FAQ
Common Questions
Is pre-construction termite treatment required in Florida?
Yes. Florida building code (Section 1816 of the Florida Building Code) requires soil pre-treatment for subterranean termites on all new construction before the concrete slab is poured.
When during construction should pre-treatment happen?
Treatment must occur after all underground utilities are in place and the soil is graded, but before the concrete slab is poured. We coordinate directly with your builder to hit the right window.
Do you work with production builders?
Yes. We work with individual homeowners, custom builders, and large production builders throughout Central Florida.
How long does pre-treatment take?
Most residential pre-treatments are completed in 1–3 hours depending on the size of the slab area.
