Guide to Pre-Treatment Termite Protection for New Construction
Parish Pest Control offers the most comprehensive termite protection available for new construction: a two-phase treatment plan that includes both a pre-construction and a post-construction treatment, backed by an unlimited damage repair warranty.
What Is a Pre-Treatment Plan?
A termite pre-treatment plan involves two stages:
1. Pre-Construction TreatmentThis treatment is applied during the early stages of construction, before the foundation is pouredor framing begins. It lays the foundation for protection by creating a chemical barrier in the soil todeter termite intrusion.
2. Post-Construction TreatmentThis treatment is completed after construction is finished, within one year of the pre-treatment. Itreinforces the original barrier and ensures continuous protection.
Both treatments must be completed for full protection and warranty eligibility.
Unlimited Damage Repair Warranty
When both treatments are completed, your structure will be covered by an unlimited damage repair warranty against subterranean termites. This is the highest level of termite protection available, ensuring that any future termite-related structural damage will be repaired at no cost to you.
Warranty conditions include completion of both treatments within one year and adherence to ongoing maintenance requirements.
Regulated by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry
Termite control in Louisiana is strictly regulated. Our treatments are performed according to state-mandated guidelines to ensure the highest standards of safety and effectiveness.
Treatment Process & Compliance
Our treatments follow strict standards set by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry, including:
• Trenching around the foundation
• Drilling at expansion joints and slab penetrations
• Treatment of bath traps and slab openings
These methods ensure the structure is thoroughly protected from all subterranean entry points.
Importance of Annual Contracts & Booster Treatments
Your initial treatment is only the beginning. We highly recommend maintaining your termite contract as it is the only effective way to protect your structure long-term.
• Contracts renew annually at the discretion of both the customer and the company
• A detailed inspection must be performed annually
• Annual renewal fees must be paid to maintain coverage
IMPORTANT: If your structure is not covered under an active termite contract and a termite issue arises, a full retreatment of the property will be required at full cost to the customer.
Annual Inspection Includes:
• Thorough visual inspection of the property
• Picture of your inspection diagram
• Detailed notes and treatment record
How Termite Treatments Work
Subterranean termites require a water source to survive. Assuming no roof or siding leaks, and with the perimeter properly treated, any termites attempting to establish an infestation must travel through treated soil, where they will be eliminated.
