Before the concrete is poured the right moment for protection
Termites live in the soil and tunnel through sand and gravel towards any organic material. Concrete alone does not stop them, because they find their way through hairline cracks, construction joints and pipe penetrations. Pre-construction termite treatment builds a chemical barrier in the soil and on surfaces before the floors cover them, and that is what makes it different from any treatment applied afterwards.
Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us your district and the stage the construction has reached, and we agree a time that fits the work schedule on site.
- Soil and foundation
- Backfill and slab
- Joints and gaps
What does pre-construction termite treatment cover?
These are the surfaces and areas the treatment goes through; the construction stage and site conditions determine what is actually applied.
- Soil under the slab
The soil is treated after excavation and before the concrete is poured, forming the first barrier because termites rise through the soil directly towards the structure.
- Foundation sides
The vertical sides of the foundation are treated before backfilling, because this zone will be buried and remains a potential termite entry path.
- Backfill zones
The backfill soil compacted around the foundation is treated layer by layer, since loose fill moves termites more easily than undisturbed ground.
- Concrete joints
Expansion joints and construction joints are treated because termites use them as a direct entry point once the floor slabs are poured over them.
- Pipe penetrations
Openings where drainage, electrical and water pipes pass through the slab are treated, as they are among the most overlooked entry points in construction projects.
- Internal wall bases
The base of internal walls is treated before the floor is poured, because termites move horizontally in the soil then rise through the wall base.
How do we start?
Three simple steps, and we take care of the rest.
Call or message us on WhatsApp
Tell us the service you need and your district.
Tell us the construction stage
Tell us where construction stands, whether the excavation and foundation preparation are done, and which district the site is in.
We agree a time and you prepare the site
We agree on a time that fits the site's work schedule, and you make sure the treatment area is accessible and that backfilling has not been completed yet.
Treatment and checking afterwards
Treatment is applied to the soil, foundation and required zones, then you check that joints and pipe penetrations were covered before construction continues.
A service that comes to your door
- We come to youOur team arrives at your home with its equipment.
- One callCall or message us on WhatsApp and we arrange the rest.
- Other pest control services with the same teamWe also treat cockroaches, bed bugs, rodents, ants, mosquitoes, flies, reptiles, and pigeons and other birds.
- Describe your site in your own wordsA call or a WhatsApp message is enough to explain the construction stage and what you need.
One worry is that the treatment will delay the construction schedule. The coordination starts when you call and tell us the construction stage, and we agree a time that does not interrupt the work on site.

Questions about Pre-construction termite treatment
When exactly should I request pre-construction termite treatment?
The right time is after excavation and foundation preparation are complete and before the floor slab is poured and backfilling is finished. If backfilling has already been done in any area, that zone is handled differently, so it helps us when you tell us what has already been completed on site when you call.
Can treatment still be done if backfilling is already complete in some areas?
Yes, but the method changes: compacted backfill is injected rather than sprayed on the surface. So when you call, tell us which areas have been backfilled and which are still open, so we can prepare the right approach for each part of the site.
What should I prepare on site before the treatment appointment?
Make sure open soil areas and foundation locations are accessible, and that other work on site does not block the way to them. Let us know in advance if any concrete pouring is scheduled around the same time so we can coordinate the order of work.
Does the type of soil on site affect how treatment is done?
Yes, the loose sandy soil common differs from clay in how fast it absorbs treatment and how deep it penetrates. Coarse sandy soil absorbs quickly and may need more material to form a continuous barrier. That is why we ask about soil type or assess it on site.
Is it enough for the contractor to spray a general pesticide during construction?
General insecticides are not designed to remain in the soil and form a lasting barrier. Pre-construction termite treatment uses materials made for this purpose and applied in a way that ensures even coverage of all risk areas, which random spraying during construction does not achieve.
