Do builders of new homes guarantee their homes against termites?
During the early construction phase of a home, many builders do have a pest control operator treat the soil of the construction site before cement slabs or basement floors are poured. This process is called a pre-treatment. This process is done for a number of reasons. One of the primary reasons is that most lending institutions require a wood infestation report when the home sells. In order for the pest control operator to supply a satisfactory report, we must apply the chemical liquid pre-treatment. However, the builder only pays for the innitial subterranean termite treatment. The homeowner is responsible for any annual renewal cost.
