Soil Pre-Treatment

Soil Pre-Treatments in Columbus

Protecting New Homes in Dayton, Cincinnati, Newark, and Surrounding Areas

Building a new home or commercial property brings excitement and countless decisions to consider—one of the most critical being how to protect it from termites. Termite damage can lead to costly repairs and compromise the structural integrity of a new build. With soil pre-treatments from TORCO™ Termite and Pest Control Company, you can safeguard your investment right from the start. Pre-construction termite prevention is a smart, long-lasting solution to keep your property protected long after the construction is complete and our termite control specialists can make sure it is done right.

Why Pre-Treatments Matter for New Constructions

Termites might not be on your radar during construction, but they should be. Termites cause billions of dollars in property damage across the U.S. every year, and once they establish a colony, they can be incredibly difficult to eliminate. Pre-construction soil treatments create a protective barrier between termites and your property, stopping infestations before they start.

This preventative approach is highly recommended for:

New home construction
Commercial property development
Additions to existing structures
Detached garages, sheds, and other buildings

Termiticides Used in Soil Pre-Treatments

The termiticides used for soil pre-treatments are highly effective, EPA-approved, and applied by trained professionals. These treatments work in one of two ways: repelling termites to prevent them from entering or eliminating them upon contact.

Some of the most trusted termiticides include:

Non-repellent termiticides – These products allow termites to pass through treated areas, unknowingly spreading the treatment to the colony.
Repellent termiticides – These treatments create a chemical barrier that termites detect and avoid.

Pre-Construction Termite Protection

For new construction projects, termite protection should be a top priority. Soil pre-treatments are required in many areas to meet building codes and lender requirements. Our team works directly with builders, contractors, and property owners to make sure that the treatment is applied at the right stage of construction for maximum effectiveness.

The process includes:

Site inspection - Before starting the pre-treatment, our team conducts a detailed construction site inspection. This helps identify any termite activity or environmental factors that may need to be addressed.
Termiticide application - We apply a termiticide solution directly to the soil in areas where termite pressure is highest. This includes beneath the foundation, around plumbing penetrations, and along the perimeter of the building.
Foundation protection - Once the treatment is complete, construction crews can proceed with pouring concrete slabs or setting up the foundation. The treated soil remains an effective termite barrier even after construction is completed.
Long-term defense - Unlike other termite prevention methods, soil pre-treatment solutions can stay active in the soil for years, providing your property with ongoing protection.

With decades of experience in pest control and termite prevention, TORCO™ has earned a reputation for excellence throughout Columbus and the surrounding areas. Our technicians are highly trained in applying soil pre-treatments efficiently and safely. We understand the unique needs of builders and property owners, and we work closely with all stakeholders to deliver high-quality results without delays or disruptions.
