Termite Soil Treatment

Soil treatment involves applying liquid termiticide to the soil beneath and around your foundation to create a chemical barrier that termites cannot cross. It's one of the most effective long-term prevention methods available, protecting your property from subterranean termites that enter structures from the ground.

For new construction, soil treatment should be applied after grading and before the concrete slab is poured. This ensures the termiticide creates a continuous, unbroken barrier beneath the entire foundation where termites are most likely to attack.

Absolutely. For existing buildings, we use trenching methods—digging a narrow trench around the foundation perimeter, applying termiticide, and backfilling. We can also drill through concrete slabs to treat soil beneath, creating a comprehensive protective barrier.

Modern termiticides typically provide protection for 5 to 10 years, depending on soil conditions, the product used, and environmental factors like rainfall and soil composition. We recommend periodic inspections to ensure your barrier remains effective.

Yes. We use EPA-registered termiticides specifically designed for soil application. When applied by licensed professionals following proper procedures, they pose minimal risk to people, pets, and the environment. The treatment is applied to soil, not living spaces.

In many Florida jurisdictions, yes. A certificate of pre-construction termite treatment is often required before the building department will issue permits or approve slab inspections. We provide official documentation for your records and submission to local authorities.
