occupancy.
This multi-layered approach offers unmatched coverage, making pest protection a seamless part of your home instead of an afterthought.
