What is a Pre-Treat and why is it important?
Your home is usually the most expensive investment/purchase you will ever make. Termites cause more than 5 billion dollars worth of property damage each year and constitute one of the biggest threats your home will ever face. Termites tunnel from their colony in the soil, constantly searching for food and water. They will follow cracks, crevices or plumbing lines into your home. They only require an opening 1/64-inch wide to squeeze into your home. A pre-treat should be conducted on any new home/structure that is being built. The homeowner/contractor/builder should contact the pest control company to conduct a pre-treatment on the structure. From there, the pest control company treats the soil to protect the home against termites. In turn, yearly inspections are the best investments you can make.
